History

Kotai Jingu, also known as Shinmei-gu or Karasumori Jinja, is enshrined in Kugenuma, Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture. It serves as the tutelary deity of the former Tokami-go (Kugenuma Village) and has long been revered by locals as the Shinmei-sama. In 1117 (Eikyuu 5) it became the grand guardian shrine of Oba no Mikuriya. Its annual festival features nine ornate doll floats designated as Fujisawa City tangible folk cultural properties, considered among the finest in Kanagawa, and the Yudate Kagura ritual dance is designated an intangible folk cultural property of the city.
