History

Sukunahikona Jinja, enshrined in Miyagasakicho, Aoi, is a place of deep faith in Sukunahikona no Mikoto, god of medicine and welfare. Since ancient times, Sukunahikona has been revered as the god of medicine and pharmaceuticals, and many suffering from illness have come. In the heart of Shizuoka City, under the god's unchanging protection, many continue to gather seeking health and healing. A small god bringing great medical power, a sacred place indeed.
