Ota, Tokyo Prefettura
A colpo d'occhio
Featured as a filming location in the movie 'Shin Godzilla,' the shrine now embraces its pop culture fame with a Godzilla-themed vending machine and Godzilla hand towels sold on the premises.
The shrine was founded in 1186 when Hōjō Masako, wife of shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo, saw Mt. Fuji across the Tamagawa River and enshrined a statue to her patron deity here while following her husband to battle.
The shrine is built on top of a Kofun-period burial mound called Sengen Shrine Tumulus—an ancient keyhole-shaped tomb where only the round rear portion survives, with the front section lost to development.
The shrine's hand-washing basin is uniquely shaped like Mt. Fuji, and spinning wheels inscribed with passages from the Kojiki (Japan's oldest chronicle) stand before the first torii gate—a rare feature among shrines.
