Shizuoka Sengen Shrine, or popularly called “Osengen-sama,” in Aoi-ku, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Pref. is a generic name for three historic shrines; Otoshimioya Shrine, Kanbe Shrine and Asama Shrine.
Kanbe Shrine enshrines Oomunachi no Mikoto, who is the founding father of Suruga province. It is said that the shrine was founded during the reign of Emperor Sujin (around 100 B.C.) Since the Nara period (710-794), when the provincial system was introduced, the provincial governors revered the shrine. In the Heian period (794-1192), the shrine became the Soja (the head shrine) in Suruga province.
The enshrined deity at Asama Shrine is Konohana Sakuyahime no Mikoto. It was transferred from Fujisan Hongu (main) Shrine under the order of Emperor Daigo in 901. Since then the shrine has been worshipped as Fujisan Shingu (new) Shrine. From its magnificent buildings and treasures, the shrine is called “Nikko in Tokai region.”
