Kawagoe Kumano Shrine

This shrine was so cool. I honestly couldn’t stop thinking about it after we left. The atmosphere, the details, and the overall feeling of the place just stayed with me. It’s one of those spots that really leaves an impression and makes you want to go back again.

We visited on October 26th 2025. We passed beneath the large red torii gate next to the road and wandered into the grounds. There were large crows statues by the entrance, all the lanterns were decorated with them as well. There shrine a set back a little from the road, just hidden around the corner. It was unfortunate that the weather wasn't good because I imagine this place is beautiful in the sunshine. We visited the grounds and got a goshuin. They even had a special goshuin, which was so pretty that I also had to get that!

A small shrine with great experience! There are money washing experience to cleanse the money and wish for wealth and fortune. Definitely recommend to give a go!

This shrine is set back from the road slightly. The crow is the symbol of the shrine. Has some interesting small little places to look and enjoy. Amazing the crow and the various religious icons that are on display. The shrine is in the smaller side so done be disappointed if you are looking for a lathe scale shrine. It quirky and enjoyable!

What a cute shrine!! I found this shrine unexpectedly while on the way to Hikawa Shrine. Even though it looks small from the outside, it is a lot bigger inside! There were a lot of independent praying places for a variety of gods which I could not recognise. One of them was two white snakes which we could pat on the head. There was also a small fountain in which a deity was playing a musical instrument surrounded by white snakes which I found to be very cute. There was also this game thing in which you donate ten yen to the donation box, and play a game in which you throw rings at different se
