Tsukinomiya (Tsuki) Shrine is a small but charming Shinto shrine in Saitama. Built in the early 9th century, it has been a place of worship for over a thousand years. Tsukinomiya Shrine is dedicated to the moon god Tsukuyomi, one of the important deities in Japanese mythology. Tsukuyomi is associated with protection and good fortune, making the shrine a popular spot for prayers related to safety and success.

The shrine features a striking vermilion torii gate, a common element in Shinto shrines, symbolizing the transition from the mundane to the sacred. The main hall, built in a traditional style, showcases intricate woodwork and detailed carvings, reflecting the craftsmanship of the period.

Tsukinomiya Shrine hosts several festivals, with the Tsuki Festival in August being the highlight. This festival includes traditional music, dances, and food stalls, attracting both locals and tourists. The shrine grounds also have a small museum displaying historical artifacts and documents, offering visitors a deeper understanding of its heritage.

Surrounded by tall trees and greenery, Tsukinomiya Shrine provides a tranquil escape from the city. It's a place where visitors can connect with nature and history, experiencing a piece of Japan’s spiritual and cultural legacy.

Very pleasant shrine located not too far from the train station. The bunny motif certainly makes this unique among the many shrines throughout Japan. There is a small parking lot and a public toilet. I was pleasantly surprised by the rather large park area on the east side of the grounds.

Shrine near Urawa Station. It's a little interesting for having no Torii and having bunnies around the shrine instead of the usual lion dogs. Be warned, this shrine is well known for refusing to give you a goshuin if your goshuin-cho is from a temple or contains temple stamps. Prepare a brand new goshuin-cho if you are interested in collecting their's.

A very beautiful shrine with so many rabbit statues around the temple. The temple is vast, they have a lot of big tree and a stage for performance. You can get omamori in this place.
