This is the current main shrine of Enoshima Jinja Shrines, Hetsunomiya [辺津宮].

It was built in 1206 by Minamono no Sanetomo, the third Shogun of Kamakura Shogunate. Present shrine building was re-built in 1976.
This shrine is dedicated to the goddess of three sisiters, and can see the figure in the carved wooden panel above the door in front.

A "Chinowa" grass wheel [茅の輪] placed in front of the shrine to purify the worshipers.
When you pass through the wheel, you will be purified.

The temple complex is beautiful to look at, the path to the sea to see Mount Fuji is lined with souvenir shops and places to eat. Definitely worth a trip!

Beautiful temple complex. If you don't want to climb stairs you can also take the escalator!
