Kodama Shrine, Shinto shrine in Japan

Kodama Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Fujisawa in a wooded setting that preserves a connection to forest traditions. The grounds feature a main prayer hall, traditional torii gates, and tree-covered areas that form the heart of the worship space.

The shrine was established to honor forest spirits, reflecting early Shinto practices in the region and the importance of nature worship. Over time it became integrated into the local community and continues to serve as a place of devotion following traditional patterns.

The shrine is dedicated to the kami of trees and reflects how Shinto belief connects spirituality with the natural world. Visitors can observe the way locals and travelers show respect to forest spirits through simple rituals and offerings.

The shrine is accessible on foot and has open grounds where visitors can explore the site and offer prayers at their own pace. Early morning or late afternoon visits tend to be quieter and offer better light for walking through the wooded areas.

The shrine receives fewer visitors than larger temples in the region, offering a more intimate setting deep among the trees. This quieter character makes it possible to experience traditional practice without crowds and to hear the forest sounds clearly.
