Suitengu Hiranuma Jinja Shrine

Suitengu Hiranuma Jinja Shrine, Shinto shrine in Japan

Suitengu Hiranuma Jinja is a Shinto shrine in Hiranuma, Nishi-ku, Yokohama. Its current hall configuration dates from 1913, when a worship hall was built in front of the main sanctuary. The grounds contain four subordinate shrines: Hiranuma Inari, Inari, Kamado-Mihashira and Hiranuma Tenmangu. The shrine crest is a rope-wrapped anchor.

The shrine began in 1839, when Hiranuma Kyubei (the fifth of that name) enshrined a small hokora that villagers had found drifting in an inlet while working the salt fields; it kept returning to shore, and inside was a talisman from Kurume Suitengu in Chikugo. It stood first near Motohiranuma Bridge on the Katabira River, moved several times, and reached its present site in 1863. Under the Meiji shrine-ranking system it was renamed Hiranuma Jinja as the village shrine of Hiranuma; the worship hall in front of the main sanctuary was built in 1913.

The shrine's name comes from a water-deity amulet from Kurume Suitengu found inside a small hokora that villagers pulled from the inlet; it was enshrined as the guardian of Hiranuma New Field. The deity is honoured for safe childbirth and water, and the shrine is also revered for protection from fire: it survived the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake and the 29 May 1945 Yokohama air raid. The annual festival is held on 5 September, with mikoshi processions and kagura performances.

The shrine stands at 2-8-20 Hiranuma, Nishi-ku, a one-minute walk from Hiranuma-bashi Station on the Sotetsu line and about five minutes from Tobe Station on the Keikyu line. It serves the neighbourhoods of Hiranuma, Nishihiranuma, Takashima, Midoricho and part of Minato Mirai. Goshuin seals have not been issued since 2013, so bring no stamp book expecting one.

The shrine's crest is a rope-wrapped anchor, a nod to its origins near the Minamigawa inlet. Since 2013 the shrine has stopped issuing goshuin seals, so visitors cannot obtain a stamp there. The grounds also contain four small subsidiary shrines, including Hiranuma Inari and Hiranuma Tenmangu.
