Yuzusame-jinja

Yuzusame-jinja, Shinto shrine in Japan

Yuzusame-jinja is a Shinto shrine in Tsuruoka, Yamagata Prefecture, dedicated to Mizokui-hime-no-mikoto in the central seat, with Ōkuninushi-no-mikoto on the left and Sukunabikona-no-mikoto on the right. Its wooden main hall (honden) was enlarged in 1882 by master carpenter Takahashi Kanekichi. The shrine grounds include a stone-paved approach with a signboard describing the 2002 filming of the movie Tasogare Seibei.

Yuzusame-jinja traces its founding to 650, the first year of the Hakuchi era. Long known as Kannon-dō, Yuzō Gongen and Ryūzō Gongen, it served as guardian shrine of the Yudagawa Onsen hot springs. It is listed in the Engishiki Jinmyōchō and was ranked a gōsha in 1876. The present honden was enlarged in 1882 by master carpenter Takahashi Kaneyoshi.

The shrine has long been venerated by residents of the Yudagawa Onsen area as its tutelary shrine, and was formerly known as Kannon-dō, Yuzō Gongen and Ryūzō Gongen. A signboard on the approach path shows photographs and notes from the April 2002 filming of the movie Tasogare Seibei (The Twilight Samurai) at the shrine.

The shrine stands in the Yudagawa area of Tsuruoka, reached by Shonai Kotsu bus from JR Tsuruoka Station in about 20 minutes. A signboard on the approach path shows photographs and details of the 2002 filming of the movie Tasogare Seibei, which took place on these grounds.

In late April 2002 the shrine grounds served as a filming location for the movie Tasogare Seibei (The Twilight Samurai). A signboard along the approach path records the shoot, with photographs of the cast and crew on location. Visitors walking to the main hall often pass it without stopping.
