Tsuki Shrine, Shinto shrine in Kishichō, Japan
The Tsuki Shrine features stone rabbit statues at its entrance instead of traditional lion-dog guardians, reflecting its special connection to lunar symbolism.
Established around 771, Tsuki Shrine initially functioned as a sacred storehouse for tributes to the gods, known as mitsugimono in Japanese tradition.
The shrine's name evolved from 'chō' to 'tsuki', meaning moon, influenced by East Asian beliefs that see a rabbit shape in lunar markings.
Visitors can reach the shrine through a 10-minute walk from Urawa Station, with multiple historical landmarks surrounding the religious complex.
Unlike other Shinto shrines, Tsuki Shrine does not include traditional torii gates, a design choice that facilitated the transport of offerings in its early days.
