金子神社, Shinto shrine in Iruma, Japan

Kaneko Jinja is a Shinto shrine located in the Nishi-Mitsuki area of Iruma, Japan. The grounds include a main hall built in the traditional Shinmei style, several smaller auxiliary shrines, and a tree-lined approach path leading to the entrance.

Originally called Tennō-sha, the shrine's founding date is unknown; an Edo-period land register records a "Tennō-yama shrine" and a 1791 village report lists a Gozu Tennō shrine where villagers gathered each 15 June. In 1872, under the separation of Buddhism and Shinto, the deity became Susanoo and the name Kaneko Jinja. In 1968 the Mitsumine and Mitsuki shrines were merged into it.

The main festival takes place every year in late April, when villagers carry a portable shrine through the streets and play traditional drum music known as Nishi-Mitsuki Bayashi. Children and adults take part together, making it a lively community event.

The shrine is easily reached on foot and can be visited as part of a walk through the surrounding wooded area. There are no restroom facilities on the grounds, so it is best to plan for this before arriving.

Behind the shrine, along a mountain path, there is a spot that locals call Yama no Kami, meaning Mountain God. Only an old tree and a few stones remain there today, but the place is still treated as sacred by the community.
