Sugiyama Shrine, Shinto shrine in Kawashima-chō, Japan.

The Sugiyama Shrine features traditional Japanese architecture with a distinctive roof and red torii gate, surrounded by numerous cherry trees and bamboo groves.

Founded by the influential feudal lord Hōjō Ujiyasu in 1600, the shrine stands as a testament to the military and political power of the Hōjō clan.

The shrine serves as a central location for seasonal festivals and religious ceremonies, maintaining centuries-old Shinto traditions for the local community.

Visitors can access the shrine grounds daily, with increased attendance during spring when cherry blossoms create a natural canopy over the pathways.

The combination of the shrine's elevated position and adjacent Toun-ji Temple cemetery offers panoramic views of Machida city through cherry blossom branches.
