Shizuoka Sengen Shrine, Shinto shrine complex in Aoi-ku, Japan

The Shizuoka Sengen Shrine consists of three independent buildings: Kanbe Shrine, Sengen Shrine, and Otoshiomiya Shrine, located at Mount Shizuhata's southern foot.

Founded in 901 as a branch of Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha, the shrine complex received protection from multiple Japanese clans including Minamoto, Hojo, Imagawa, and Tokugawa.

The shrine houses ceiling paintings by Hannobu Kano and Hironobu Kano in the Ohaiden building, where Kanbe Shrine and Sengen Shrine reside.

Visitors can reach the shrine through a 15-minute walk from Sumpu Castle Park, passing through a shopping arcade that leads to the main red torii gate.

Twenty-six structures within the shrine complex hold the designation of Important Cultural Properties, making it one of Japan's largest such collections.
