Ōkunitama Shrine, Shinto shrine in Fuchū, Japan

The main shrine building features nagare-zukuri architecture with flowing rooflines, surrounded by inner and outer gates within a large wooded complex.

The shrine stands on the former site of Musashi Provincial Capital, which served as a governmental hub during the Nara and Heian periods.

The annual Kurayami Festival, held from April 30 to May 6, includes traditional horse racing and masked folk dance performances along Zelkova Row.

Visitors can reach the shrine within five minutes on foot from Fuchūhommachi Station on the JR East Musashino Line in western Tokyo.

Archaeological excavations revealed over 4000 pit dwellings near the shrine, indicating a substantial population center during the 7th and 8th centuries.
