Iseyama Kotai Jingu

Iseyama Kotai Jingu (伊勢山皇大神宮) is a Shinto shrine in Miyazaki-cho, Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, founded in 1870 as the guardian shrine of the newly opened port of Yokohama. The principal kami is Amaterasu-Omikami, recorded in the Kojiki (712 CE) as the imperial ancestral deity born from the left eye of Izanagi-no-Mikoto. The shrine was established during the Meiji government's integration of State Shinto, prefectural governor Iseki Moritome leading the project to install a branch of Ise Jingu as the symbolic centre of the Kanto port. The main hall was rebuilt in the Reiwa era using the former inner shrine hall of Ise Jingu.
