We urge you to come into contact with the doings of the local people, which have been watched over since long ago by the ancient trees, as well as the history of Abiko, which has been preserved down to the present without being swayed by the passage of time. A Trip through EternityThe deity enshrined here is Fukiaezu Ugaya, who was born to Hori-no-Mikoto, the famous god of the mountain from the legend of “Umihiko the Mountain God,” and Princess Toyotama, who is the daughter of the god of the sea. Every year a festival is held on the evening of August 15. The main shrine features magnificent engravings of mythic hero’s Ama-no-Iwato, Yamata-no-Orochi’s renunciation, Jinmu Tosei, and more. It also has a giant gingko tree.Beyond 1812 Araki, Abiko City By foot 12 minutes from Araki Station (950 km)Fukiaezu Shrine (Cultural Property by Abiko city)Legend has it that this well, which is located near Masakado Shrine, was dug by Masakado himself.
