Shizuoka Sengen Shrine located in Aoi-ku, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Pref. is composed of three different shrines. Nukabe Shrine, which enshrines Onamuchi no Mikoto, the founder of Suruga province, is said to have been founded in about 100 B.C. Sengen Shrine, which enshrines Konohana Sakuyahime no Mikoto, was transferred from Fujisan Hongu Shrine by the order of Emperor Godaigo in 901. Since then it has continued to the present as Fujisan Shingu (a new shrine). Otoshimiya Shrine, which enshrines Otoshimiya no Mikoto, is said to have been founded in about 300 A.D. It used to be a guardian of an ancient market located on the Abe River. The colorfully lacquered shrine buildings are all in the late Edo period style, which were built in 60 years from 1804. 26 of the buildings are designated as National Important Cultural Properties.
