เกี่ยวกับ
Samukawa Daimyojin is the divine spirit enshrined at Samukawa Jinja in Samukawa-machi, Kanagawa Prefecture—the Ichinomiya (chief shrine) of the former Sagami Province. The shrine is nationally famous for 'Happo-yoke' (八方除け), protection from evil in all eight directions and all aspects of life. The deity's specific identity in classical mythology is debated; the shrine enshrines Samukawa no Kami without identifying the deity with a more famous mythological figure.
