A shrine that boats over 1900 years of history and the guardian dieties of the Musashi Province.
Okunitama Shrine, with a history stretching back about 1900 years, is where Okunitama-no-Okami, the deity protecting the Musashino area, is enshrined. Musashino was a vast area including modern-day Tokyo City, Saitama, and parts of Kanagawa. Inside the shrine grounds are several smaller shrines, each one granting its own blessing. It's said to offer various blessings, particularly those for warding off evil and matchmaking.
Behind the main shrine is a sacred gingko tree dating back over 1,000 years. It is said to be the power spot with the greatest impact inside Okunitama Shrine!
Stretching the entire length of about 500 meters from Keio Fuchu Station, the shrine approach is lined with about 120 Japanese Zelkova trees. Called Babadaimon no Keyaki Namiki, this is designated as a national natural monument in Japan.
Taking place mainly on May 5, the Kurayami Matsuri is a festival featuring floats and large Taiko drums. Many people gather for the lively highlight, a parade of floats being pulled throughout town.

從京王線府中站走約5分鐘可抵達交通非常便利，前往神社的道路上是有名的櫸木參道，全日本最大花崗岩鳥居旁的櫸木已有約400年歷史是最古老的一株。
剛好趕上舉辦暗夜祭，人潮人海非常熱鬧小吃攤位多到數不清.
府中市是第一次來印象真的很好.
推哦～
在參觀過程中，我深深感受到了日本文化的厚重和神聖。神社的建築風格令人驚歎不已。
聽說大國魂神社是驅邪招來福氣、結良緣很靈驗而廣為人知，來到此特地來拜一下!
來的時候正在舉辦慶典活動，熱鬧非凡。
比起明治神宮，大國魂神社因為地理位置的關係會更多當地人。
每個人都很虔誠的參拜，很溫暖。
