Izusan Shrine, also known as Nisho Gongen alongside Hakone Shrine, is a historic site revered as a guardian deity of the Minamoto clan, particularly by Minamoto Yoritomo. It's also celebrated as a match-making shrine due to the legend of Yoritomo and Hojo Masako's secret rendezvous here. Visitors can explore the main hall after climbing approximately 180 steps from the bus stop or drive to a parking area closer to the shrine. The shrine offers beautiful views of the sea and surrounding area. Consider visiting during the day to fully appreciate the scenery and historical significance.
