Juniso Kumano Shrine

Juniso Kumano Shrine is at the edge of Shinjuku Chuo Park.
It's told to have been established in 14 - 15th century by a rich merchant.

Since he became successful after he had deified a god of his home town Kumano, he had expanded to deify all 12 gods in Kumano. "Juniso" means 12 gods.

This used to be a popular place with waterfalls and ponds in Edo era.
We lost these nature after we built water purification plant in Meiji era.
