Haiden of Iseyama Kotai Jingu (伊勢山皇大神宮)

Iseyama Kotai Jingu (伊勢山皇大神宮) is a Shinto shrine founded in 1870 during Yokohama's rapid development into Japan's major port.  Known as "Oise-san of the Kanto Region" (with Oise-san referring to Ise Jingu), this shrine enshrines the kami Amaterasu Omikami.

Under the guidance of Governor Moritome Iseki of Kanagawa Prefecture, the shrine was relocated from Tobe to its current hilltop location, where it overlooks the port.  During this relocation, a five-day festival was held, during which it is said that ice cream gained nationwide popularity.

The shrine's Reisai is celebrated on May 15, a date that once marked a public holiday in Yokohama.
