[Details]

Hayabuma Shrine is a historic shrine founded in 1217 by Kagesane, the elder brother of Kagetoki Kajiwara. It is widely known for its divine virtue of everything going well.
The shrine grounds are located at an elevation of 12 meters above sea level. There is a Nade-uma (petting horse) statue of a divine horse that withstood the 15-meter tsunami during the Great East Japan Earthquake. Visitors constantly come to gently pet its head, legs, and body, wishing for everything to go well.

The enshrined deity is Ukanomitama-no-Mikoto, believed to bring blessings for abundant harvests, business prosperity, and financial improvement. Additionally, due to a historical event where First Kagesane prayed for the safe childbirth of Masako Hojo at the command of Yoritomo Minamoto, resulting in the birth of their son (Yoriiie Minamoto), the shrine is also known as a guardian deity for safe childbirth and child-rearing.
