Yokosuka Power Spot No.2 --- Awakuchi Shrine 安房口神社

Interestingly, located not too far to the north of the Otsuka-Dai Kofun (see my 19 February 2017 entry), is maybe one of the oldest Shinto Shrines on the Miura Peninsula --- called:  Awakuchi Jinja.

There no actual shrine building, but, instead, a mysterious large stone is located in the holy spot.

More to follow on this, as I continue some research --- but it's definitely an ancient green power spot, located in the middle of a Yokosuka housing suburb area.

Here is a picture of the "holy rock" at the Awakuchi Jinja site:

Nearby, there is a box full of small stones & pebbles, and since Awakuchi is said to have special powers to aid safe childbirth, the local tradition is for an expectant mother or family member to take one stone .... and, after a successful delivery, come back to the shrine and return two stones to the box...
