Top 22 things to do and attractions in Ebina

Small area in the mall zone with water features and some benches. There were vendors selling goods and snacks. Not a large grassy area just lots of concrete.

I really like this place. It is really nice place to sit. Many shops 💦.

Huge multi level shopping center with giant fan misters in the center and large food market that has dozens of stalls and places to eat.

Its looks like park but actually thelis area is free space between 2 large super market. Good for passing time indeed.

It is a big spacious park, surrounded by shopping centre, restaurants, cafes and etc. There are children playground, park, and toilet. きれいね🌸🌸🌸

Great shopping and restaurants!

Very nice place. Plenty of room and plenty of fun shopping nearby.

That was one of the best train museum I did in Japan ! My kid loved it too ! The miniature city is impressive, really beautiful. I didn't know they also have some activities. Next time we go I will make reservation for those activities !

It's a small museum, but the few trains they have are very nice. Nice little history about the trains. For kids it's seems to be a blast for them. So many families with their kids and they were just having a ball.

I don't know why there is a museum for the romancecar. Romancecar train is probably one of the worst experiences for me. It is expensive and unreliable. The worst is it seems to run slower than a regular train. I really don't understand the purpose of this train. You wait 30 mins for the romancecar so that you can get there the same time as the regular car.

Wonderful place for children on a rainy day! My toddlers loved exploring all the trains. The cafeteria has a vegetarian burger on the menu. Strollers are allowed in but there’s also a safe place to leave them.

Nice, well lit, reasonably priced place for Odakyu Romance car enthusiasts!! Easy to navigate for wheelchairs. Static displays of retired trains, as well as a huge diaroma room, interactives and a gift shop. Easy access from Ebina station.

Must visit place if you’re a fan of trains! The dioramas alone are worth the cost, the actual trains are the cherry on top. The museum holds older train models and you can go sit inside on some of them to feel nostalgic.

Fun museum for anyone who is a fan of trains (and even those who aren’t.) The museum is quite small so don’t expect it to take more than an hour or two to see everything. The first part of the museum has various train cars from different eras that you can walk into and explore a little (there are barriers to the seats for most of them.) After that there’s an awesome illuminated mini-city which was really fun to explore and point out things we recognized. There’s a kids play area after that, with a fun interactive wall, play area and a section where you can decorate your own train car. There is also a small gift shop.

Spacious and clean. You can set up a tent to enjoy the flowers while the kids play. It is better than if the parking is free. Currently, there is an entrance fee on holiday.

its a perfect place for sakura picnic near by river ,kids have lot of play area options vending machines for hot and cold beverages also icecream vending machines,good for families elders too with wheel chair access and toilets neat and clean ,on a sunny day good for picnic spots.

This place has everything for a perfect day out picnic. A river nearby, many slides for children beautiful sunny places to sit and relax, on weekend you can find food stall there which serve good food. A very big ground to play with children.

A simple park that has a mini golf course and space to play soccer, baseball etc. Mt. Oya can be seen from here as well as other mountains.

Was very plain and not much green to see in early spring (March). The river isn't as impressive nor then as green as visiting for example the Tama river

A beautiful place to do a hanami or have a picnic. A lot of fun things for kids as well. Just a really beautiful park.

This year at the end of April not yet so many flowers, but very nice and relaxing area

Very beautiful temple, there is apparently sometimes cats running around here but I unfortunately saw none today

(Translated by Google) The current state of Kokubunji in Sagami, which was established in response to Emperor Shomu's edict to build Kokubunji throughout the country during the Nara Tenpyo era. It was built on a slightly higher hill, a little further away than the Kokubunji ruins. (Original) 奈良天平期の聖武天皇による全国における国分寺建設の詔よって設けられた相模の国分寺の現在。 国分寺跡となっている場所より少し移動してさらに小高い丘に建立されている。

(Translated by Google) Ebina Station, where I got off for the first time in 45 years, was lined with commercial facilities. The seven-storied pagoda, which indicates that Kokubunji was once there, has been recreated in the central plaza. The successor temple, Kokubunji, is located on the hillside, offering a panoramic view of the city of Ebina. Although it was not a very large temple, the inside of the mountain was well-organized. (Original) 45年ぶりに降りた海老名駅は、商業施設が軒を連ねていた。国分寺があったことを示す七重塔が中央の広場に再現されていた。後継の国分寺は坂を登った丘の中腹にあり、海老名の街並みが一望できる。寺院としてはさほどの規模ではないが、山内は整理がされていた。

(Translated by Google) On October 8th and 9th, 2022, the secret Buddhist statue of the Year of the Tiger (Yakushi Sanzon statue) was unveiled. They were quite impressive, including the Twelve Generals, but they were only opened once every 12 years. The main hall used to be made of concrete, but it has been replaced with a splendid wooden structure. According to research, it was rebuilt in 1994. There is a temple bell (the bell tower is made of concrete) that has been passed down since the Kamakura period, as well as a memorial monument for ``Nun's Crying Water'' on the grounds. Three (four if you include the large zelkova tree outside the temple) that play Ebina local karuta are gathered here. (Original) 2022年10月8、9日と秘仏である寅年本尊（薬師三尊像）の御開帳がありました。十二神将を含めなかなか立派でしたが御開帳はなんと12年に1度とのことでした。 本堂は、昔はコンクリートでしたが立派な木造のものに変わっていました。調べたところ平成6年に再建されたとのことです。 鎌倉時代から伝わる梵鐘（鐘楼はコンクリート）、また「尼の泣き水」供養碑も境内にあります。この地にえびな郷土かるたの対象が３つ（寺の外にある大けやきを含めると4つ）集まっていることになります。

(Translated by Google) This is the current Sagami Kokubunji Temple. The temple bell was donated in 1292 and is a national treasure. I wasn't able to take a proper photo, but... (Original) 現在の相模国分寺ですね。梵鐘は1292年に寄進されたもので国宝なのですね。ちゃんと写真撮れなかったですが…

(Translated by Google) Kokubunji was moved from its original location during the Heian period, and has remained here to this day. The temple bell is designated as a national important cultural property. It is a small but quite quaint temple. (Original) 平安時代にもとからあったところから移された国分寺、現在までここに至る。梵鐘は国の重要文化財になっている。こじんまりとしているがなかなか趣のあるお寺である。

(Translated by Google) A temple that inherited the lanterns of Kokubunji in Sagami Province, which was built by Emperor Shomu's edict. There is a temple bell that is a nationally designated important cultural property. Currently Koyasan Shingon sect. In 741 (Tenpyo 13), this temple is one of the Kokubunji temples built in various countries under the edict of Emperor Shomu, and is a descendant of Kokubunji Temple in Sagami Province. ("Sagami Province" approximates the area of ​​current Kanagawa Prefecture minus Yokohama City and Kawasaki City) At the time of its construction, there was a vast temple area slightly north of the current location (currently maintained as a nationally designated historical site, the Sagami Kokubunji Ruins).Furthermore, excavated artifacts are on display at the adjacent Ebina City Onkokan. ) It declined due to the collapse of the Ritsuryo system, natural disasters, military fires, etc., and has repeatedly revived each time to the present day. Unfortunately, no buildings from that time remain. (2022-09) (Original) 聖武天皇の詔(みことのり)により建立された相模国の国分寺の法灯を継ぐ寺院。国指定重要文化財の梵鐘がある。現在は高野山真言宗。 741年(天平13年)、聖武天皇の詔により各国に建立された国分寺のひとつ、相模国の国分寺の後裔となる寺院。(「相模国」は現在の神奈川県から横浜市・川崎市を抜いた地域に近似) 建立当時は現在地よりやや北方に広大な寺域があった(現在は国指定史跡「相模国分寺跡」として整備されている。また、出土品などは隣接する海老名市温故館にて展示されている) 律令体制の崩壊、自然災害や兵火などにより衰退し、その都度再興を繰り返し現在に至る。残念ながら当時の建築物などは残されていない。 (2022-09)

A very long bridge. It’s 381m long, but it doesn’t look anything special other than it’s just long.

(Translated by Google) When passing over the bridge, be careful of the no lane change zone. A police officer is on duty from time to time. In the upbound direction, the wait for a right turn at the Shimoimaizumi intersection extends all the way to the bridge, causing traffic congestion. (Original) 橋を通過時は車線変更禁止ゾーンにご注意を。お巡りさんが時折お仕事をしています。上り方向は下今泉の交差点の右折待ちが橋まで延びて渋滞の起因にもなってます。

(Translated by Google) National Route 246 is a bridge that connects Atsugi City and Ebina City. In the evening, the sunset sky on the way down is very beautiful. The mountain ranges of Iiyama and Tanzawa are also very beautiful. Also, when it's snowing, it's a dramatic place to see the wind blowing from side to side. All of them are limited to westbound (downhill) heading towards Atsugi. (Original) 国道246号線が厚木市と海老名市を結ぶ橋です。夕方、下り方面は夕焼け空がとても美しい。飯山、丹沢の山並みもとても美しいです。また、雪が降っている時は横に流れていく雪風がドラマチックな場所です。どれも厚木方面に向かう西向き（下り）限定ではありますが。

(Translated by Google) At both ends of the bridge, you can even see the two-engine planes catching their prey. Be patient when changing lanes on yellow lines and drive safely. (point adder) (Original) 橋の両端で、二交機が獲物を捕まえている風景も見えたりします。 黄色線で車線変更はガマン、安全運転で (地点追加者)

(Translated by Google) Under the bridge is a famous spot for catfish fishing, bass, and snailfish. The road beside the bridge is a popular spot for the 2nd Traffic Police Squad to catch rats. I tend to go fast over long distances, but if you don't want a nice ticket as a gift, stick to 60km! (Original) 橋の下は鯰釣りやバス、ヘラブナの名所 橋の脇道は第2交通機動隊のネズミ取りの名所 ロングレンジでスピード出しがちですが素敵な切符のプレゼントが欲しくないなら60キロ厳守で！

(Translated by Google) National Route 246 spanning the Sagami River The sidewalks at both ends are a little rough, so it's not very comfortable on a bicycle. (Original) 相模川に掛かる国道246号線 両端の歩道は少し荒れてるので自転車だとあまり快適じゃない

(Translated by Google) The main artery bridge and sidewalks have also been maintained. Good. (Original) 大動脈の大橋、歩道も整備されています。良好です。

Great little park with distinct areas for playground ball court and relaxing

Nice small park for the kids. The slide great even for adults lol

Nice place 😊

My daughter love this very much 😍

We had a great time....

Its a very beautiful setting.

Nice

(Translated by Google) As the name suggests, it is a satoyama park rich in nature. There is a well-maintained wooded area that remains in its natural state.It's great that you can easily enjoy forest bathing while taking a walk. (Original) 名前通り自然豊富な里山公園です｡ 程よく整備され自然のままの雑木林が残っています｡散歩がてら手軽に森林浴が楽しめるのがいいですね｡

(Translated by Google) There is a view from the top of the mountain (there is also a signboard). There are table sets and several benches in the arbor. 2025/4/29 (Original) 山頂からは展望あり(標札も)。東屋にテーブルセット、ベンチが複数。2025/4/29

(Translated by Google) April 16, 2024㈫ It's rich in nature and looks like it could be used for catching insects. (Original) 2024年4月16日㈫ 自然豊かで虫捕りとか出来そうだね。

(Translated by Google) It's dark under the lighthouse. I've passed by many times, but I've never been there. I stopped by here while taking a walk. After a little while, green will appear and it will be fun. (Original) 灯台下暗しです。何度も側を通過してますが、行ったことありませんでした。散歩がてらにここに寄りました。もう少ししたら緑が出てきて楽しめそうです。

(Translated by Google) It's on a hill, and I saw the night view, which was pretty amazing. (Original) 丘にあり、夜景を見たがなかなかなもんだったよ。

(Translated by Google) It's a perfect place to relax with plenty of nature and few people ☺️ (Original) 自然豊かで人も少なく、ゆっくりするには最適な場所です☺️

(Translated by Google) My 3-year-old son got tired of LaLaport, so I looked up the park on Google Maps and came here on foot. First of all, when heading here from LaLaport, I had a hard time climbing the steep path. Furthermore, when we arrived at the park, we had worked hard to climb the mountain and there was only one resting place... There were no play equipment at all. (Original) 3歳になる息子がららぽーと飽きたというので、Google Mapで公園を調べて、こちらに徒歩で遊びに来ました。まず、ららぽーとから、こちらに向かう際に急な登り道で大変苦労しました。さらに、いざ公園についたら、これまた山で頑張って登ったところ休憩所がポツンとあるだけ・・・。遊具が一切ありませんでした。

Very

(Translated by Google) I visited for my child's baseball team practice match. 12-3 minutes walk from Shake Station on the Sagami Line. There are plenty of toilets so you can rest assured. Being easy to get to by public transportation is a huge advantage for this type of stadium! (Original) 子供の野球チーム練習試合で訪れました。相模線社家駅から徒歩12〜3分。トイレも多めで安心です。公共交通機関で行きやすいのはこの種の球場ではアドバンテージでかいですね！

(Translated by Google) We had fun at the pony ride. We were also able to interact with guinea pigs and rabbits. As for food, they pick up soft weeds from the surrounding area themselves. (Original) ポニー乗り場で楽しむことができました。 モルモットやウサギとも触れ合うことができました。餌は、周辺の柔らかい雑草を自ら摘んであげる感じです。

(Translated by Google) There is a large parking lot and plenty of facilities. A park where children can live and play is the best for children. The only thing I would like to see is the toilet in my ancestor's room being renovated as soon as possible, as it is old and I don't want to use it much. (Original) 駐車場も広く施設も充実している。安生して遊べる公園は子供には最高です。 祖とのトイレだけは、古くてあまり使いたくないので早くリニューアルして欲しい。

(Translated by Google) You can watch games such as grass baseball and youth baseball. It would be a good stadium if it was in Ebina. (Original) 草野球、少年野球などの試合が見れます。 海老名のなかだったら良い球場です。

(Translated by Google) I think the stadium itself is wonderful, but the seats are too small. It's a waste because it's an electronic bulletin board and the facilities are perfect. (Original) 球場(グランド)自体は素晴らしいと亜思いますが、観客席が狭すぎますね。電光掲示板だし、申し分ない施設なのにもったいない。

(Translated by Google) The Yomiuri Giants' second-team game has also been held in the past. ⚾For some reason, it will not be used for the Kanagawa Prefecture summer Koshien qualifying round. ❔ (Original) 読売ジャイアンツの二軍戦の開催も過去にありました。⚾神奈川県夏の甲子園予選には何故か使用されません。❔

A quite spot to have a drink of ocha and embrace the beauty

Very beautiful Buddhist temple. Very peaceful. Nice place to visit.

(Translated by Google) During the year-end and New Year holidays, the gates and precincts are decorated with lanterns and other decorations, making it lively. On New Year's Eve, the bell above the gate is hung. (Original) 年末年始は門、境内に提灯などの飾り付けをして賑やかです。大晦日は門の上の鐘をつけるそうです。

(Translated by Google) There was a grave of a relative there, and I was blessed with a connection there. In the main hall, which is protected by a highly respected priest, there are several wooden carvings of insects. Please look for it when you visit the shrine. (Original) 親類の墓があり、ご縁をいただきました。心から尊敬できるお上人様に守られている本堂には、何匹か昆虫の木彫がひそんでいます。ご参拝の折には、探してみてください。

(Translated by Google) Nichiren sect temple. The temple grounds are spacious and the main hall with beautiful wood grain is magnificent. On both sides of the gate, there are white walls that look like a temple. The gate from the Edo period is also a highlight. The personalities of the chief priest and his mother are also wonderful. Visited in February 2015. (Original) 日蓮宗寺院。 寺地も広く、木目が綺麗な本堂が立派です。 門両側には、お寺らしく白壁が拡がります。 江戸時代からの門も、見処です。 御住職とお母様の、お人柄も素晴らしい。 平成27年2月参拝。

(Translated by Google) The weeping cherry blossoms were beautiful. (Original) 枝垂れ桜が素敵でした。

(Translated by Google) It's an ordinary temple🤓There are sects, but cemetery users can be buried regardless of their sect or other sects😲By the way, my father is buried there🙏 (Original) 普通のお寺さんです🤓一応は宗派が有りますが墓地利用者さんは無宗派、他宗派問わずに埋葬可能です😲ちなみに親父を納めて有ります🙏

(Translated by Google) April 13, 2024㈯ Perhaps because it is an ancient tomb, the only facilities are stairs and chairs. No toilet or ramp. Although it lacks convenience, it is rich in nature. (Original) 2024年4月13日㈯ 古墳があるからか、設備は階段と椅子のみ。 トイレやスロープ無し。 利便性が無い代わりに自然豊かだね。

Excellent park for kids of any age. There is a small stream in the park that if you bring a small net you can catch shrimp. There are big trees that make great shaded area for the kids. There is parking right by the park and is still open right now. We have been several times.

Great place to enjoy Hanami! Wide place and bunch of sakura along the stream. But looking forward that this place will be more convenient for handicap persons specially those on wheelchair!

Great place to spend time with family and loved ones. We had our first picnik this spring there is a gazebo and playground. A nearby Lawson is also convenient to buy anything for snacks.

Charming spot for sakura. A hidden gem.

Another great community park here.

Nice and good for a nice walk.

Nice

(Translated by Google) This is the ruins of a mansion donated to Ebina City by the Imafuku family, who were vassals of the Kai-Takeda family.The park is filled with medicinal trees and flowers, and is home to historic buildings such as a storehouse and a medicine gate built in the Edo period. Things are also left behind. It's a quiet, small park in a residential area, but the stagnant pond is a shame. (Original) 甲斐武田家の家臣であった今福家より海老名市に寄贈された屋敷跡で、園内には薬効のある木や草花が植えられ、江戸時代に建てられた蔵や薬医門などの歴史ある建造物も残されています。 住宅街にある静かで小さな公園ですが、淀んだ池が残念な所でしょうか。

(Translated by Google) Although it is a small park, there are many things to see. The Art Nouveau-style iron decoration on the back gate is said to be a design of the current character for Imafuku. In spring there were weeping cherry blossoms, and now there are many pomegranates. (Original) 小さいながらも色々と見所のある公園。裏門についたアール・ヌーヴォー調の鉄製の飾りは今福の今の字をデザインしたものなのだそう。春は枝垂れ桜、今は柘榴がたくさんなっていました。

(Translated by Google) The garden has a historical background and taste, and there are many trees and plants, making it perfect for a walk. (Original) 歴史的背景及び趣きのある庭 木や、植物が沢山有りお散歩にも、最適です。

(Translated by Google) It's a good place to stop by as part of a walk from City Hall to Atsugi Station, rather than just coming here for the purpose. We recommend visiting when the greenery is pleasant. You might be disappointed if you come just for this place, but there are many shrines and temples nearby, such as Kaigenji Temple, so I think it would be a good idea to take a course that takes you there 🛕⛩️ (Original) ここを目的に来るのではなく、市役所から厚木駅にかけての散策の一環として寄るにはいい場所です。 緑が心地よい時期に寄るのがおすすめ。 ここだけの為に来るとがっかりするかもしれませんが、近くに海源寺などの神社仏閣が幾つもあるので、そこを巡るコースがいいかと思います🛕⛩️

(Translated by Google) I haven't met anyone else in the park, which means it's quiet. Trees and flowers that quietly bloom each season. It might be a good place to relax surrounded by big trees. However, I think it's better to avoid midsummer. There are also many mosquitoes. (Original) 園内で他の人と会ったことがない…ということは、静かではある。 季節毎に、ひっそりと花をつける木々や、草花。大きな木に囲まれボーッとするには良いかもしれません。 でも、真夏は避けた方がよいかと思います。蚊も多い。

(Translated by Google) It is said to have been a historic house and has been designated as a cultural property. I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't seem to be well taken care of. I was told that there was a kouhone planted there, so I went there to see it, but there was no sign of it. (Original) 由緒ある家だったそうで、文化財に指定されておるとか。 手入れが行き届かないようで少し残念です。コウホネが植えられていると言うので行ってみたのですが、影かたち無かったです

(Translated by Google) This is a historic facility of the Ebina City Board of Education. The Nakashinden Neighborhood Association and citizen volunteers are in charge of cleaning the area.There is a well, but the drainage is not good enough and the pond is covered in sludge. Also, please be careful as there are mosquitoes. (Original) 海老名市教育委員会の史跡施設です。 中新田自治会と市民ボランティアが清掃を担当、井戸がありますがその排水がいまいちで池がヘドロ状態なのが気になります。 また、蚊が発生してますので注意ください。

festive vibes

Small shrine which is loved many Ebina people.

(Translated by Google) Visited around 3pm on January 8th. The parking lot was a little difficult to find, so I passed by it once 💦 I visited this shrine for the first time because it was famous for pandas. New Year's Day is over, and things have calmed down quite a bit. It is a wonderful shrine with playful details such as miniature lanterns. While there are many shrines that do not allow you to write directly on the stamp book during January, this one did so. Thank you. What's more, they performed a bell exorcism on the goshuin stamp. I have received goshuin stamps at various shrines, but this was my first experience and I was moved. I would like to visit you again. (Original) １月８日１５時過ぎ頃訪問。 駐車場が少しわかりにくく、一度通り過ぎてしまいました💦 パンダで有名な神社とのことで、初めてお伺いいたしました。 お正月も終わり、かなり落ち着いておりました。 灯篭にミニチュアがあったりと、細やかなところまで遊び心のある素敵な神社です。 １月中は御朱印帳への直書きをしてくださらない神社が多い中、こちらは直書きしてくださいました。ありがたや〜。 しかも御朱印に鈴祓いをしてくださいました。 様々な神社で御朱印を拝受して参りましたが、初めての経験で感動いたしました。 またお伺いしたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by here on my hobby trip around the prefecture. I knew it was a historic shrine, but... That aside, I applaud the innovative efforts of the negi (negi priest) and panda negi (negi priest). Does this shrine have a snack bar that opens at night? There was a sign inside the stone tower. However, it seems that instead of a big tiger, it's a rampaging bear that appears. Parking is free for those who go by car. However, when you leave, you may have to take a back road, but the cars are fast, so be careful and look left and right! (Original) 趣味の県内徘徊旅で寄らせた頂きました。由緒ある神社だと前知識は持って行きましたが・・・。それはさておき、ネギ禰宜やパンダ禰宜等の革新的試みには拍手です。 この神社は夜になるとスナックが開店するのでしょうか？　看板も石塔内に出てました。ただ大トラではなく暴れ熊が出るみたいです。 車で行かれる方に、駐車場は無料です。ただ出る時に裏道？なのに車は速いので左右の確認を慎重に！

(Translated by Google) Ebina general guardian. This shrine is famous for Negi Negi and the panda priest. I suddenly decided to visit him on a weekday, and since he seemed to be absent, I received a stamp of his name. I would like to have the opportunity to receive your handwritten notes again. Please call me when I'm leaving! There are kind signs like this all over the place. I can feel that everyone is trying to respond to the desire to meet the panda chief priest. The precincts are not very large, but you can feel the calm and relaxed atmosphere. The pylon is a panda and the pole is a green onion, making it very elaborate and interesting. (Original) 海老名総鎮守。 ネギ禰宜さんと、パンダ宮司さんが有名な神社。 思い立って急に平日に伺ったのでご不在のようで書き置きの御朱印をいただきました。 また改めて直書きのをいただく機会を作りたいと思います。 出て行くから電話くださいね！という親切な表示がそこかしこにあります。 みなさんパンダ宮司さんに会いたいという気持ちに応えようとしてくださる感じが伝わります。 境内はそれほど広くはありませんが落ち着いた雰囲気でゆったりとした空気を感じる事ができます。 パイロンはパンダ、ポールはネギと非常に凝っていて面白いです。

(Translated by Google) It's pronounced "Aruka Shrine." I've been curious about it for quite some time, but it's in a rather tricky location. The nearest station is Ebina Station on the Odakyu Line (JR Sagami Line), but it's actually easier to get there from the west exit of Ebina Station on the Sagami Line. However, the road gets complicated toward the end, so if you want to get there more easily, it might be easier to get there from Atsugi Station (also on the Odakyu Line and JR Sagami Line), one stop down. There's usually at least one taxi parked on the west side of Ebina Station on the Sagami Line. There's no significant taxi stand at Atsugi Station. As long as you don't get lost, Ebina Station should be a little closer (only a few minutes). From Atsugi Station, head north on Atsugi-kaido, then turn left at the point where it makes a sharp right turn east. Immediately turn right onto the city road (there's a stone statue of Fudo Myo-o at the foot of the electric pole on the lower right). Continue north, and you'll see the Aruka Shrine torii gate straight ahead. From Ebina Station, the west side of the station is currently under redevelopment, so road information is incomplete, so I can't go into detail. Head southwest toward the Kamigo-minami intersection, follow the rice paddy path, and when you reach this intersection (where Gyoza no Osho is located), cross the crosswalk and turn left. Turn left into any alleyway on the right into a residential area, and you'll find San'o Mihashira Shrine (uninhabited and lonely, with Mitsumine Shrine), which serves as Aruka Shrine's secondary shrine. Ask a local, "Where is Aruka Shrine?" and they'll tell you, "It's right there (be sure to look carefully in the direction they're pointing)." It's directly behind Aruka Elementary School, so anyone heading toward the back of the school will get you there. If you're driving, take the Tomei Expressway off the Ebina Interchange, turn left onto Atsugi-kaido, and go under the Odakyu Line Atsugi Station overpass to reach the shrine. The shrine grounds are reasonably spacious, and parking is available from the east side. The main shrine building faces south with its back to the north. Entering the main approach, on the left, you'll find a bell tower (which appears to be able to be struck) and a shrine hall (with a portable shrine storehouse on the left and a gift shop on the right for when there are many visitors). The gift shop is located in the shrine office building, and a sample board of talismans and amulets is displayed in front of the entrance. The dense forest to the north of the main shrine building keeps mosquitoes out, so the entrance is usually kept closed. However, when no one is there, there's a doorbell; if you ring it, a priest or someone will appear from nowhere to assist you. All the offerings are displayed on a wheeled cart in front of the entrance, so if you see one, it means someone is there, so just call. Around the Sanshinden hall, there are already pandas everywhere. The panda costumes (two males and two females, with other hidden characters) that used to frequently wander the grounds are now enshrined on a raised platform just inside the shrine office entrance. This shrine is of high status, and since the Age of the Gods (before the Jomon period), this area was known as Arukago and was a paradise. This was around the time the Sagami pillow word "Sanesashi" was created. Even today, there are wells and ponds in the surrounding area bearing the name Aruka, from which spring pure water. However, the connection between this history and the reverence for pandas is unclear, so it's probably best not to delve too deeply into it. However, using a panda as a character was a great idea, and the only amulets with panda illustrations are those found at Ueno Toshogu Shrine, Kumano Sansho Shrine in Wakayama, and this Aruka Shrine. (I know about Ueno and Wakayama, but the connections are unclear.) The panda votive plaques and goshuincho (stamp book) are also original. The bell tower, too, was not part of any particular syncretism with this shrine; it was a bell donated purely by a devout parishioner, and is a rare palace bell that remains in the original casting form of Aruka Shrine. (Original) 有鹿(あるか)神社,と読みます。かなり以前から気になっていたんですけど、地理的にややこしい場所にありまして、最寄り駅は小田急線(JR相模線)の海老名駅なんですが、位置としてはどちらかとゆうと、相模線側の海老名駅を西口に降りたところから向かって行けます。ただ、道が最後のほうで複雑になるので、分かりやすく行くとすると、一つ下った「厚木駅(これも小田急線とJR相模線)」からのほうが道は分かりやすいかもしれません。タクシーは相模線海老名駅の西側にたいてい１台は停まってます。厚木駅のほうには目ぼしいタクシー乗り場はありません。道さえ間違わなければ、海老名駅のほうがほんのちょっとだけ(数分の差だけど)近いはずです。厚木駅は、降りたら厚木街道をひたすら北へ進み、これが大きく東へ右カーブするところで、左に曲がります。そしたらすぐに市道を右折(右下の電柱足元にお不動様の石仏があります)、曲がったらそのまま道なりに北へ進めば正面に有鹿様の鳥居が見えてきます。海老名駅からだと今は西側駅前再開発中で、不完全な道路情報になってしまうので、詳述できませんが、上郷南(かみごうみなみ)の交差点を目指して、南西方向へ田んぼの畦道を進み、この交叉点(餃子の王将あり)に出たら横断歩道を渡って左折、どこでもいいから右側の住宅地へ入る路地に入り、有鹿さんの兼務社である三王三柱神社(さんおうみはしらじんじゃ/無人・寂しい/三峯さまあり)を見つけて、近所の人に「有鹿さんどこですか?」と尋ねれば、「すぐそこ(この時、指さす方向をよく見ておくこと)」と教えてくれます。有鹿小学校の真裏なので、学校裏を目指して行けば誰でも着きます。クルマの方は、東名分岐して海老名IC降りて厚木街道を左へ北折、小田急線厚木駅の高架下をくぐって進めば着きます。境内はほどほどに広く、東側から駐車スペースへ入れます。社殿は北を背に南面して建てられており、正面参道を入って、左手になぜか神社なのに鐘楼(鐘は突けるようになってるみたいです)、参心殿(左に神輿庫・右に多客時授与所)が並び建っています。授与所は社務所の棟にありまして、玄関前に、お札とお守りのサンプルボードが置いてあります。ふだんは、社殿の北後背が鬱蒼とした森なので、蚊が入って来るから玄関はマメに閉められていますが、どなたもいないときは、ピンポンありますから押せばどこからともなく神職さんなど出て来てくれますので、応対してくれます。授与品はどれもキャスター付きワゴンで玄関前に出してありますから、これが出ているとゆうことは、どなたかいるわけなので、呼んでみてください。参心殿あたりから、もぅパンダだらけで、さすがに以前はよく境内をウロウロするほどだったパンダの着ぐるみは(♂♀２頭いる/ほかにも隠しキャラあり)、社務所玄関入ったところの小上がりに鎮座。このお社の社格は高く、神代過ぎてすぐの頃辺り(縄文よりも前)から、このへんは有鹿郷と呼ばれて、楽園だったそうです。相模の枕詞「さねさし」創生のころですね。いまでも近郷には有鹿を冠する井戸や池があって、清水が湧き出ているのだそうです。しかしながら、この由緒とパンダの崇敬の連関は不明で、あまり詮索しないほうがいいみたい。ただ、パンダをキャラにしたのは大正解で、パンダイラストのお守りは、上野東照宮と和歌山の熊野三所神社と、この有鹿さまだけです。(上野と和歌山は分かるんだけど)結びつきは不明です。パンダ絵馬や御朱印帳もオリジナルであります。鐘楼も、とりわけこのお宮に習合の経緯があったわけではなく、純粋な崇敬氏子の寄進による鐘で、有鹿神社と鋳造されたままの珍しい宮鐘です。

(Translated by Google) I'd visited this shrine before because it had a strong reputation for being historic and prestigious. There's a parking lot, but there are a lot of cars speeding on the back streets. It's best to be careful. I thought it would be staffed since they advertised it so much, but it was empty, even in the morning. There were signs indicating its location posted at the entrance and in the shrine office, but there was no response when I rang the intercom... It's really scary to think of a panda in an empty shrine. It's not a deer, is it? I wondered if there was something going on since they didn't mention deer. I wasn't sure whether they would write the goshuin stamp for me, so I left feeling a bit confused. (Original) 歴史のある神社で、格式も高いというアピールが強かったので以前伺いました。 駐車場ありますが、裏道でかなりスピード飛ばしている車が多いです。気をつけた方が良いです。 こんなにPRしているなら、有人かと思いましたが午前中にも関わらず無人。 玄関や社務所？に居場所が貼ってあるような事が書いてありましたが、インターホン鳴らしても反応なし…… パンダが無人の神社の中にいるのが本当に怖いです 鹿じゃないんですよね 鹿について触れていないあたり何かあるのかなと思いました。 御朱印も直書きしてくれるタイミングがあるのか無いのかも分からずもやもやして後にしました。

Peaceful ☺️

(Translated by Google) Go north on Sugikubo-Zama Street, and Yayoi's approach is on the right before the Odakyu Odawara Line railroad crossing. Go through the approach and go up about 10 steps to the shrine office, and then go up another 20 steps to the worship hall. Do people who are not confident in their legs and knees need a companion? It is a quiet and clean shrine. The Goshuin was a simple and beautiful Goshuin. (Original) 杉久保座間通りを北上、小田急小田原線踏切手前の右手が弥生さんの参道。参道抜けて10段ほど上ると社務所、さらに20段ほど上ると拝殿。足腰に自信のない方はおつきが必要かな？静かで、こぎれいな神社です。御朱印はシンプルでキレイな御朱印でした。

(Translated by Google) It is located on a small hill just below Kiyomizu-dera Park and Ryūho-ji Temple. Originally, you would have to pass through a torii gate from the bottom and climb a long staircase, but I went in from Ryūhoji Temple and had an easier time. There is a shrine office in the middle of the stairs, and a god is further up. This time I received a hand-written goshuin, but it seems that you can also make your own goshuin book, so I would like to participate if I have a chance. You can see the city from the main shrine, so I sat on a bench for a while and looked at the view while drinking water. (Original) 小高い丘の上で清水寺公園と龍峰寺のすぐ下にあります。本来は下から鳥居をくぐって長い階段を登ってくるのですが、自分は龍峰寺から入って楽をしました。 階段の途中に社務所、さらに上に神様がいらっしゃいます。 今回は直書きの御朱印をいただきましたが、オリジナルの御朱印帳も作れるようで機会があったら参加してみたいです。 本殿のところからは街が見渡せるので、給水しながらしばらくベンチに座って眺めてました。

(Translated by Google) It seems that there is no water in the chozuya, so you have to twist the lever to purify yourself by pouring out a trickle of water. I have visited several shrines in the neighborhood, but this one is the only one I've visited (and it's on a holiday). I didn't feel any energy in the precincts either, and it felt dull. Ryūho-ji Temple, located just above the temple, is well-maintained and has a pleasant atmosphere, so I would like to see Yayoi Shrine do its best as the guardian deity of Ebina City for the further development of Ebina City. (Original) 手水舎に水が溜まっていなくレバーを自分で捻ってチョロチョロと水を出し清めるようです。近隣の神社にいくつか参拝していますが、こんなところ弥生神社だけです（しかも休日）。境内も（私は）エネルギーを感じることもなく、くすんだ感じでした。すぐ上にある龍峰寺は管理が行き届いており気持ちの良いところなので弥生神社にも海老名市の氏神様として海老名市の更なる発展のために頑張ってもらいたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I felt that Kokubunji and Kokubun nunnery were lacking. If that's the case, I'll take the initiative to become a guardian. Although the stone steps are unexpectedly steep, the view from the main shrine is good. There is an ordinary guardian. (Original) 国分寺、国分尼寺に不足を感じた。ならばと鎮守へと舵を取る。思いの外の急な石段だが、本殿からの眺望は良い。普通の鎮守様てある。

(Translated by Google) I heard that the amulets for safe childbirth were cute, so I went to pray at the shrine in the afternoon, but there was no one there and I couldn't buy one. I went again at around 3 p.m., but there was no one at the shrine office and I couldn't buy one. I was disappointed that there were days when you couldn't buy amulets... I guess I was just not meant to be. (Original) 安産祈願のお守りが、可愛いとの情報がありお昼過ぎに参拝へ行きましたが誰もいらっしゃらずお守りを購入出来ずもう一度15時頃行きましたが社務所に誰もいらっしゃらず購入出来ませんでした。お守りが、購入出来ない日があるなんて…ご縁がなかったのかと残念でした、

good park with lot of sunlight,sand pit slides and sitting area for eating and relaxing

(Translated by Google) This park is located in a corner of a residential area, and has several large trees that make it look impressive. The park had a complex play equipment for children, as well as tables and benches. (Original) 住宅街の一角にある公園で、数本の大きな木が印象的です。公園内には子供向けの複合遊具やテーブルとベンチがありました。

(Translated by Google) It was a park with a sense of history, with stone monuments telling the story of its ties to the Oshima family and giant trees that looked like they were over 100 years old. Even though it was the off-season, there were plenty of acorns in the park, which excited the children. At the end, the children went back and forth endlessly on the playground equipment, which consisted of large and small slides connected by V-shaped metal bridges, which was a lot of fun. (Original) 大島家との由縁を伝える石碑や樹齢100年クラスにみえる巨木など歴史を感じる公園でした。 園内にはオフシーズンにも関わらずドングリが豊富に落ちていて子供は興奮。最後は大小の滑り台がV字断面の金属橋で接続された遊具をエンドレス行ったり来たり、遊びごたえ十分でした。

(Translated by Google) In the fall, there are a lot of acorns falling, so it's suitable for young children. There is a sandbox, but no hand washing area. (Original) 秋になるとどんぐりがたくさん落ちてるので、幼児向きです。砂場はありますが手洗い場はありません。

(Translated by Google) This is a park that has been close to me since I was a child. It's changed a lot, but it's basically a normal park. (Original) 幼少の頃から身近にある公園です。大分様変わりしましたが、基本的にごく普通の公園。

(Translated by Google) I went for a walk. I ate lunch at the park. (Original) お散歩に行きました。公園で、お弁当食べました。

(Translated by Google) There is only a slide and a sandbox, but it seems like it would be fun for kids. However, there is no parking lot. (Original) すべり台と砂場しかありませんが子供的には楽しそうです。ただし、駐車場はありません。

(Translated by Google) It looks like a ruin, but it's actually an ordinary plaza paved with bricks that looks like a stage. (Original) 遺跡らしいが実際にはレンガで舗装された舞台のようになっている普通の広場。

(Translated by Google) A well-maintained park with nothing special in the middle of a residential area. It's full of greenery so it's soothing. Small children will be happy because there are many acorns falling. It's easy to access as the bus stop is right in front of it. (Original) 住宅街の中にポンとある特に何もない整備された公園。緑豊かなので癒やされます。 ドングリがたくさん落ちているので小さい子は喜びます。バス停が目の前なのでアクセスもよいです。

(Translated by Google) There is a garbage stop nearby for work. I have never been to Hamada Historical Park, but it has a lot of greenery. (Original) 仕事でゴミ停が近くにあります。浜田歴史公園には行ったことはありませんが緑も多いですよ。

(Translated by Google) There is no play equipment, so this park is more suitable for adults than children. Calm down. (Original) 遊具が無いので、子供より大人向きの公園。落ち着きます。
