Sotozan

Japanese: 走湯山 - そうとうざん

This is the ancient name of Izusan Shrine, located in Izusan, Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Izusan Shrine is also called Izusan Gongen and Hashiriyu Gongen. It is said to be the guardian deity of Atami Onsen, and there is a theory that this shrine is the Homusubi no Mikoto Shrine, which appears in the Engishiki Jinmyocho. It was once located on Mt. Higane (currently at Jikkoku Pass on the border between Atami City and Kannami Town, Shizuoka Prefecture), and later the shrine was moved to Mt. Higane, called the main shrine, the new location was called Nakamiya, and the current shrine, which was moved again, was called Shinmiya. It is said that it was around this time that the shrine began to be called Izusan Gongen and Hashiriyu Gongen. There is a hot spring called Hashiriyu near the coast below the shrine, and it is believed that the source of this shrine was the union of the fire god of Mt. Higane and the hot spring god of this area. In the early Heian period, the honji suijaku theory led to the belief that the honji buddha was Senju Kannon. The Kamakura shogunate especially revered it as Nisho Gongen along with Hakone Gongen (present-day Hakone Shrine in Hakone Town, Kanagawa Prefecture). In the early Kamakura period, Mitsugon-in, one of the sub-temples of Jinguji Tomyo-ji, inherited the position of betto, and the position was temporarily changed from a Shingon monk to a Tendai monk, but then became a Shingon monk again, and then Sanbo-in of Daigo-ji Temple in Yamashiro Province took on the role of betto. The entire temple was burned down during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Odawara campaign, but was rebuilt by Tokugawa Ieyasu. In the Edo period, the shrine's land (shuinchi) was 300 koku, and Hannya-in served as the betto. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism at the time of the Meiji Restoration, Hannya-in Temple was moved outside the precincts, where it remains to this day. In addition to the regular festivals, the temple also holds a bath offering ceremony.

静岡県熱海市伊豆山(いずさん)に鎮座する伊豆山神社の古名。伊豆山神社は伊豆山権現(ごんげん)・走湯(はしりゆ)権現ともいう。熱海温泉の守護神といわれ，《延喜式(えんぎしき)》神名(じんみょう)帳にみえる火牟須比命(ほむすびのみこと)神社を当社に比定する説がある。かつては日金(ひがね)山（現在の熱海市と静岡県函南(かんなみ)町の境の十国(じっこく)峠）にあり，のち社を移して日金山を本宮，遷座地を中宮，再度移転した現在の社を新宮と称し，この頃から伊豆山権現・走湯権現と呼ぶようになったという。神社下の海岸近くには走湯(はしりゆ)などと呼ばれる温泉があり，当社の源流は日金山の火の神とこの地の温泉神の結合にあったと考えられている。平安初期に本地垂迹(ほんじすいじゃく)説により，本地仏を千手(せんじゅ)観音とした。鎌倉幕府は箱根権現（現神奈川県箱根町の箱根神社）とともに二所(にしょ)権現として特に崇敬した。鎌倉初期に神宮寺の東明(とうみょう)寺の子院の一つ密厳(みつごん)院が別当職(しき)を相承，一時真言僧から天台僧に別当が変わったが，再び真言僧となり，ついで山城国醍醐(だいご)寺三宝(さんぼう)院が別当を兼帯した。豊臣秀吉による小田原征伐の際に，兵火にあって全山焼失したが，徳川家康が再建した。江戸時代の社領（朱印地）は300石，別当は般若院が務めた。明治維新時の神仏分離によって般若院は神域外に移転，現在に至る。例祭のほかに献湯祭などが行われる。
