Izusan Jinja (伊豆山神社) is a Shinto shrine in the city of Atami in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The shrine has been known by many names in its long history, including Soto Jinja (走湯神社). The shrine’s main festival is held annually on April 15. The primary kami of Izusan Jinja is the Izu Daigongen (伊豆大権現), an amalgamation of Honomusuhi-no-mikoto (火牟須比命), Izanagi (伊邪那伎命) and his consort Izanami (伊邪那美命) The volcanic springs and a geyser at Atami were regarded in ancient Japan as manifestations of the kami, and ancient records indicate that a shrine already existed here by 594 AD. The actual date of the shrine’s foundation is unknown, with shrine legend mentioning the semi-legendary Emperor Kōshō and Empress Suiko as possible candidates. The shrine legend also claims that it was appointed as an official shrine for prayers to the Imperial clan under Emperor Nintoku, Emperor Seinei, Emperor Bidatsu, Emperor Kōtoku and Emperor Go-Nara.
