三島大社は歴史の古い神社で、758年(天平宝字2年)の資料に「伊豆三島神」という表記があるそうです。
北条政子が献上した梅蒔絵(うめまきえ)手箱や、源頼家の自筆の書などがあり、見る価値の高い展示が多くありました。

Mishima-Taisha Shrine is an old shrine. A written record, issued in 758, mentions Mishima-Taisha Shrine.
Mishima Shrine has been well worshiped because of it's traditional history. HOJYO Masako (1157 - 1225), who was the legal wife of MINAMOTO-NO Yoritomo (1123 - 1160), the first "Shogun" in the Kamakura Age (1185 - 1333), dedicated the "Ume Makie-Tebako", the cosmetic box with gold lacquer of Japanese apricot flowers. The "Ume Makie-Tebako"was designated as a national treasure of Japan.


The Torii-Gate of Mishima-Taisha Shrine is located on the former Tokaido-Road.



After passing throught the Torii-gate, you will arrive at the "Somon" Gate, the main gate. The "Somon" Gate was rebuilt in 1931, after the former main gate was damaged by the earthquake happened in 1930. The Imperial chrysanthemum crests printed on the gate curtain tell high formality.



Then, you will see the "Shinmon" Gate. It was built in 1867. 
The decoration of the gate is very gorgeous.
