“Funabashi Daijingu” and “Ohi Shrine” are the same shrine
Funabashi Daijingu that you see on maps and station information and Ohi Shrine on the official website are the same shrine. Since the shrine name has an unusual reading, you can avoid confusion by checking the location, 5-2-1 Miyamoto, when searching for directions.
The opening image overlays a goshuin received in 2014, while the article includes photographs from around the grounds. The calligraphy and red seals record that visit, rather than showing today's issuing methods or offerings.

The shrine asks visitors not to leave cars in its free car park while shopping elsewhere. At busy holiday times, check nearby paid parking and follow instructions within the grounds.
