Yuzuruha Shrine is a traditional Japanese shrine with a history rooted in honoring a three-legged crow, a sacred messenger animal associated with the Japan Football Association. In recent years, the shrine has gained significant attention from fans of figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu, due to the phonetic similarity between the shrine's name and the skater's given name. This has led to a diversification of visitors, with the shrine now serving as a place of reverence for both sports communities. The shrine maintains its traditional religious practices alongside accommodating the influx of new devotees.
