Surrounded by 6 ginkgo trees in the immediate vicinity of my office,

In Chuo-ku, there is the only Ginkgo Inari-jinja Shrine dedicated to Hachimangu Shrine.

 

I was interested, and after a little investigation, I was able to find out the following.

History: Its foundation was scandalous, and the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 destroyed shrine hall.
　　　　enshrined deity was enshrined in the shrine in 1775, and at that time the precincts covered the sky.

　　　　There is a large ginkgo that rises soaring, and its tree is thought to be 3 to 400 years old.

　　　　It is thought that the shrine was founded before that.

　　　　In Chuo-ku, this Ginkgo Inari Shrine is the only shrine dedicated to Hachimangu Shrine.

　　　　In the Meiji era, the writer Junichirou Tanizaki enjoyed the Kagura of Ginkgo Yahata Shrine once a month.

　　　　It is written in “Childhood.”

 

Benefits: Ginkgo Inari Shrine is a god of business prosperity, from a securities company in nearby Kabuto-cho.

　　　　　I've been grateful.

　　　　　In addition, there are applications for donations from companies in other prefectures.

　　　　　It is also worshiped by residents shrine parishioner as the god of prosperity and longevity.

　　　　　A woman who lived nearby visited every day from a young age to a hundred years old, so she was healthy and healthy.
