In late October, the new shrine hall of Fukutoku-jinja Shrine (also known as Mebuki-jinja Shrine), which has a history of more than 1,100 years as the guardian of Nihonbashimuromachi, was completed.
This Fukutoku Shrine is a venerable shrine that is said to have been worshiped by warlords such as Yoshiie Minamotono and Michio Ota in the old days, and Ieyasu Tokugawa and Hidetada also visited the shrine. In the Edo period, there was also a lot of wealthy lottery authorized by the Shogunate. It is said that the origin of Mebuki Shrine, another name, is due to the emergence of young buds in the torii of Nukugi trees.
Despite being a shrine with such a history, he has been relocated many times, and in the reform of Tenpo, he was in danger of dismantling.
This time, the restored Inari Shrine with east Asian hip-and-gable roof front back and staggered gable has a beautiful brand-new copper-plated roof, and is made of steel, but cypress wood is used in the parts visible from the table.
“COREDO Muromachi” and “YUITO” building streets will be a new spot in Nihonbashi.
