As I posted earlier, the photo of Asahi Inari Shrine (Ginza 3-8-12) was not uploaded, so I will list it again independently.
As for Asahi Inari Shrine, as described on page 51 in the Monoshiri Encyclopedia, visits to worship hall on the ground are designed to reach main hall on the roof of the building through pipes.
Asahi Inari Shrine's Engi
"Asahi Inari Shrine has been enshrined here since ancient times, has been deeply worshiped as a guardian deity, and has attracted distant reverence. However, since the collapse of shrine hall by the major earthquake of Ansei and the death of Sansankenbori, the shrine was devastated and scattered near the wanders.
In 1917, the spirit became apparent from Sanju-bori by the Great Kaisho that hit Ginza, and Tateoka, the architect, served here, but was forced to relocate due to the Great Kanto Earthquake, and the shrine was relocated to the Ginza Sanchome Town Association. It was a place to serve. All the worshipers in the town feared the god of religion and tried to serve as guardian angel in the town, but at that time the company land was incorporated into Tokyo-owned land and was governed by Tokyo City. The reverence of 3-chome visited the assistant of Tokyo City at the time and asked for Shimotsuki of the company grounds, but did not come true. However, with the permission of the use of the land, the shrine was erected and the company land was prepared. The first day was celebrated grandly, and the fair gathered many people in the same way as guardian of children and travelers's success in 4-chome. As such a guardian deity in the town, shrine hall all returned to Karasuari because of the war.
After the war, shrine hall was rebuilt and became a religious corporation Asahi Inari Shrine in 1952. Since then, he has been rehabilitated by the Sanchome Neighborhood Association, and his deity has become even more widespread and has given protection to those who believe.
In 1983, along with the renovation of the neighboring Ohiro Building, we started building a joint building. The first and second floors of a part of the building were worship hall and main hall was laid on the roof, but the pipes were designed to connect to the earth and reach worship hallmain hall. It became a shrine suitable for the land of Ginza ahead of the times.
Every year at the first noon, the festival is held grandly, and at the time of the Great Ginza Festival, it attracts the reverence of many people, not just Ginza 3-chome, as a billboard for visiting Ginza Hatcho Shrine.
It is not only prosperous as a god of commerce, but also has no fire since he was enshrined here, and there is no danger of marriage and harmony in the house.
