Funairi Horiguchi in Hatchobori, the gunpowder Inari Shrine, which was called Minato Inari because it was located at the port (= Minato) where ships from various countries enter and exit.

The major renovation of Heisei began after the consecutive holidays in November. The construction period will be until March 2017, including the demolition and removal of shrine office, the construction of a shrine building, and the renovation and restoration of Fujizuka. The shrine grounds have already been separated by white partition walls, and construction-related vehicles enter the spacious courtyard, and you cannot enter and exit from the front entrance.

Therefore, during this time, you will not be able to see the Fujizuka, Baidu and Rikiishi on the precincts of the shrine, but you will be able to enter and exit from the entrance of the gunshot Children's Park side, and you will be able to visit the main hall at night.

The company office has already carried out luggage inside and the demolition of the building has begun. This shrine office was a very quaint wooden building built in 1937, so it is a bit disappointing that it will be dismantled and removed, but the history of the eternal gunshot Inari Shrine for 1180 years (841 AD) It will be unavoidable from the perspective of the foundation). As mentioned above, Tepposu Inari Shrine was located in Inaribashi Higashizume (currently near Sakurabashi No. 2 Pump Station) in the Edo period, but Tsukiji foreign settlement was established in the first year of the Meiji era (1868). Has relocated to its current location.

With this renovation, shrine office will be reborn as a reinforced concrete (RC) hall after construction. It seems that the design of the east Asian hip-and-gable roof with a tasteful copper-plated roof will disappear (see the figure below), but it will be a necessary update to convey the cultural properties representing the Minato area to the future.

In addition, since the construction will last about one year and four months, during that time, I am worried that events such as "Misogi" held on the second Sunday of January every year will be held as usual, but about this ( Although it has not yet been officially decided), it will be held at the adjacent Gunsu Children's Park. It seems quite cold because it is not a shrine precinct surrounded by a wall but a plaza with a blowing. Please do your best!
