Hodo Inari Shrine Monkey Protects the Hodo Inari Shrine Opens

[Silver] March 6, 2017 14:00

 From Harumi-dori St. on Ginza 4-chome, enter the corner of Tenshodo, enter the alley of Noboru Shinbashi-tei, a famous eel shop, and turn right, and "Hodo Inari Shrine" is enshrined.

In the Edo period, this area was called Yazaemon-cho. Even in Ginza, where a new building stands in the forest, many people come to visit the Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour at the end of October to receive vermilion seal stamp.

 Recently, when I came to visit this Hodo Inari Shrine, there was a new discovery. The approach to the shrine was completed. You can pass through. Hodo Inari Shrine is enshrined at the back of the monkey's approach.

 Last year, 2016 was the year of the monkey. Originally, as "the monkey is the angel of God," he sits like komainu in front of main hall at Hie-jinja Shrine and other places. Here, a monkey sits and greets you on the approach to the shrine. The official name is "Hodo Inari Shrine", but the artistic name of this street is "Enmusubi Sando". When you pass through, a pair of monkeys will welcome you.

It means that you will be connected to the rim. The person who was in charge of the design was Yoshi Gen Watanabe.

We pray that visitors to Ginza will be connected and happy, and that Hodo will be awarded. Silver

*Postscript: You can pass through the Sarui approach.
Immediately, people from the nearby Japanese syllabary and Pencil Museum are taking care of cleaning Inari.
