It's Shintomi Inari Shrine, a small Inari shrine in Shintomi 2-chome.
On the street between Shin-ohashi-dori St. and Heisei-dori, facing the road in the office district, ginkgo trees and vermilion torii gates exist as if they were in a different space.
Nowadays, there is a sense of discomfort to be there, but even after the Meiji Restoration, the area around here seems to have been Tsuijishin Shimabara Yukaku, and it seems that it was a shrine in the Yukaku.
Also, if you look at the Chozuya in the precincts, Chozubachi and the flat roof of the roof have the name of Mitsugoro Bando, the dedication of Kabuki actors is probably due to the fact that this area was a play town.
The relationship between Inari and Mitsugoro Bando was that Kanya Morita, the 12th generation of Kabuki actor Kanya Morita, relocated a playhouse here at Morita-za in Sarugakucho, Asakusa during the Meiji era, and took the place name. It seems that it was the beginning that it was the beginning of Shintomi-za, and the son of Kanjiro Bando, the seventh generation, was the third generation.
By the way, the family crest of Chozubachi is "Mitsudai",
the family crest of Yamatoya of the Mitsugoro Bando family.
In this scorching sun
, we never recommend a stroll during the daytime, but at night
, if there is a little wind
, I think it would be good to stroll
around Shintomi (but still hot
).
