Nihonbashi Shichifukujin is located in the vicinity of Tokyo Metro's Suitengumae Station, Ningyocho Station, Kodemmacho Station, and Hamacho Station on the Toei Subway, and if you do your best, you can tour Seven Lucky Gods in an hour. Among them is Kasama Inari Shrine Tokyo Bessha. If you have studied the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification, you know well. It's impressive because it's a long name with 10 characters. It was built at its current location in 1859 in the late Edo period as a branch of Kasama Inari Shrine (Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture).
The other day, when I happened to drive in Ibaraki Prefecture, "Kasama Inari Shrine" was displayed on the car navigation system, so this is that! I stopped by in a hurry. It was founded in 651 and is one of the three largest Inari shrines in Japan. It was a very impressive space with a solemn atmosphere, a large shrine, and Nakamise. new year worshipping is coming soon, but many worshiper will come.
