Visit Ginza Inari Shrine

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] January 26, 2019 18:00

The other day, fortunately, I was able to visit Ginza Inari Shrine, which is usually closed to the public. I hope everyone will see the state of the shrine.

 

Ginza Inari Shrine has been worshiping as a Inari in Ginza since the Edo period, as it can be found in the Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia, and thriving business. Currently, due to the progress of land development, it is enshrined on the roof of the Ginza Echigoya Building in Ginza 2-chome. You cannot visit the rooftop at stamp rally around Ginza Hatcho Shrine in AUTUMN GINZA, which is held from late October to early November.

The street where Inari-san was in the Edo period was called "Kanze Shindo", and there was a Noh Kanze-style mansion. Looking at the map of the late Edo period, it is specially written in inari and red. In everyday life, he would have joined hands on the street. It was a valuable experience to imagine the feelings of the people of Edo on a small lovely fox.
