Hatsune Mori Shrine

[O'age] January 23, 2017 18:00

I visited Hatsune Mori Shrine, which has been worshiped as a god of business prosperity enshrined in Japan's No. 1 textile wholesaler district, a local god (the guardian of Bakurocho, Yokoyamacho, and Higashinihombashi). On the first floor, there are gateposts of Asakusa Gomon excavated during the construction of the Sobu Express Line. Below, "P95-96 of Monoshiri Encyclopedia".

 

Hatsune Mori Shrine
The shrine built in the building was founded in the Kamakura period.
It was said to have been founded in the Kamakura period, and was enshrined here, but when building a county mansion near the current Bakurocho, it was relocated to the headquarters (now Sumida-ku) opposite the Sumida River. Rebuilt in 1948 (1948), main hall is built on the second floor of the building and has a torii gate in front of the building. (Higashibashi 2-27-9)
