As you know, Hie-jinja Shrine is one of the most traditional shrines in Tokyo. In other words, it has a history of originating from Mt. Hiei and has been revered since ancient times.
Kayabacho in Chuo-ku is home to the shrine of Hie-jinja Shrine. In the first place, an inn was set up in this area, and in the Edo period it prospered as a comprehensive place of worship in syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism. Now it seems to be quietly standing in the valley of the building, but it will be particularly lively during the Sanno Festival.
The other day, when I visited Hie-jinja Shrine in Nagata-cho, Chiyoda-ku, what is the word "Denma-cho" on the pedestal of komainu? "Minami Temmacho" is now no longer the name of the town and is incorporated into a part of Kyobashi, but in the Edo era it was used to be called "Mitemmacho" along with Otemmacho and Kodemmacho. It is an important position in the history of Chuo-ku.
Later, Akasaka also said that "Akasaka Temmacho" was set up in the form attached to "Mitemmacho" in Chuo-ku, so there may have been various connections.
It was a time to get a glimpse of a part of the history of Chuo-ku in other wards.
