Surrounded by six ginkgo trees in the immediate vicinity of my office

In Chuo-ku, there is Ginkgo Inari Shrine, the only shrine dedicated to Hachimangu Shrine.

I was interested, and after a little research, I was able to know the following:

History: The shrine hall was destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923.
　　　　It was in Ansei 4 (1775) that enshrined deity was enshrined in the shrine, covering the sky at that time.

　　　　There is a large ginkgo towering ginkgo, and its age was estimated to be 3 to 400 years.

　　　　It is thought that the shrine was built before that.

　　　　This ginkgo Inari Shrine is the only shrine dedicated to Hachimangu Shrine in Chuo-ku.

　　　　In the Meiji era, the literary writer Junichirou Tanizaki enjoyed once a month of the Kagura of Ginkgo Yahata Shrine.

　　　　I wrote it in "I'm a child."

Interest: Ginkgo Inari Shrine is a god of business prosperity from a nearby securities company in Kabuto-cho.

　　　　　Thank you very much.

　　　　　It is also said that there are applications for donations from companies in other prefectures.

　　　　　It is also worshiped by the residents of shrine parishioner as the god of prosperity and longevity.

　　　　　A woman living nearby visited every day from a young age to a hundred years old, so she was healthy and 103 years old.

　　　　　There is a real story that fulfills longevity.
