This is a map issued in 1861 (1861). There is Hodo Inari Shrine in this area since the Edo period.

 

You can see Yazaemon-cho in the place of the arrow. It's around the current Namiki-dori St. It is a shrine that was enshrined in Edo Castle to protect the growth of the successor of the Shogun family during the Edo period when the Inari religion was thriving. It is said that Yazaemon, the guardian of the temple, was built in response to the deity of divine spirit.

In addition, Yazaemon placed his residence here and served as a talisman for Inari throughout his life. Therefore, it came to be called Yazaemon-cho.

 

Hodo Inari Shrine is still gaining a strong religion as a shrine that gives good luck in prayer for child treasures and thriving business.


Why don't you visit the shop in Ginza?

It's Hodo Inari Shrine.

The file Omikuji is elaborate. It's a souvenir.

Of course, it can be used as a file.

 

It's a very hard-to-understand place.

Turn left at Harumi-dori St. toward Tsukiji, turn left at the Ginza Tensho Domae angel and turn left at about 50 meters.
