A quiet Shinto shrine in Shinkawa Daiei Inari Shrine

Shinkawa, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. Daiei Inari Shrine is located in a corner of Ophies Street, surrounded by the Nihonbashi River and the Kamejima River, in a back alley.

It is a neat shrine nestled in a quiet environment, with the noise of cars on Eitai-dori St., which has a lot of traffic.

According to the "Tokyo Shrine Directory,"

It seems to be said, "It occurs when the Kamejima River Reigishi Island was reclaimed in 1767."

According to the "Ofunai History Book", the area around "A" surrounded by red frame was reclaimed in 1727 and the area around "B" was reclaimed in 1765.

Probably, the shrine name book "Kamejima River Reigishijima" is around "A" and "B".

(There is a slight gap in the year, but is it a time lag for landfill and shrine construction?)

In addition, the "Tokyo Shrine Directory" shows the "Tokyo Shrine Directory".

"At the time of the transition, it occupied a corner of the Reigishi Bridge, and there were various portable shrines and Kakechaya nearby, and the shrine was very busy with the issuance of fortunes."

The "Ofunai History Book" also states that the "Ezochi Kaisho" was established later.
