It's about Halloween! What are the spots related to Kaidan?
Hello, my name is Hanes.
It was at the end of October, but there are still hot days when the temperature rises quite well.
Due to the heat measures and Halloween approaching, this time we will introduce spots related to Kaidan in Chuo-ku.
This time, I headed to Oiwa Inari Tamiya Shrine (2-25-11 Shinkawa, Chuo-ku).
As you may have noticed from that name, it is a shrine related to Iwa-san in Yotsuya Kaidan.
When it comes to "Yotsuya Kaidan", people tend to think of Yotsuya, Shinjuku-ku, but the materials distributed at this shrine (Source: Aoyagi Kishino, "Walking when I'm a Mystery in Tokyo-The Benefits of the Tokyo metropolitan area to visit on foot"), provided the following explanation.
The time was after the Meiji era. The place is Shinkawa, Chuo-ku.
From Sadanji Ichikawa, who worked on "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan" and said to be the best dish in the world, "It's too far to go to Yotsuya every time. shrine hall was burned down by a fire in Yotsuya Samoncho in 1879 and moved to the site of the Tamiya family on the banks of the Sumida River.
That is the current Oiwa Inari Shrine in Shinkawa, Chuo-ku, which is exactly the same as the Inari Shrine in Yotsuya. The shrine hall of Shinkawa was burned down in the war in 1945 (1945), but after the war, the Inari Shrine in Yotsuya revived and there are now two Inari Shrines.
In the precincts, there is the oldest bado stone existing in Chuo-ku.
If you look at the left side, you can see that it is marked as "Osaka Naniwaza Kogyo Memorial 4th generation Udanji Ichikawa".
Here, he is dedicated to commemorate the rock and has been designated as a ward private folk cultural property.
It is located a little away from sightseeing spots such as Ginza, Tsukiji and Nihonbashi, but when you come close, why not stop by this spot related to Kaidan?
