[Tokyo/Yasaki Inari Shrine] A shrine where you can see a ceiling painting of equestrianism

Founded in 1642. Tokugawa Iemitsu built the hall on its current site in Asakusa, modelled on the Sanjusangendo in Kyoto, with the aim of promoting martial arts. Later, Inari Daimyojin was enshrined as the guardian deity of the hall. The name "Yasaki" came from the fact that "Toshiya" (a game of archery) was performed in the hallway of the hall, and there was a shrine at the end of the target. One thing to pay attention to is the "Ceiling Ema" (Ema) on the ceiling of the shrine building. It is dotted with paintings of famous people on horseback. At the request of the parishioners, Ebine Sundou, who had a deep interest in archery, donated a painting of equestrianism. Currently, you can tour the inside of the shrine building. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Yasaki Inari Shrine 🚉Inaricho Station → →🚶‍♀️About 9 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Yasaki Inari Shrine #Shrine Tour #Tokyo Trip #Tokyo Sightseeing
