[Yanokura Inari Shrine/Tokyo] A shrine that protects the rice storehouses of Nihonbashi

Yanokuro Inari Shrine in Chuo Ward, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 During the Edo period, the area was called Taninokura or Yanokura because a rice storehouse of the shogunate was built nearby. It is said that Sansha Inari Shrine, which enshrined three shrines, was enshrined as the guardian deity of the storehouse. In 1698, the storehouse was relocated. Although Sansha Inari was also relocated, local residents were sad to see it go, so Shinzaemon Inari and Fukutomi Inari were enshrined at Hatsunemori Shrine, and Taninokura Inari was renamed Yanokuro Inari and enshrined in the same place. The shrine is enshrined around the back of Yagenbori Fudoin Temple. On the left is Yagenbori Fudoin Temple's believers' hall. The site is small, but has stone walls, a vermilion-painted torii gate, and lush trees. Entering, there is a pair of stone statues of foxes in a small shrine. Upon closer inspection, the door to the shrine was open. There is a sign in the temple grounds saying that you can get a goshuin at Yagenbori Fudoin, so I went there later to receive one. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Yanokuri Inari Shrine ꕥAddress: 2 Higashinihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo ꕥAccess: 🚉 Higashinihonbashi Station → approx. 3-minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Shrines and temples #Visiting shrines #Visiting shrines #Lover of shrines
