[2025 Tokyo Attraction] Travel Guide for Yasakiinari Shrine (Updated Apr)

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

Yasaki Inari Shrine in Taito Ward, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 The third Tokugawa Shogun, Iemitsu, built Asakusa Sanjusangendo here. The shrine was founded when the Inari deity was enshrined as the guardian deity. Following the example of Kyoto, a "Toshiya" (a shooting game of arrows) was held, and the shrine was named "Yasaki Inari" because it was enshrined at the tip of the target. Cherry blossoms are blooming next to the torii gate and welcome you at the entrance! But the most beautiful thing is the weeping cherry tree next to the main shrine 🌸 The cherry blossom branches hang down so much that they cover the lion dogs. At the shrine, 100 "Japanese Horse Riding History" sheets are spread on the ceiling of the main shrine, and you can freely view them! 👉 Points of Yasaki Inari Shrine 🌸 Cherry blossoms beside the torii gate 🌸 Weeping cherry blossoms beside the shrine 🌸 100 ceiling paintings ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥ Shrine name: Yasaki Inari Shrine ꕥ Address: 2-14-1 Matsugaya, Taito-ku, Tokyo ꕥ Access 🚉 Inaricho Station → → About 10 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Sakura season #Weeping cherry blossoms #Shrine tour #Yasaki Inari Shrine
