Toyosaka Inari Shrine, 800 years old, near Shibuya Station

It is located near Shibuya Station.
Although it is located next to Konno Hachimangu, it is a sanctuary with a completely different atmosphere.
On the right side of the entrance, there is a Koshinto (the pagoda of the 57th day of the sexagenary cycle) welcoming worshippers.

（The Kushin Pagoda is a pagoda that welcomes worshippers.)
On the day of Koushin, which comes around every 61 days, people in the neighborhood would gather together to hold a Buddhist service and spend the night eating, drinking, and laughing, forgetting their daily toil.
After the Kushinto, which was held six times a year, or 18 times in three years, the people would give more food and other offerings than usual, build a mound, and erect a pagoda to make a grand memorial service. It is like a monument of faith. It can be said to be a monument that preserves the spirit of the ancestors of the Edo period.

The Inari-sama of shrines has been called by many names over the years.
Inari-sama at the shrine was called "Inari outside the moat" because it was located outside the moat of Shibuya Castle.
Tanaka Inari" because it was located in a rice field
Kawabata Inari" because it was located near the Shibuya River.

In the Showa period (1926-1989), Toyosawa Inari (former residence of the Kyogoku family in Sarugaku-cho) and many other Inari shrines in the area were combined and enshrined together.

Although it is impossible to talk with people from the past, you can feel the atmosphere of the times through the shrine, making it an enjoyable sanctuary.
Please come and experience it for yourself.
