Shinagawa Jinja Shrine

4.0

This shrine in the Kita-Shinagawa district of Tokyo’s Shinagawa City is one of 10 Tokyo shrines where prayers are offered for the protection of Tokyo and people’s peace and security, and it enshrines Daikokuten (the god of wealth) who is one of the Tokai Shichifukujin (seven gods of fortune). The shrine was established by shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo in 1187 to enshrine Amenohirinome-no-Mikoto, the guardian deity for safety at sea and for answering of prayers. On the premises are many sights to see such as the soryu torii gate with sculptures of soryu dragons (with a dragon climbing on the left pillar and a dragon descending on the right pillar), and the ichiryumanbai spring where legend has it that washing money with the water and then subsequently using that money will enable one to receive substantially more money in return.

新馬場駅のすぐ近くにある、小高い丘の上に設けられた神社です。京急線に乗車し西側の車窓を見ていると必ず目につきます。とりわけ絢爛豪華な神社ではなく、住宅街に囲まれていることもあり、初詣や祭りの時期等を除けば参拝者も少なく、ひっそりとしています。東側にある鳥居には見事な龍の彫刻が施され、堂々とした佇まいを見ることが出来ます。鳥居から拝殿に向かう際の階段がかなり急となっていますので、必要に応じて手摺を...
