Although located next to Konno Hachimangu, this sanctuary has a completely different atmosphere.
On the right side of the entrance, the Koshin Pagoda welcomes worshippers.

(Koshin worship).
On the day of renewal, which comes around every 61 days, people in the neighborhood would gather together and spend the night to eat, drink, and laugh, forgetting about their daily hardships.
After the completion of six visits a year or 18 visits in three years, they gave more food and other offerings than usual and built a mound and a pagoda to make a grand memorial service for the deceased. It is like a monument of faith. It can be said that it is a monument that preserves the spirit of the ancestors in the Edo period.

The Inari of Toyosaka Inari Shrine is located outside the moat of Shibuya Castle.

Tanaka Inari" because it was located in a rice field

If you are interested in learning more about shrines and temples, please write to us with your questions. There are shrines everywhere in Japan. Akihabara in Tokyo is famous for its electric town, but there are shrines even in its back alleys.

I hope that when people from other countries visit Japan, they will feel the sanctity of shrines and clear their minds.

I am not an expert, but I would like to answer questions as I learn more myself. Once I have some of the questions finalized, I will put them on video. Please write to me.
