Oiwa Inari Tamiya Shrine Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Yotsuya Yuiwa Hetian Palace Shrine is located in Shinjuku, Japan, and it enshrines the "Tokaido Yotsuya Bizarre Story". Although it is Oiwa's, the image is a bit scary. The whole building is not large in scale, but it is exquisite, simple and elegant, and full of history. Here you can pray for the peace talisman to bless you with peace and prosperity.

It is located in a quiet residential area of ５ minutes walk from Yotsuya Sanchome Station on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line, and diagonally across the road is a marriage temple called "Oiwa Inari Younji". What I learned here is that the story of Oiwa and the actual Oiwa were different, and it was said that he was a good wife and wise mother who supported the Tamiya family, which had been falling, and was a good wife and a good mother. ...

About 5 minutes walk from Yotsuya Sanchome Station. The year of its founding is unknown. The shrine of Inari God, which was originally enshrined as the residence god of the Tamiya family. Tamiya is the surname of "Oiwa-san" in Yotsuya Kaidan. After the fire in 1879, he was relocated to Shinkawa, Chuo-ku at the recommendation of the first Sadanji Ichikawa, but was rebuilt here in 1952. The shrine is roofed with wooden copper plates. The deities are Toyokehime Okami and Tamiya Oiwa-san. Unlike the ghost story, the actual rock was a married couple.
