Fukiage Inari Shrine

(From the precinct bulletin board "Fukiage Inari God Abbreviation") In the eighth year of Genwa (1622), Tokugawa Hidetada was crowned with the divine body of Inari Ōkami from Mt. Nikko in Shimono Province, and called it "Higashi Inari Palace" in the Fukiage Palace of Edo Castle, and as the god of wild food from the Umikawa Mountains, it was revered and worshipped by the shogunate, and the samurai princes had a strong faith. Later, from the Tokugawa family to the Matsudaira University head family, a branch of the Mito family, and in 1751, as the guardian deity of the people of Otsuka Village, it was moved to the current Koishikawa 4-chome, and was revered by many people and had a strong faith in the samurai family. At this time, it was enshrined in the Fukiage Palace in Edo Castle, and was renamed Fukiage Inari Shrine. After that, it moved from Gokokuji Gekkoden to Otsukakami Town, then to Otsukanaka Town, and in Meiji 45 (1912), it was relocated to Otsukazaka Shitamachi (current location) and continues to this day.
