Japan Bridge Hie Shrine
日本橋日枝神社About 400 years ago, in the eighteenth year of Tensho (1590), Prince Tokugawa Ieyasu entered Edo Castle and revered Hieda Ōkami, and since then, the shrine has been enshrined by boat to the "Hatchobori Kitashima (Armor Island) Shrine" where the inn is located.
In Volume 2 of the "Edo Meisho Zukai" published in the twelfth year of Kansei (1800), it is depicted that the shrine of Yamano Gongen, owned by the Shinto lord Kishita, and the shrine of Yamano Gongen, owned by the Besto Kanri-in, were built side by side. On the occasion of the Sanno Festival on June 15 every other year, a temporary hall was set up in front of these two shrines, and there was a dedication procession centered on three mikoshi from the head office in Nagatanobaba and it is said that it was indeed the first major shrine in Oedo and spectacular.
In addition to Tenmangu Shrine, Inari Shrine, and Asama Shrine, Yakushi-do and Enma-do, which are considered to be the "main place (Buddha figure)" of the mountain king, were also built in the precincts, and fairs and sumo wrestling were also held.
In the first year of the Meiji Era (1868), the grounds of Yakushi-do and Dobetsu Tochisen-in were separated from the precincts due to the Separation of Shinto and Buddhist Shrines, which had been enshrined together until then. In the 10th year of the Meiji Era (1877), the Sannomiya Palace was renamed Mukusha Hie Shrine, and in the fourth year of the Taisho era, it was renamed Setsha Hie Shrine with the promotion of the head office (Nagata-cho, Chiyoda-ku) to the official shrine.
In the third year of the Showa era, the precincts of the shrine (Kitano Shrine, Inari Shrine, and Asama Shrine) were enshrined. It was damaged by the Tokyo Air Raid in March 20, but in Heisei 22, exterior work was carried out on the dilapidated shrine and it continues to this day.
