Narita Shrine
穏田神社The founding of our company is uncertain, but it has been worshipped since ancient times as a god of the soil of this area, which was called Narita. In the 18th year of Tensho (1590), Tokugawa Ieyasu became the lord of Kanto, and the following year, the Iga people who followed Ieyasu were given this land of Peace. This is due to military achievements such as the "Iga Crossing" in which the Iga Shu led Ieyasu, who was in Kyoto at the time of the transformation of Honnoji Temple, to the East Country, where his life was threatened.
In the Edo period, which was the era of Shinto and Buddhist practice, the company was called the "Sixth Heaven" because it enshrined the king of the heavenly world, "The Sixth Heaven", which is said to be the same as the god of festivals. When the gods and Buddha were divided by the Meiji Restoration, the name was changed to the current company name.
In addition, during the Edo period, this area was rich in water, so many fields spread, and there were many water mills on the Shibuya River. This situation is also depicted in Katsushika Hokusai's "Thirty-six Views of Futaka".
In the 18th year of Meiji (1855), the Kumano Shrine, which was located at 84 Kodamura (now Jingumae 6-chome), was enshrined. The land where Kumano Shrine was located was once ruled by the Asano family, which had a close relationship with the Kaga and Maeda families, and the family crest of the Maeda family is engraved on our company's water shed, which was relocated at the time of the joint enshrinement.
As a commemorative project for Emperor Showa's Imperial Ceremony, the shrine was expanded and renovated, the shrine office was newly constructed, and the Kagura Hall and Temizusha were renovated, and the shrine facilities were completed. At that time, our company was still an unqualified company, but due to the merger of Sendagaya Town, we applied for company status on September 25, Showa 3, and were promoted to a village company on November 2 of the same year.
During the Tokyo Air Raid on May 25, 1945, everything except the shrine was destroyed. However, thanks to the sincerity and dedication of the revered clan members, the shrine and lanterns in the Komatsu Duke Residence were removed and our facilities were rebuilt.
However, 50 years after the end of the war, the facility has deteriorated significantly, and in Heisei 8 (1996), a complete renovation was carried out, and in Heisei 10 (1998), the shrine, shrine office, and shrine vault were newly built, and the Inari Shrine and Temizusha were relocated.
Today, many stores and companies, mainly in the fashion, apparel, and beauty industries, are lined up, and it has become a city where many people from all over the world gather as a center of new cultural trends. As the guardian of the city, we protect the people who live in this area.
