Just a 2-minute walk from Shinbashi Station, this shrine quietly stands in a back alley of Shinbashi’s drinking district, which fills with businesspeople at night. It is said to have begun with a shrine founded in 940 by Fujiwara no Hidesato, who subdued the Taira no Masakado rebellion after following the divine message of a white fox that appeared in his dream.
It is popular with businesspeople in Shinbashi because it is believed to bring blessings for prosperous business and prayers for victory. It also enshrines Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto, revered as a deity of the performing arts, so many visitors come here to pray for improvement in their artistic skills.
One thing you should definitely try when visiting is the shrine’s unique “Shingan Iro Mikuji.” Choose a fortune slip color-coded by wish: red (love, good relationships), yellow (financial luck, good fortune, business), blue (protection from evil, work, studies), or green (health, family), then write your wish on a votive card with a pen of the same color and dedicate it within the shrine grounds.
Goshuin stamps are also popular with collectors. In addition to the regular version featuring colorful tomoe crests in red, yellow, blue, and green, the shrine offers Approx. 10 types of commemorative goshuin each year to match rituals and seasonal events.
