History
A branch shrine of the Inari Shrine that was enshrined on Inari Mountain in Ueno Estate, Awa District, Mikawa Province, was relocated to Fukuage by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1590 CE (Tensho 18) as a talisman for victory in battle upon his entry into Edo. In 1606 CE (Keicho 11), it was relocated to the Honjo Motomachi site as the deity of the Onawa Ji clan, and in 1893 CE (Meiji 26), it was moved to its current location.

What visitors say
This shrine is located in a quiet residential area, and its vivid vermilion-painted buildings are eye-catching. The grounds are compact but well-maintained, and the red eyes of the guardian lions (Komainu) are particularly striking. Offerings are displayed in a corner under the eaves, and visitors can select them themselves and pay at the offering box. Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) can be received on the second floor of the office building.
