Hiratsuka Shrine

北区上中里1丁目47−1

4.0(504)

A local shrine (Koyasha) located in Kami Nakazato, Kita Ward, Tokyo, with historical ties to the stay of the three Minamoto brothers.

History

It is said that the place name originated when the three Minamoto brothers stayed at Hiratsuka Castle during the Heian period and buried a suit of armor, given to them as a token of gratitude, in a mound. The Toyoshima clan, admiring their virtue, established the shrine and named it Hiratsuka Sansho Dai Myojin (Great Deity of the Three Shrines of Hiratsuka). During the Edo period, the blind man Yamakawa Sadahisa prayed to Hiratsuka Myojin for promotion and obtained the rank of Kengyo (Inspector). Later, he prayed for the recovery of Tokugawa Iemitsu and repaired the shrine buildings, for which Iemitsu donated a Shuinchi (a tax-exempt land grant).

What visitors say

This shrine is easily accessible, located within walking distance of Nakazato Station. The grounds are spacious and have a quiet atmosphere. At the administrative office, you can use an intercom to call staff, and you can receive Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) or have special commemorative stamps applied. The approach path is sometimes used as a parking lot, but there are several traditional confectionery shops in the surrounding area.
