Tokumaru Kitano Shrine
板橋区徳丸６丁目３４−３
This is the oldest shrine in Itabashi Ward. It is also referred to as Tokumaru Kitano Shrine, incorporating the local place name.
History
Founded in 995 CE, this is the oldest shrine in Itabashi Ward. According to legend, during an epidemic, someone leaned against a red plum tree and recovered their health. Consequently, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, which enshrines Sugawara no Michizane who has ties to plum blossoms, was invited here. During the Edo period, it was known as 'Tenjinsha'. In 1873, the name was changed to 'Kitano Shrine'.

What visitors say
The shrine buildings are located at the end of a long approach, and the precincts are well-maintained. On New Year's Day, long queues often form for Hatsumode (the first shrine visit of the New Year). Events such as Shichi-Go-San (a celebration for children aged seven, five, and three) and prayers for academic success are actively held. Although the surrounding area is now a residential district, it was once a high ground offering panoramic views. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available.
