Kiba Suwazaki Shrine

〒135-0042 東京都江東区木場6丁目13−13

4.1(445)

Located in Koto Ward, Tokyo, this shrine was founded during the Genroku era. During the Edo period, it flourished as a popular tourist destination known for its beautiful scenery.

History

In 1700 CE (Genroku 13), the shrine was established near the coastline of that time to enshrine Benten (the goddess of water and eloquence). With the cooperation of Ryuko, it enshrined a statue of Benten, said to be a work by Kobo Daishi (Kukai) and originally the guardian deity of Kei Koin (Lady Kei). At the time, it was known as Suwazaki Benten-sha (Suwazaki Benten Shrine). It was renamed Suwazaki Shrine due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism policies in the Meiji era.
