A shrine located in Itabashi Ward, Tokyo. During the Edo period, it was known as the 'Jūni-ten-sha (Twelve Heavenly Deities Shrine)' and served as the tutelary deity of Azusawa Village.

History

The founding date is unknown, but one theory suggests it was enshrined by Minamoto no Yoshitake during the Kōhei era. During the Edo period, it was called the 'Jūni-ten-sha (Twelve Heavenly Deities Shrine)' and served as the tutelary deity of Azusawa Village. In 1869, it was renamed 'Azusawa Shrine.' Today, the shrine buildings stand atop the 'Azusawa Kannon-zuka Kofun (Azusawa Kannon Mound Tomb)' within the Shimura Kofun Group.

What visitors say

The approach path and shrine grounds are covered in lush greenery, featuring magnificent trees such as a Suda-zii (a type of evergreen oak) over 400 years old, creating a serene atmosphere. The grounds, where the worship hall and subsidiary shrines are lined up, are beautifully adorned with ginkgo trees in autumn. While not flashy, it offers a quiet and peaceful space for worship. During the New Year, omamori (protective amulets) and omikuji (fortune slips) are also sold.
