History
In the first year of Ansei (1854), when the wife of Shinmon Tatsuuro was seriously ill, she prayed at Fushimi Inari Shrine and made a full recovery. As a token of gratitude, in the second year of Ansei (1855), a divided spirit of the enshrined deity was invited here. A small shrine was then established and named Hikari Inari Shrine. It is currently enshrined as a subsidiary shrine within the grounds of Asakusa Shrine.

What visitors say
Located deep within the grounds of Asakusa Shrine, this is a compact shrine with a quiet atmosphere. To the left of the main hall, numerous adorable clay fox figurines wearing knitted hats have been dedicated. The guardian foxes on the grounds also wear red aprons. It is a well-maintained hidden gem where visitors can worship calmly, away from the bustle of the tourist area.
