Minamichizumi Koroku Shrine
〒116-0003 東京都荒川区南千住８丁目５−６
A shrine enshrining the deities Omotoshi-no-Mikoto and Kowakine-no-Mikoto, serving as the tutelary deity of the Shiriushi district.
History
In 1561 CE (Eiroku 4), it is said that Takata Kazaburo, a retainer of Uesugi Kenshin, fled after his defeat in the Battle of Kawagunakijima and enshrined both Omotoshi-no-Mikoto and Kowakine-no-Mikoto in a single shrine. It was formerly known as Rokuten, but was renamed Koroku Shrine during the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji Restoration.

What visitors say
The shrine grounds are small and surrounded by apartment buildings, but they maintain a calm atmosphere and are always well-kept. The worship hall and main hall feature exquisite carvings, and the guardian dogs atop the rocks are imposing. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) and Omamori (protective amulets) are available. A notable feature is the automated system for the water purification basin and the mechanism that rings the bells.
