Located in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, this shrine is famous for its deity of eye diseases, the water trade, and firefighting.

History
In 941 CE, Fujiwara no Hidehigo enshrined the deity Inari Oogami at the site of Tomizuka and named it Tomizuka Inari. In the 15th year of the Genroku era (1702 CE), a spring of sacred water emerged, and an oracle declared the shrine's power to ward off fire disasters, leading to its renaming to Mizu Inari Shrine. In 1963, a land exchange with Waseda University was conducted, and the shrine was relocated to its current site.
