History
Until the early Edo period, this area was a wetland. After the Great Fire of 1657 CE (Meireki 3), the shogunate ordered the reclamation of part of the wetland, and the Yoshiwara pleasure quarter from Nihonbashi was relocated here. During the construction of the pleasure quarter, part of the pond remained, and eventually a Benten Shrine was enshrined on the bank, attracting the devotion of the pleasure quarter proprietors.

What visitors say
A quiet place that conveys the history of a location where many people took refuge and perished during the Great Kanto Earthquake. The shrine grounds feature a memorial monument, stone steles, and an image of Kannon that tell of the tragedy of that time, creating a solemn atmosphere that evokes the weight of history. Although part of the pond has since been reclaimed, visitors can learn about the local history through bulletin boards and other displays.
