Located in Takadanobaba, Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, this shrine is also known as Shinjuku Suwa Shrine. It has deep historical ties to the falconry of the Tokugawa clan. Since ancient times, it has been believed that the underground sacred water springing from the site possesses spiritual efficacy for curing eye diseases and various other ailments.

History
The shrine's origins are said to date back to the Kōnin era (810–824 CE), when Ono no Takamura enshrined Ōkuninushi-no-Mikoto and Kunitokotachi-no-Mikoto. In the early Edo period, Tokugawa Yoshinao invited and merged the Suwa deities from Shinano Province, and the shrine was renamed "Suwa Shrine." It was constructed under the patronage of Tokugawa Iemitsu, and the clan's old falcons have been dedicated here by successive generations.
