History
Founded in 1642 CE (Kanei 19), the shrine originated as the guardian deity of the 'Asakusa Sanjusan-do' (Asakusa Hall of Thirty-Three Bays), which was established by Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun of the Edo period. It was named Yasaki Inari Shrine because it was located on the far side of the target used for the 'Tsuiya' (a traditional archery ritual involving a continuous arrow).
