[Koganei Shrine/Tokyo] A mortar and archery range in the lush grounds

Koganei Shrine in Koganei City, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 It is said that the shrine was built in 1205 (Genkyu 2) during the development of Musashino, and was dedicated to the virtue of Sugawara no Michizane. During the Meiji Restoration, the shrine was renamed from "Tenmangu Shrine" to "Tenmangu Shrine." It is the guardian shrine of the former Kami- and Shimo-Koganei villages and Koganei Shinden, and in 1870 it was renamed Koganei Shrine after the place name. The shrine grounds are reached by climbing up a few stone steps. There is a plum tree and a cow statue in honor of the enshrined deity. In the back, there is a 3m-tall stone mill stacked in the style of a Fujizuka as a memorial for millstones that had outlived their usefulness. If you go further in, there is a kyudo field, and if you're lucky, you can actually see people shooting their bows! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Koganei Shrine ꕥAddress: 4-7-2 Nakamachi, Koganei City, Tokyo ꕥAccess: 🚉 Musashi-Koganei Station → About 14 minutes on foot ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #ShrineLover #ShrineTour #ShrinesTemples #ShrineVisit
