[Narukotenjin Shrine/Tokyo] A shrine that coexists with the modern environment

Nariko Tenjin Shrine in Shinjuku, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 The shrine was founded in 903, when vassals Saeki and Saigū learned of Sugawara no Michizane's death in Dazaifu and brought a wooden statue of Michizane back from Heian-kyo to the eastern provinces to enshrine it. The shrine was founded in Enki 3 (903). During the Edo period, Kasuga no Tsubone, who received a mansion from Tokugawa Iemitsu, enshrined it from Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, and it was moved to its current location during the Kanbun era (1861-73). The shrine is surrounded by apartment buildings in a typical Shinjuku landscape. Although the exterior has evolved with the times, you can feel the shrine coexisting with the surrounding area while retaining its good points! 👉Key points of Nariko Tenjin Shrine ⛩ Statues of the wind god and thunder god at the shrine gate ⛩ "Nariko Fuji" at the back of the shrine grounds Built with lava from Mt.
