It was founded in 1880 (Meiji 13). After the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, it was moved to its current location in 1928 and renamed Iidabashi Daijingu (Iidabashi Grand Shrine). It is also called the “Ise Shrine of Tokyo” because it enshrines Amaterasu-Okami and Toyoke-Okami, the deities of the Ise Jingu Shrine. The shrine is famous as the originator of Shinto wedding ceremonies for the general public, and is also known for its blessings for marriage.
