\n It is said that the origin of this shrine dates back to 1466, when Inari Daijin was enshrined and an epidemic was quelled. In 1929, Komasaburo Naito, a master carpenter who served as chief engineer for the construction of Meiji Shrine, built the shrine and Kaguraden (music and dancing hall). It is the only remaining prewar wooden shrine building in the Nihonbashi area, and features magnificent carvings of “ascending dragons” and “descending dragons. There is also a statue of Benzaiten, a statue of Fukurokuju, one of the seven gods of good fortune of Nihonbashi, and a “sen-arai-benten” (well for washing money), and it is popularly known as “Tokyo sen-arai-benten,” which brings good luck for money.<\/p>\n
