Ayase Inari Shrine

An Inari shrine founded more than 400 years ago famous for its blessings of prosperous business and good health

Ayase Inari Shrine, located about an 8-minute walk from Tokyo Budokan, which will host the Judo and Karate events, and also just a 3-minute walk from the west exit of Ayase Station, was founded in the year 1614. The origins of this temple are said to date back to the time when Kaneko Gohei played a major role in developing the land, and villagers from 69 households transferred a deity from Kyoto’s famous shrine, Fushimi Inari Taisha. The shrine’s main hall, constructed entirely of zelkova wood, tells of its history. The tastefully designed and precious building was erected in 1843. Located on the grounds is a Fujizuka, a small mound made to represent Mt. Fuji, which has been registered as a tangible folk cultural property by Adachi City. The shrine is said to bring worshippers prosperous business, protection from disasters, safe childbirth, and good physical health. Please feel free to visit this shrine while in the area for the Judo and Karate matches.
