Sarue Shrine - Koto City

I visited the shrine for the first time. This shrine is famous for receiving a limited edition red stamp. I worshiped at around 9 am on New Year's Day, but I received the red stamp with the 5th number tag. There were not so many worshipers and I was able to relax and worship.

The warrior who was active in the latter half of the Heian era and a warrior called "Saruto Tota" who was praised and exhausted in the inlet, local fishermen buried well, built a mound in the shrine precinct, It is said that it is said that the name of "Sarue" was tied to the character of "Saru" and "E" of Irie. A monkey is also drawn on the Goshushi book and Goshushi. The red stamp changes depending on the season, and there are limited red stamps for even and odd days.

There is a normal red stamp and a red stamp that says that the plague has disappeared. There are Hayagriva Kannon Shrine and Fujimori Inari Shrine in the precincts of Sarue Shrine.

Despite the corona wreck, I received a polite red stamp

I visited am 9: 45 on Sunday, March 24, 2019 Cherry blossoms in the precincts began to bloom. I visited the Lunar New Year at 10:40 on February 5, 2019 (Tue). There was no sign of Setsubun and I was able to visit the spacious premises gently. I visited at the afternoon of Setsubun on February 3rd, 2019 (Sunday). Genji, a family monster Monkey Fujita, a design of a monkey named for its name in the Edge Shrine is drawn on the red circle.

It is a reinforced concrete shrine, probably because of the war damage or because of the location where the sea breeze is strong. However, the history seems to be quite old. Maybe because Tokyo is an eastern country, or because Ieyasu Tokugawa called himself a descendant of Genji, Minamoto no Yoshiie's great country soul shrine, Minamoto no Yoritomo's legendary Zenpukuji Park's late Noi, Minamoto no Yoritomo There are many shrines related to Genji, such as Igusa Hachimangu, where hand-planted pine trees are planted. This Sarue Shrine is one of them, and it will be a shrine where fishermen enshrine "Saruto Ta" who followed Minamoto no Yoriyoshi in the role of Gosannen War. Yes, Musashi Province was originally named because it was a front-line base for the conquest of Ezo and had an armory of the imperial court. Kichijoji Hachiman was also built by Sakanoue Tamura Maro, and Minamoto no Yoritomo was Oshu Fujiwara. It is the place where I dug a well on the way back from the conquest of. Another point is that the fishermen are enshrined. There were many fishermen and seaweed merchants near Omori and Haneda, and Edo Bay was actually a sea rich in fishing resources. The fact that the Fujimori Inari Shrine of the precincts was originally enshrined in the lumber storehouse of the Edo Shogunate makes you feel the locality of Edo. Tokyo is by no means a city of artificial business and modern fashion. There is another landscape that can be excavated in this way, which is an interesting place. [History] As a tradition, when Minamoto no Yoriyoshi conquered Oshu (the role of the next three years) during the Kohei era (1058-1065), a brave warrior corpse drifted to a cove near this area, and strangely, from that corpse. Every night, a light is emitted and the villagers politely bury this corpse. On the samurai's armor, Minamoto no Yoriyoshi's vassal "Saru no Touta" is written, and a volume of thankful sutras appears from his pocket. It is honored as Sarue Inari, and is enshrined as a guardian deity near the neighborhood, as a place of honorific deity of the village, and even more than that, the place name began to be called Sarue village and continues to the present day. The place name of Sarue is exactly the origin of this. At that time, the Sarue Inari Shrine, which is the shrine of this village, has traditionally used "Amaterasu Omikami" and "Ukanomitama God" as deities, but with the addition of the spirit of the samurai Saruto, for generations. In the Edo era, the chief priest of the Nichiren sect temple Honkakuyama Myojuji, which is called the Sarue Inari Shrine, was in charge of guardianship for generations. Invited, along with the development of the village and the town, the people of the town's parishioners have taken over the protection and operation of the shrine.

There are some concrete shrines, but it seems that our company, which was built in 1945, is the oldest concrete shrine in Japan. Immediately after entering the torii, a new god monkey is still sitting on the left. It looks a little cartoonish. It is a small shrine like a shrine in Tokyo, but it used to be a shrine with a site of 500 tsubo. Fujimori Inari Shrine and Hayagriva Kannon are enshrined in the precincts as the last shrine. The origin of the head office is not clear, but it is said that it has been worshiped as an Inari shrine for a long time. During the Heian period, a military commander named Saruno Touta died in a cove here. He is a military commander who made numerous dedications as Minamoto no Yoriyoshi in the role of the previous nine years. Local fishermen carefully buried this and built a mound in the precincts of our company. It is said that the company name of "Sarue" was created by combining the characters "Saru" of Tota Sarue and "E" of Irie. Be done.
