Hatsunemori Shrine

This shrine was founded in the year 1330 and enshrines the god of the soul. During the year of civilization, the Great Shrine Hall was built by the Prince of Ota Province. At that time, it was called Hatsune-no-ri, and the forest of oak trees along the Oshu Highway, that is, the later Hatsune Forest, was around the current intersection of Yasukuni-dori in Bakurocho. In addition, this place is called Hatsune no Sato, Japan Bridge Shinobe, Bakuro Town, and Yokoyama Town are located in the center, and the construction of the shrine hall has led to worship as a nearby god of production. In the 20th year of Tenmon (1551), a horse track was built in front of the shrine, and a horse chase event was held at the first noon festival, and there is a record in the Tensho Diary of the Hatsune baba at that time by Takagi Genbei, a bakuri (horse eater) at that time. After the entry of the Tokugawa shogunate, about half of the precincts of this place were cut down for the construction of the Mitsuke Bansho (Asakusa Mitsukemon), and after the great fire in the third year of the Meiji calendar, the other site (the temple that protects the shrine: Saikoji) also became the site of the house in Kanto District, and the site was replaced by Chitose, Sumida Ward, where the current headquarters (Hatsunemori Shrine) is located, and the shrine was relocated to this day. A shrine was built in this place (site), which is part of the old building in Showa 23, and in December of Showa 48, the new hall and ritual hall were modernized.
