Suga Shrine
須賀神社The current Suga Shrine was originally the Inari Shrine. It is said that the Inari Shrine was located in Shimizu Valley in what is now Akasaka and Hitotsuki Village, and was transferred to this place (current location) as a replacement site in the 11th year of Go-Kanei for the purpose of applying for the outer moat of Edo Castle.
The ceremony of enthronement of Susano's life is that in the 14th year of Kanei, during the Shimabara Rebellion, a man named Kanyu Magome, the daimyō of Japan Bridge Odenma Town, relied on the order of the shogunate to work for logistics transmission horses, and based on his achievements, he took the opportunity to receive the land in the center of present-day Yotsuya, and in the 20th year of Kanei, the guardian deity of Japan Bridge Denma Town, which was enshrined in the Kanda Akira Shrine, was enshrined in Yotsuya at the collective initiative of the local people, and it came to be enshrined as both shrines. It is commonly known as Yotsuya Tennosha and has been popular until the Meiji Restoration. In the first year of the Meiji era, it was renamed Suga Shrine, and in the fifth year of the Meiji era, it was promoted to a gosha, and after the war, the old status was abolished due to the revision of the system.
The name of the company is Suga, which is based on the fact that Susanoo slew and picked up the great serpent of Hachimata on the river in the country of Izumo, and proclaimed, "Come to this land, Suga, Suga," and occupied the palace.
Although the shrine halls of the past are boring, the shrine hall before the war was started in August of the 11th year of Bunka and completed in December of the 11th year of the Bunsei after 15 years. At the time of the Great Kanto Earthquake on September 12, Taisho 12, it was the same as it was depicted in the Edo Famous Places Chart. During the Tokyo Air Raid on May 24, Showa 20, the main shrine and all the other buildings were lost, except for the chancel and the precincts, but after the war, we were able to see the reconstruction of today, thanks to the worshipper Akasei.
The chancel of our main shrine was built in the second year of the Bunsei era, but although it narrowly escaped being destroyed by fire during the previous war, it has deteriorated to an extreme deterioration, and this time it has been greatly restored, and construction began in the fall of Showa 63, and it was inaugurated on May 9 of the first year of Heisei, and the relocation ceremony was held on the 18th of the same month.
Today, it is one of the few shrines in Tokyo that shines with gold brilliance and is a majestic and splendid building. It has been about 170 years since its construction.
