Tokyo Daijingu Shrine

東京大神宮
Tokyo Daijingu Shrine is a shrine located in Fujimi 2-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. The main deities are Emperor Amaterasu and Toyoke Ōkami. On April 17, 1880 (Meiji 13), the Imperial Grand Shrine Haruka Worship Hall was completed on the site of Okuma Shigenobu's residence in Yurakucho and was generally called "Hibiya Grand Shrine" or "Hibiya Imperial Grand Shrine". The Imperial Grand Shrine is the inner shrine of Ise Jingu, and the modern Tokyo Daijingu Shrine has a sign that says "Ise-sama of Tokyo", which is also a common name. When the Jingu Shrine and the Jingu Monastery were separated due to a change in religious policy by the Meiji government, the main shrine, which belonged to the latter, was renamed the Daijingu Shrine and the Jingu Hosaikai Honin several times. On May 10, 1900 (Meiji 33), the wedding of Crown Prince Yoshihito (later Emperor Taisho) was held in the three palaces. To commemorate this, he founded the Shinzen wedding ceremony, which became a Shinto wedding that has been handed down to the present day. It was damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake on September 1, 1923 (Taisho 12), and moved to its current location in 1928 (Showa 3) and was called Iidabashi Daijingu. In January 1946 (Showa 21) after the end of the Pacific War, the name was changed to the religious corporation Tokyo Daijingu Shrine, and it continues to the present.
