Hikan Inari Shrine 被官稲荷神社
A tiny wooden Inari shrine tucked behind Asakusa Shrine, missed by almost everyone heading to the main hall.
About
Hikan Inari was founded in the 1850s by a fire-brigade chief whose wife recovered from illness, and its small hall is one of the oldest wooden structures left in Asakusa. A short row of red torii leads to the shrine, which feels a world away from the crowds a few steps south.
Highlights
- Small Edo-period wooden hall
- Red torii tunnel in a quiet corner
- Steps from the Senso-ji crowds
Tips
- Walk around the north-east side of Asakusa Shrine to find it
