Tucked away behind Asakusa’s bustling Sensoji Temple, a hidden gem awaits discovery: the Hikan Inari-jinja Shrine, or Inari Shrine as it’s often called. This Inari Shrine isn’t just a place of worship. It’s a testament to a heartfelt story of gratitude and healing. Our journey begins in 1854. The wife of Asakusa’s fire brigade chief fell gravely ill. Desperate, he prayed at the renowned Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto. Miraculously, his wife recovered. Overwhelmed with gratitude, the fire chief decided to build a shrine dedicated to Inari right here in Asakusa. The Hikan Inari-jinja Shrine was born. You’ll find this charming Inari Shrine nestled behind Sensoji Temple. Follow the path along the right side of the main shrine. You’ll pass a gravel pathway and a parking lot before discovering this tranquil oasis. The Hikan Inari-jinja Shrine, with its vibrant orange torii gates and fox statues, stands as a symbol of hope and recovery. It’s a reminder of the power of prayer and the enduring bond between husband and wife. It’s a peaceful retreat from the bustling streets of Asakusa. A place where you can reflect on the stories whispered through time and perhaps offer a prayer of your own.
