Takanawa Shrine is located along National Route 15. It is said to have been founded in the Meiō era (1492-1501) in the middle of the Muromachi period. When it was founded, it was an Inari shrine, but in 1929 it was renamed to its current name. Taishido was built in the Meireki era (1655-1658). It currently exists as Taishido. There is a stone gate and stone wall surrounding the Taishido, which are decorated with magnificent carvings. Directly opposite the shrine are hop cultivation pots. When I asked at the shrine office, I was told that they are growing them as part of a local project, but they do not sell beer. Apparently, 2023 was too hot, and the hop flowers were smaller than usual. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Takanawa Shrine ꕥAddress: 2-14-18 Takanawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo ꕥAccess 🚉Shinagawa Station → 🚶♀️ 13 minute walk 🚉Sengakuji Station → 3 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Takanawa Shrine #Shrine tour #Shrines and temples #Solo trip #Tokyo trip #Tokyo sightseeing
