History and things to know
According to the shrine's tradition, it originated in the Keian era when the people of Ōjima village, troubled by floods, received a divided spirit from Fushimi Inari Taisha and enshrined it as the ubusunagami (tutelary deity) of the land. Tarō Inari was merged into it in Meiji 30, and Atago Jinja in Shōwa 19. It lost its shrine buildings in the Great Tokyo Air Raid, and the present shrine buildings were built in Shōwa 42.
