Overview

Senju Shrine, located in Adachi City, Tokyo, is a Shinto shrine with a rich history dating back centuries. Originally, there were two shrines, Inari-jinja Shrine founded in 926 and Hikawa-jinja Shrine built in 1279. These were eventually merged and in 1915, it was renamed Senju Shrine. The enshrined deities are Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Ukanomitama-no-Mikoto.Despite being destroyed in an air raid in 1945 during World War II, the main building was rebuilt in 1958, and reconstruction has been ongoing since then. A concrete bomb shelter from the war remains on the grounds as a reminder of the past. A ginkgo tree also survived the bombing.Visitors can explore the shrine's grounds, which include a Fuji-zuka (a miniature Mount Fuji) constructed in 1922 and moved to its current location in 1936. There is also a stone monument inscribed with a haiku by Matsuo Basho, dating back to 1866, and a historical monument with inscriptions by Sato Gencho, a scholar of Chinese classics. Senju Shrine provides a tranquil environment for experiencing Japanese culture and spirituality.
