Irugi-jinja Shrine

Once situated near Iruki Bridge, which spans the Meguro River, Irugi Shrine was moved to its current location during the early Edo Period because the Meguro River was prone to flooding.

Location: 3-8-20 Osaki

Kifune-jinja Shrine

Since ancient times Kifune Shrine has had the sacred image of Hotei-son—one of the Seven Lucky Gods—beside the torii gate as its landmark, and the shrine itself is dedicated to a water god. An annual grand festival is held here in early June.

Location: 3-16-31 Nishi-Shinagawa
