Auf einen Blick

Suehiro Shrine (末廣神社) is a Shinto shrine in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, established before 1596 as the guardian deity of the original Yoshiwara district. It enshrines Bishamonten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods, and is named after a lucky folding fan discovered in 1675.

Shinto-Schrein

Warum du gehen solltest

The shrine's name comes from a 'chūkei' (folding fan) discovered during 1675 renovations. Since fans widen toward the end, they're called 'suehiro' (widening末広), symbolizing prosperity and good fortune.

The shrine once served the Yoshiwara pleasure district that existed in Ningyocho until 1657's Great Fire. After Yoshiwara moved to Asakusa, locals continued worshipping here as their neighborhood guardian.

Yomoyo Inari enshrines a real Edo-period midwife who rescued abandoned children and cared for working mothers' babies. Grateful townspeople deified her after death, building a shrine within the grounds.

Ancient records confirm the shrine existed by 1596 during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, though its exact founding date remains unknown. The current building was reconstructed in 1947 after WWII air raids.

Wissen Sie es, bevor Sie gehen

The shrine is on the Nihonbashi Shichifukujin pilgrimage route, dedicated to Bishamonten, the deity of victory and disaster protection. You might want to collect stamps from all seven shrines if you're interested.
The shrine is tucked away in a narrow alley off the main street in a compact space between buildings, so look carefully for the entrance as it's easy to miss while walking through the Nihonbashi area.
Visit the small Yomoyo Inari shrine within the grounds, which honors a real Edo-period midwife who rescued abandoned children and cared for working mothers' babies, making it especially meaningful for those seeking blessings for women and children.
Goshuin stamp books are not available for direct writing, so expect to receive a pre-written calligraphy slip instead, which the staff apologetically offers but is beautifully executed and still a worthy keepsake.
The shrine office has limited hours and may be closed in the evening, but the grounds remain well-lit and accessible for worship even after the office closes, as noted by visitors who came during evening hours.
