The shrine's sacred ginkgo tree became charred black after shielding the neighborhood from firebombs during the 1945 Tokyo air raids, yet survived and still thrives today, a story now taught in elementary school ethics textbooks.
One of the trees burned in the Tokyo air raids naturally formed into the shape of a fox (kitsune), the messenger of Inari, locals call it the "hidden Inari" and visitors are challenged to find it among the trees.

Look for the hidden fox shape in one of the trees that was burned during the Tokyo air raids - the priest can point out which tree has the fox-shaped burn marks if you ask.
Take time to find the many small fox statues scattered throughout the compact shrine grounds, as discovering these hidden inari foxes is part of the visitor experience.
The shrine has no parking lot, so plan to use nearby coin parking or walk approximately 15 minutes from Oshiage Station to reach this residential area location.
