[Tokyo/Yoroi Shrine] A shrine in Shinjuku Ward associated with Taira no Masakado

Yoroi Jinja Shrine in Shinjuku, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 It is said that Emperor Yamato Takeru donated his armor to this place. On the other hand, it is said that in the first year of the Tenryaku era (947), Taira no Masakado's armor was donated here. It is a mystery as to which is the truth, but we can infer that the shrine was named after the "armor" that was donated there! The well-built torii gate and shrine building give the shrine a sense of dignity.　　 ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Yoroi Shrine ꕥAddress: 3-16-18 Kitashinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo ꕥAccess 🚉Okubo Station → approx. 10 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Tokyo sightseeing #Tokyo trip #Shrines and temples #Visiting a shrine
