One day before I left Tokyo, I visited the shrine. It was located within walking distance from my hotel.
I am not from Tokyo, so I read the history of Anamori Inari Shrine.
The shrine was originally founded in the late Edo period to protect the fields and homes in the Haneda Airport area. Other articles explained that the shrine was founded in the Bunka-Bunsei period (1804-1830). The Edo period spanned over 250 years, and the Bunka-Bunsei period was during the Edo period and was a cultural high point.
After World War II, the shrine was moved to the current location (near the station). It was dedicated to Toyouke-hime (the same major deity of Ise Shrine), a deity associated with food and success.
東京を離れる前日、滞在ホテルから徒歩圏内の「穴守稲荷神社」を訪れました。私は東京出身ではないので、神社の歴史を調べてみることに。
元々は、現在の羽田空港一帯の畑や家を守るために、江戸時代後期に創建されたとのこと。他の記事には、文化文政時代（1804年～1830年）に創建されたとも。江戸時代は250年以上続いて、文化文政時代は町人文化が栄えた時期。
第二次世界大戦後、「穴守稲荷駅」近くの今の場所に移転。食物や繁栄の神である、「豊受姫命」を祀っているそうです。

Thank you for sharing this fascinating glimpse into your visit to Anamori Inari Shrine. I always enjoy reading travel experiences that go beyond sightseeing and explore the history and cultural significance of a place.
Thank you as well. I visited there for the first time. I was a little surprised that the deity at this shrine is the same as the one at Ise Shrine in my grandma’s hometown 😊
