Hie Shrine
Hie Shrine is famous as a god of love, childbirth and birth delivery. Unlike other shrines, it is wrapped in mysterious atmosphere. The Sanno Festival is the one of the Edo Sansei Festivals, and famous festival held in mid June every year. It is regarded as one of the Tenkai Festival with the Kanda Festival and the Fukagawa Festival.
There is two ways to go up the main shrine,”Shaden” from the Torii of front entrance. “Otokozaka” that you need to climb the stairs and Onnazaka, that you climb the gentle slope. The main shrine,”Shaden” is colorful, if you enter, there is a couple monkey statue. The male monkey is for business and female monkey is for prosperity and marriage. Monkeys are said to have been honored as gifts between god and human beings from long time ago. Since the main mountain of god is known as Oyama Kuinokami, the monkeys which was also said to be the guardian of the mountain specified as a servant of god. It is thought that it is superior to "Saru" (Masaru), "The devil leaves 魔が去る(Magasaru=cursed)", and it is placed as a god of luck and as a talisman.
At back of the “Shaden”, there is one more spot that you can not miss!! There is red “Senbon Torii” in Inari-sando. As some of you know,“ “Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine” is famous in “Senbon Torii”, but here also have considerable sights!!
There are few shrine entrance to “Shaden.” If you do not prefer to climb stairs or slope, there is escalator to Shaden from Shin-sando near to Tameike-Sanno or Akasaka station. Our suggestion is to enter from the main gate (Omotesando) then at last go to Inari-sando and back to station is the best way. Inari-sando nearest station will be Akasaka-mitsuke station.
