Anazawa Tenjinsha

Anazawa Tenjinsha, Shinto shrine in Inagi, Japan

Anazawa Tenjinsha sits on a slope of the Tama Hills along the Misawa River in Yano-kuchi, Inagi. Its hall, restored in 1986, stands above a cliff cave whose spring is listed among Tokyo's 57 Famous Springs. The grounds also hold a monument to the scholar Kubo Zenryō, who is credited with naming Inagi.

Tradition dates the shrine's founding to March of the 4th year of Emperor Kōan, 423 BCE, and it is identified with the Anazawa Shrine of Tama District listed in the Engishiki register of shrines. In 1694 the local land steward Katō Tarōzaemon repaired the hall and merged the Tenman Shrine into it; the main hall was restored in 1986.

The main deity is Sukunabikona-no-Mikoto, though some scholars argue the original local land god Anazawa-shin was worshipped here instead. Sugawara no Michizane, the Tenjin of learning, was enshrined jointly in 1694 when the Tenman Shrine was merged. The annual festival on August 25 features Edo-style satokagura and a lion dance.

The shrine is a 5-minute walk from Keio Yomiuriland-mae Station on the Keio Sagamihara Line, or about 20 minutes on foot from Yanokuchi Station on the JR Nambu Line. The grounds sit on a slope of the Tama Hills above the Misawa River, and a spring below the cliff is one of Tokyo's 57 selected springs.

The spring beneath the shrine's cliff, reached via the cave shrine, is listed among Tokyo's 57 Selected Famous Springs, and people come constantly to draw its water. The cave once held Buddhist statues such as Daikokuten and Bishamonten, moved to Ikō-ji in 1871.
