Dairokuten Sakaki-jinja

Dairokuten Sakaki-jinja, Shinto shrine in Japan

Dairokuten Sakaki-jinja is a small Shinto shrine in the Kuramae district with simple wooden structures that blend into the neighborhood. The grounds feature a large torii gate and old trees that create a quiet place for prayer and reflection.

According to tradition, the shrine was founded by Yamato Takeru during the reign of Emperor Keikō. Long called Dairokuten Jingū, it was renamed Sakaki-jinja in 1873. It moved to its present site in 1928, part of the former Tokyo Higher Technical School grounds near the school gate, after the school relocated to Ōokayama following the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake.

The shrine is dedicated to the Dairokuten deity, a figure worshipped in both Shinto and Buddhist traditions. Visitors come here to write wishes, burn incense, and participate in small rituals that have been handed down through generations.

The shrine is about 6 minutes on foot from Kuramae Station on the Toei Asakusa and Oedo lines, and about 6 minutes from Asakusabashi Station on the Toei Asakusa line and JR Sobu line. Two torii stand at the south and west sides of the grounds, with the shrine name marker beside the south torii; the temizuya is to the right in front of the worship hall.

The shrine's festival is held on the first Saturday and Sunday of June, and the grand festival takes place every other year. Its portable shrine, a senkan mikoshi with a 4-shaku-2-sun base frame, is second in size only to the main mikoshi of nearby Torigoe Shrine.
