Karasumori Shrine is located amid a drinking quarter spread in the west of Shimbashi Station. Even in the evening when plenty of people enjoy drinking with their colleagues, people feel serenity around this shrine.
Of course , this shrine is much older than Shimbashi Station. The history of this shrine says it was established around 1000 years ago, but at least under Tokugawa Shogunate, this shrine was one of the major shrines is Edo . When the current Shimbashi Station was built about 100 years ago, it named its west gate “Karasumori Gate”, because at that time the name of the town in the west of Shimbashi Station was “Karasumori “.
