Complete guide to the White Snakes in Tokyo Jakubo Shrine (Tenso Shrine)

Jakubo Shrine (Tenso Shrine) is quietly located in a quiet residential area in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo. This shrine, once known as "Kamijinmei Tenso Shrine," was known as "Jakubo Shrine," as its name suggests, and its official name was changed in 2019. It is known as one of the best shrines in Tokyo fortunes, and many worshippers visit the shrine in search of the blessing of the White Snake.

Chapter 1: History and origin of Jakubo Shrine - The legend of White Snakes and people's beliefs

The history of Jakubo Shrine dates back to 1322, at the end of the Kamakura period. At the time, the area that includes what is now Futaba, Toyomachi, Togoshi and Nishi-Oi was called "Jakubo Village." When the area was hit by a major drought, villagers prayed for rain at Ryu Shrine, which was located on the banks of the old pond. Then, heavy rain fell in the air, allowing the village to escape the crisis. The villagers who were grateful for this miracle are said to have originated in Jakubo Shrine when they enshrined Ryu Shrine.

The "snake," which is also the origin of the name of Jakubo Shrine, has been worshiped since ancient times as a sacred creature. White snakes in particular are worshiped as an auspicious person who brings good fortune and wealth, as an angel for Benzaiten. Jakubo Shrine has many legends related to white snakes, and the most famous of these is "White Snake Auspicious".

White snake's wish that appears in the dream pillow

During the Kamakura period, on the left side of the shrine legend at Jakubo Shrine (near the current fire brigade station), there was a washing area where fresh water gushed out, and a white snake lived there. However, as time passed, the washing area disappeared, and the white snake moved to the pond in what is now Togoshi Park.

One day, a white snake appeared in the dream pillow of Moriya Tomoyoshi, the former home of the land, and begged him, "I hope they will return to my original home as soon as possible." Moriya Tomoyoshi told the chief priest this story and asked him to return the White Snake to its original state. After careful consideration, the chief priest decided to build the Benzaiten shrine, digging a pond in the current parking lot, setting up a small island in the center of the pond, and building a stone shrine in the cave inside it, and enshrining the white snake.

On the night when the white snake was greeted, as we were about to hold a prayer, the shining starry sky was instantly covered in dark clouds, and a huge wind blew through with thunder. It is said that the view was truly a miraculous feeling.

In 1954 after the war, thanks to the defining of volunteers including Sakurai Masatoshi, the shrine was moved to its current location, and the roof and Benten Pond were constructed. On April 1, 2021, to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the shrine, the stone caves, shrine buildings, Benten Pond, and Hakuryu Falls were rebuilt by the parishioners' worshippers, and new coin washing was established.

These legends about the white snakes tell us that Jakubo Shrine has a close relationship with Benzaiten and the white snake, and hope that people will live with a clean heart and kindness, taking advantage of the white snake.
