The temple began as a memorial service for a major fire in the Edo period.
There are also many animal tombs in this temple.
Also, the sumo tournament that was held on the temple grounds became the origin of today's sumo tournament.

This place was a government rice warehouse built in 1734.
Before this rice warehouse was built, there were riots due to the soaring price of rice.
It seems that the politics of that time was also very difficult.

As a matter of fact, I have never been in one yet. (^_^)

On the day of the visit, I passed by and took some pictures.
I think there are materials from the old days when Tokyo was called Edo.
I'll report back when I go to see inside.
