Yoshiwara Shrine – A Shrine for One of Japan’s Oldest Businesses
Near Tokyo's famous Otori Shrine stands Yoshiwara Shrine, a shrine with a unique history.
During the Edo period, Yoshiwara was Japan's most famous licensed pleasure district. Like merchants, fishermen, and craftsmen who had their own guardian deities, the people of Yoshiwara also established shrines and prayed for prosperity, safety, health, and good fortune.
Over time, several small shrines within the district were merged into today's Yoshiwara Shrine.
It is a reminder that even one of the world's oldest professions had its own shrine, faith, traditions, and community. Today, the shrine quietly preserves a fascinating chapter of Tokyo's history.
