Koami Shrine was established in 1466, and is located in Ningyocho, with various nostalgic restaurants, and offices. It evaded destruction from the Great Tokyo Air Raids. Soldiers who went to the battlefield carrying charms from the shrine miraculously returned, making the shrine popular as a spot for good luck and warding away bad luck.
The main deity enshrined is the Ichikishimahimeno-kami, known as the god of wealth and asset fortunes alongside the Benzaiten. The left side of the shrine features the statue of the eponymous god known as the “Coin Washing Well”. When keeping a coin washed in this well, it leads to wealth and fortune. Its powers are popular as the “Tokyo Zeniarai (Coin Washing) Benten”. Crossing the Torii gates, to the left is the smiling, cute “Fukurokujyu” statue. Pat its head to bring fortunes in health, popularity, good luck, wealth and more.
Charms adorned with dragons, horned owl, turtles and other animals related to good luck are sold. Popular good luck charms such as Omikuji (paper fortune) made with real cocoons are sold. The shrine grounds are always crowded with worshippers who wish for luck and fortune.
