Tomioka Hachiman-gu, founded in 1627, is Tokyo’s largest Hachiman shrine. The shrine was revered from the people of Shitamachi, and familiar as “Hachiman of Fukagawa”. Like in Hiroshige’s depiction, this image doesn’t include the Hachiman shrine itself but only one of the gates is visible leading the road to the temple, nowadays immersed in an urban landscape.
