Tokyo Daijingu

Tokyo Daijingu (Tokyo Daijingu) stands in Fujimi, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, and is the Tokyo branch shrine of Ise Jingu, popularly called the "Ise Jingu of Tokyo." The main enshrined deities are Amaterasu-Omikami of Ise Jingu Naiku and Toyouke-no-Okami of Ise Jingu Geku, with the three Zoka-no-Sanshin (Amenominakanushi-no-Kami, Takamimusubi-no-Kami, and Kamimusubi-no-Kami) and Yamato-hime-no-Mikoto as co-enshrined deities. All these deities are recorded in the Kojiki (712 CE) and the Nihon Shoki (720 CE). According to shrine records, the shrine was founded in 1880 in Hibiya as the Tokyo Daijingu-shi office of the Jingu Hosaikai (Ise Jingu support association). It relocated to the present Iidabashi site in 1928. The shrine is known as the first to hold modern Shinto-style weddings (1900), establishing the prototype for the contemporary shrine wedding ceremony.
