Ebisu Shrine, Akunoura

Although the English title says Naminohira, this is the Ebisu Shrine in Akunoura. Koyanagi Gorozaemon Michinaga moved from Ebisu-machi (area of present-day Nagasaki Station) to Senowaki Village in Inasa in 1633. This served as an office for Nagasaki Magistrate Matsudaira Zushonokami during the Phaeton Incident. After the Meiji Restoration, this shrine was renamed as Inasa Jinja, but the original name was resurrected in 1937. Fishermen's houses dominated the area, which commanded a scenic view of the opposite shore.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐34‐0]
