Inari Shrine at Teppōzu (Teppōzu Inari, 鉄砲洲稲荷).

A quiet cove at Teppōzu: boats at anchor, the red palisade and wooded slope of the Inari Shrine at right, willow over the water, Edo Bay beyond under a graded evening sky with birds.
The Teppōzu Inari Shrine is located in the Chūō ward of Tōkyō.
The name Teppōzu means “rifle,” and it is said to originate either from the rifle-shaped sandbars along the nearby shore, or from the fact that the area was once used as a testing ground for artillery.
Formerly known as Minato Inari Jinja, it contains a fujizuka—a mound built to resemble Mount Fuji—from which visitors could enjoy a beautiful view of the mountain itself. In the past, numerous ships passed through the port at Teppōzu, and travelers prayed at the shrine for safety during their journeys.
