Suiten Shrine at Akabane.
(Akabane Suitengū, 赤羽根水天宮).

Akabane is a small neighborhood situated between the Akabane Bridge and the Nakano Bridge in Mita, a district within the Minato Ward, located in the southern part of Edo.
The name "Akabane" is believed to originate from the red soil (Akahani) that is characteristic of this area. This residential complex is notable for housing the largest fire watchtower in Edo and the Suitengū Shrine.
The Arima family, which has been the head of the Kurume feud in Kyūshū since the 17th century, is closely associated with these landmarks.
The Suitengū Shrine venerates the Suijin, the water deity of the Chikugo River. People used to offer prayers at this shrine to seek assistance in locating lost items and for safe childbirth. General worship ceremonies were typically held on the fifth day of each month.
In 1871, the complex was relocated to Aoyama, and in 1872, it was moved again to Nihonbashi, following the relocation of the Arima residence.
