History

The shrine was built in the early Meiji period[3]:89 by Jingu-kyo[4] so people in Tokyo could worship the deities enshrined at Grand Shrine of Ise from afar. The shrine was originally called Hibiya Daijingu (日比谷大神宮).[2]

In 1901, a wedding took place at the shrine, being the first Shinto wedding held in an urban area.[5]:286

After the Kanto Earthquake, the shrine was moved to Iidabashi in 1928 and renamed to Iidabashi Daijingu. Following the end of World War II, the name of the shrine was changed to Tokyo Daijingu.[2]
