Mizu Inari Jinja Shrine

水稲荷神社Mizu Inari Jinja (水稲荷神社) is a Shinto shrine located in the Waseda district of Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo.
It was founded in 941 according to legend. It used to be located where it is now part of the campus of Waseda University until 1963 but was relocated here in that year, so what's present in the precincts are relatively new.
