The present and present of Hiranumacho

Please note that the content introduced here may differ from the current one.

Hiranuma Kubei, who succeeded in reclaiming the land after several generations of hardship, and named it. Nowadays, it looks a little lonely thanks to the development of the Yokohama-sta.-nishiguchi and Minato Mirai 21 district, but in the past, Hiranuma Station was set up as an alternative to Yokohama Station, and there was a period of prosperity as a town in front of the station. However, with the abolition of the station, it disappeared with a dream. However, since then, Hiranumacho has developed as a commercial area, and Nishihiranumacho has developed as an industrial area.

guardian god in this town is Hiranuma Shrine. I think that Mr. Suitengu would be better than that. It is said that its origin was when the talisman of Suitengu arrived in the waterway of Shiota and worshiped it. It's a bit of a crying story, such as enshrining the 8-year-old Emperor Antoku who entered enshrined deity in Dan-no-ura.
