Nishiyama-Edo Shrine, also known as Nisei-Edo Shrine or Nishiuma Shrine, is a Shinto shrine located in the Setagaya ward of Tokyo. Dedicated to the kami Hōrai and Inari Ōno-miya, it was originally built in 1713 but has undergone significant changes over time, including the construction of the current main hall in 1737. The shrine's architecture reflects the Edo period style, featuring a large torii gate and a traditional-style main hall with a tiled roof.
