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.

The deity of this town is Hiranuma Shrine. I think that Mr. Suitengu would be better than that. It is said that its origin began with the pick-up and worshiping the shrine of Suitengu in the waterway of Shiota, and it became popular year by year. It is a story that makes you cry a little, such as worshiping the 8-year-old Emperor Antoku who entered the god of the god in Dannoura.
