Chiyoda Inari Shrine was said to have begun with calling upon Fushimi-Inari in Kyoto when Ōta Dōkan built the Chiyoda (Edo) castle in 1457 (the first year of Chōroku). After that, in 1602 (the seventh year of Keichō) when Tokugawa Ieyasu extended the Edo castle, it was moved to Shibuya Miyamasu-chō.
