Sui Jinja shrine in Tsukiji Market

Sui JInja shrine 3, Yonehana (Tsukiji Market) CITY GUIDE

I dropped in at Sui Jinja shrine (水神社) within Tsukiji Market.
I heard that is also a birthplace of the Imperial Navy of Japan

The enshrined deity is 弥都波能売神 (Mizuhanome no kami). It is the leading god of water in Japan.
