History
The shrine was built in the early Meiji period[3]: 89 by Jingu-kyo[4] so people in Tokyo could worship the deities enshrined at Grand Shrine of Ise from afar. Back then it was originally called Hibiya Daijingu.[2]
In 1901, a wedding took place at the shrine, being the first Shinto wedding held in an urban area.[5]: 286
After the Kanto Earthquake, the shrine was moved to Iidabashi in 1928 and renamed to Iidabashi Daijingu. Then after World War 2, the place changed its name to Tokyo Daijingu.[2]
