Only 5 minutes away from Shinagawa Shrine, Ebara Shrine was founded in 709 and has a famous festival involving mikoshi being carried through water during June.
The shrine is just a small diversion from the Old Tokaido route. If you look to the west from Shinagawa Bridge, you will see a vermillion painted bridge slightly upstream that crosses to the shrine.
Ebara Shrine is more ornate than Shinagawa shrine. The carvings are detailed and it certainly looks stunning.
