亀戸香取神社
その昔、亀戸は亀の形をした小さな島で、亀島とか亀津島と呼ばれていたといわれています。
社伝によれば、天智天皇４年（665）藤原鎌足が東国へ降った際、この島に香取大神を勧請し、太刀一振りを奉納して旅の安全を祈願しました。これが亀戸香取神社の起源であるといわれています。
承平天慶の乱に際し、平将門の追討に向かった藤原秀郷は先勝祈願のために当社に参籠しました。乱の鎮定後、奉賽として弓矢を奉納し勝矢と命名しました。５月５日に行われる勝矢祭は、この故事に因むものです。
このような由緒や武道の神として崇敬された香取大神の神徳に因み、現在ではスポーツ振興の神として広く崇敬を集めています。
明治５年（1872）村社に列格。昭和20年（1945）空襲で社殿が焼失し、同23年（1948）再建。現在の社殿は同63年（1988）に落成したものです。
また、神輿は担ぐと屋根と銅と台座が別々の動きをするという珍しいもので、俗に「こんにゃく神輿」と呼ばれています。全国でも九州とここの２基しかない貴重なものです。
境内には亀戸の名の由来の亀が井戸もありますので、一度ご覧になってみて下さい。
