素盞雄神社(すさのおじんじゃ)

ここは平安時代延暦14(795)年に創建され、区内で最も広い氏子区域を持つ鎮守で、石を神として崇拝する石神信仰に基づく縁起の神社です。
地元では「天王様」とも呼ばれ親しまれています。

延暦14(795)年、奇岩が微妙な光を放ち、その光のうちに素盞雄命(すさのおのみこと・素盞雄大神)と事代主命(ことしろぬ しのみこと・飛鳥大神)が現れて信託を告げたとの伝説があり、その光る石を祀るために、素盞雄神社が創建されたと言われています。「瑞光(ずいこう)石」と呼ばれるその石は、二神を祭神として現在も境内に祀られています。

 また、松尾芭蕉の「奥の細道」旅立ちの記念碑があることでも有名です。この記念碑は「奥の細道」の千住矢立の初めの一説と芭蕉坐像が刻まれたもので、芭蕉が旅立った元禄2(1689)年からおよそ130年後の芭蕉忌に、俳聖を偲んで千住周辺の文化人たちによって建立されたものです。
