Ichigaya Funagawaramachi, 市谷船河原町 Ichigaya Funagawara cho,
Funakawara "Boat river bed"
Funagawara and Funakawara are given for the name.
Close to the Ushigome Gomon of Edo castle. It was a wetland with rivers and valleys, so the castle builders could use all the water to dig the Sotobori 外堀 "Outer Canal".
One theory says one river was large enough to have boats (funa) dragged all the way here to the riverbed (kawara).
Nearby is a slope called
Oosaka 逢坂 / 逢坂 / あいざか - "slope of the meeting". （おうさか） 大坂 Great Slope.
ai 逢 can also mean : to meet someone.
In the Heian period, a samurai became 武蔵守 the supervisor of the Musashi area. His name was
小野美佐吾 Ono no Misago.
While he was visiting the area, he saw a beautiful girl, サネカズラ Sanekazura, and they fell in love. Then he had to leave and back in Kyoto he was killed.
When the girl got the news, she had a dream that she would meet him again on this slope. When she went there, thought she saw him going up, hurried after him but missed a step, and fell down to her death.

kitsune 狐 fox - 茶の木稲荷 Chanoki Inari
Once a fox living in the mountains of 市ヶ谷八幡 Ichigaya Hachiman pierced his eye by accident with a branch of a chanoki 茶の木 tea tree. He was very sick for a long time but then got healed. He was in fact the messenger of the 稲荷様 Inari Deity.
The shrine was then named in his honor.
Chanoki Inari 茶の木稲荷 / 茶ノ木稲荷神社 Inari and the Tea Tree
Ichigaya Hachimancho, Shinjuku, and other locations
.......................................................................
- quote from Nihonbashi -
Chanoki-Jinja Shrine, popular with local people called "Ochanoki-sama" (Dear tea tree).
The enshrined deity of Chanoki-Jinja Shrine is "Inari-sama." The grounds of the shrine were originally premises as broad as 1 hectare of the Hotta family served as chief minister, and was the lord of Sakura Domain in Shimosa Province in the Tokugawa period. It has been reported from the old days that tea trees trimmed into a round shape were planted on the turf around the Yashiro, or shrine, and that the green of the tea trees on the turf was truly a scene of splendor.
In 1985, Chanoki Jinja became a member for pilgrimages to the shrines of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune in Nihonbashi.
