The area gradually became the centre of Edo and in 1655 the red-light district was moved to its current location, then known as Ryutenji, the current Senzoku. Its borders were delineated by four jinja placed at each corner, Kaiun Inari Jinja, Enomoto Inari Jinja, Akashi Inari Jinja, and Kurosuke Inari Jinja. One more jinja, Gentoku Inari, stood in front of the Yoshiwara Omon Gate, the sole entrance to the pleasure quarters.​​In 1881 these five Inari Jina were merged to form the present Yoshikawa Jinja, and just over half a century later the nearby Benzaiten Jinja was also integrated. This latter was a direct result of the Great Kanto Earthquake of September 1, 1923. Like much of Tokyo Yoshiwara was devastated by the earthquake and many of the buildings in the area were burnt down. Desperate to escape the inferno, many people fled to the nearbye Hanazono Park, now known as the Shin-Yoshiwara Park, in which a small pond, Benzen-ike, was located. Even the park offered no respite from the fire and and in desperation many people jumped into the pond : it is estimated that 155 people from the pleasure quarter lost their lives there as did another 490 from normal areas. The shrine was destroyed again in the Great Tokyo Firebombing of March 1945 and was rebuilt in 1968.
