An 11-minute walk from Zempukuji Park and Osonoi Ichikishima Shrine.
This sanctuary is located on a vast site that one would not expect to find in a residential area in Tokyo.
The straight approach after the large torii gate is the sanctuary where people and horses run once every five years during the Yabusame ritual.
It is an old-fashioned ritual.

The area around the hand-watering basin has a unique atmosphere, and when you look at it, you will see the god of payment in the back. The ancient arrangement reminds me of Izumo Shrine.

It is a Tokyo shrine that does not look like Tokyo.
Please come and feel it.

My name is Mayu Noda.
I will introduce the charm of shrines around Tokyo, which I love.
Sometimes temples too.

If you are interested in learning more about shrines and temples, please write to us with your questions. There are shrines everywhere in Japan. Akihabara in Tokyo is famous for its electric town, but there are shrines even in its back alleys.

I hope that when people from other countries visit Japan, they will feel the sanctity of shrines and clear their minds.

I am not an expert, but I would like to answer questions as I learn more myself. Once I have some of the questions finalized, I will put them on video. Please write to me.
