Akasaka Hikawa Shrine Official Website
https://www.akasakahikawa.or.jp/

Akasaka is a quiet and exclusive residential area.
This is the place that Kaishuu Katsu, a famous samurai in the final days of the Tokugawa Shogunate, chose as his final home.

In the precincts of the shrine, which was founded 1,000 years ago, an unnamed burial mound lies.
This one is 1,700~.
The sanctuary is quiet, peaceful, and timeless.
Please come and feel it!

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

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.
