Kameido Tenjin Shrine

亀戸天神社

Tokyo · Kanto

Kameido Tenjin is a Tokyo shrine dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of learning, where students come to pray before examinations. Its wisteria trellises are the most famous sight, flowering in late April and early May above arched drum bridges and a carp pond. The grounds are free and open at all hours, with the main hall open 6:00 AM–5:00 PM.

Why we picked it

Many mainstream travelers overlook this shrine in favor of more famous sites like Senso-ji.
