Kanda Myojin Shrine

神田明神

Tokyo · Kanto

Kanda Myojin has stood on its present site since 1616 and is the shrine Tokyo merchants and businesses come to for commercial luck, its main hall finished in vermilion and gold. The grounds are free and open at all hours; the separate culture hall and museum charge ¥300. It is nine minutes' walk from Ochanomizu Station.

Why we picked it

Despite its significance, many tourists overlook it in favor of more famous temples and shrines.
