Tokyo Daijingu

東京大神宮

Tokyo · Kanto

A Shinto shrine enshrining deities from the Grand Shrine of Ise, built in 1880 as "O-Ise-sama in Tokyo" so residents could worship without traveling. It hosted Japan's first Shinto-style wedding ceremony in 1901 and relocated to its current Iidabashi site in 1928 after the Great Kanto Earthquake.

Why we picked it

Beloved by young Japanese as the "shrine of love" for matchmaking charms, but almost entirely unknown to foreign visitors despite ranking among Tokyo's most-visited shrines by locals.
