Tomioka Hachimangu

富岡八幡宮

Tokyo · Kanto

The largest Hachiman shrine in Tokyo and the historic birthplace of organized sumo, with a vivid vermilion hall and a lively monthly antique market in Monzen-Nakacho.

Why we picked it

In the old shitamachi east of the river, away from the standard tourist circuit.
