Feb 2017

This one sits a few streets back from the Chuo-Sobu Line (Yellow JR) amid an area of small shops and apartments.The shrine is quite pleasant and attractive and worth a look. Access is via the Asaksabashi train station and head north and to the right.

This was the first shrine we encountered while in Japan. It is quiet and off the beaten path allowing you the have an intimate moment alone to enjoy the beauty of the shrine; unlike the larger, more popular shrines.

The area

Address

Neighbourhood: Ueno, Asakusa

Traces of the history and culture of the Edo (old Tokyo) era remain vividly in Ueno and Asakusa. Spacious Ueno Park is a great place to relax and visit a variety of different museums and galleries. At Ameyoko which starts in front of Ueno station, the grocery stores and clothing shops are crammed alongside fishmongers. It gets particularly busy at the end of the year, when many people go on shopping sprees. The town of Asakusa, developed around Sensoji temple, has many shops selling goods and clothing from old Japan, making it a great place for souvenir hunting. It's also known for various annual festivals, and the whole district gets involved with the huge Sanja Festival in May.

It was founded in the Heian period.

Jan 2023 • Solo

It is located right next to JR Asakusabashi Station. The name "Ginkgo" comes from the fact that samurai would hold ginkgo branches and pray for victory during the Heian period, and it has a very long history. There is also an Inari Shrine on the grounds. It was a very calm place, even in the city.
