Kanda Shrine

Kanda Shrine

Kanda Myojin, located in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is a historic shrine established in 730 AD, where Tokugawa Ieyasu is said to have prayed for victory in battle. It is the chief deity for 108 towns including Kanda, Nihonbashi, and Akihabara, and is beloved by those wishing for prosperous business and strong relationships. Being close to Akihabara, it also provides protective amulets for IT safety. The Kanda Festival takes place in odd-numbered years in May, bringing the streets to life with portable shrines. In recent years, the cultural exchange facility "EDOCCO" has been established, drawing attention as a shrine where tradition and modernity harmonize.
