What other travelers are saying about Kanda Myojin Shrine
This beautiful Shinto shrine is a must-visit, with a lovely souvenir shop that appears to be newly built. There’s also a charming restaurant on-site where we enjoyed a delicious meal. The overall atmosphere of the place is serene and inviting. I highly recommend stopping by, both for the spiritual experience and the excellent food.
The grounds are very well maintained and beautiful to look at. With so many temples and shrines on our trip, you have to keep up your interest with the special features of each one.
It was definitely not as crowded here as at other sites.
Kanda-jinja is an absolutely stunning shrine that was one of my favorite places to visit across my entire trip. The beautifully maintained grounds and peaceful atmosphere greatly enriched my visit to this historic shrine, which was moved to this location in 1616, though it was originally established in 730—nearly 1,300 years ago.
There is also an adjacent gift shop that is accessible from the shrine grounds, featuring a wide array of goods as well as a café that serves ice cream cones and amazake, among other things. In my opinion, this is an absolute must-visit for anyone in the area!

I came here to participate in Japan’s New Year celebration! The atmosphere is lively, with many activity stalls around the venue, and the buildings are beautiful!
A beautiful shinto shrine surrounded by modern buildings and located just next to the colorful and chaotic Akihabara.
If you need some quiet time before diving into Akiba again, this is the right spot.
