10 Sacred & Religious Sites in Shibuya / Harajuku / Ebisu That You Shouldn't Miss

June 23, 2021 Russell Mellin

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

Reviewed By yasuhiros101

this review is for travelers by tokyo local. Konno Hachimangu is a shrine that takes a role at Shibuya.It has been built more than 900 years ago, and has been loved by the local people even today. It is near to Shibuya station station  which is the 2nd busiest station in the world but it is quiet and people can feel holiness. Although it is not large, it can give you the atmosphere of Local Japanese shrine.

Daienji Temple

Reviewed By alexandraremi

A temple of a small scale but full of statues. Went there en route Hotel Gajoen Tokyo. It didn't fall us. It's sacred and serene. Quite a number of locals visiting and praying. The statue full of gold leaves was the Buddha of Heal. It's believed that the spot you adhered the gold leaf the exact spot on your body would be healed.
