This temple is a little our of the way and doesnt seem to be as visited as some of the other attractions we visited. We werent able to go in to the temple itself (not sure if we were just unlucky or if its one of the many that dont allow access). The site is very interesting and covers the history of the 47 ronin (yes - the Keanu Reeves film is based on this story!). The site is well preserved - worth a visit if you're in the area. We spent a couple of hours in the area - but a lot of that time was spent sitting!

This well-known temple stands next to Tokyo Tower, and its grounds contain the mausoleum of the Tokugawa family.
looking forward to seeing the cherry blossoms here again this spring. it's a great temple to have in your neighborhood and worth a visit if you are outside the neighborhood because of the iconic views with Tokyo tower right behind it. don't miss all the lovely vantage points around the area too... there are even some nice plum blossoms down the street too in the early spring!

It was a Buddhist temple. Absolutely picturesque. A well maintained Shrine for praying for good health, happiness relationship and much more. Full of fox statues. The red banners fluttering were erected by petitioners for health, safety and wealth.

there is a cute little puppy up at the top sometimes... there are a lot of stairs here that have a legend behind them. I've seen the shrine at all four seasons, and it is always beautiful. don't miss the cheese shop nearby and the nhk museum which is free.

We attended our daughter's Shinto wedding ceremony at this beautiful shrine last week. It is an oasis in the middle of a crazy busy city. I listened carefully, no sound of the city penetrated the peaceful gardens. The Shinto priests were so incredibly kind and helpful during the ceremony. The shrine staff helped all of us guests throughout the event. Our daughter and son-in-law had helpers for every stage. Two women helped our daughter with her makeup, hair, and getting into the beautiful kimono. I definitely recommend it if you would like a peaceful, serene interlude during your time in Tokyo.
