A sanctuary near Shibuya Station, where buildings from the Edo period still remain.
The shrine is also the origin of Kinnomaru, a Buddhist monk and warrior from the late Heian period, who prayed for success before making a direct appeal to Ieyasu Tokugawa, the first shogun of the Edo period.
The shrine is where Kasuga-no-Kakari prayed for success before appealing directly to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first Shogun of the Edo period, regarding Iemitsu.
If you have a strong wish, God will grant it.
There is also a legend that Minamoto no Yoritomo sent the Kaneo cherry tree from Kamakura in memory of Kaneo-maru.
The shrine grounds and the Kaneomaru Mikageido Hall are famous places that were even depicted in the Edo period's Edo Meisho Zue (Edo period famous places).
It is amazing that such a historic shrine remains so close to Shibuya Station.
Please come and experience it for yourself.
