It was different to other temples and shrines (different colours), it´s beautiful and the torii gates path is also beautiful and great for pictures. Loved the monkey statues and it has an authentic sacred feeling to it.

A large, torii gate stands at the entrance to this shrine built in memory of those who lost their lives defending Japan. Many officials still come and offer prayer annually on August 15, the anniversary of Japan's defeat in World War II.

Large tree lined paths leading to huge gates and into the shrine. We saw many people honouoring their dead ancestors. Some of the inturred are convicted war criminals, executed by the victors. Also many martyrs (eg kamikaze) giving their life for their country/emperor. A good place to visit - included the war museum (with cafe), beautiful gardens, interesting external statues. Despite the controversy of who is interred here an interesting place to visit.

KANDA MYOJIN Kanda Myojin is a 1300-year-old shrine located in Sotokanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. The deities are enshrined at lchinomiya, Daikoku-sama (matchmaking), Ninomiya, Ebisu-sama (prosperous business), Sannomiya, and Taira no Masakado(game luck). Because it is close to the business district of Tokyo, it is a shrine that is crowded with many business people and many worshipers to benefit. #神田明神 は… 東京に鎮座して1300年の歴史を持つ 正式名称「神田神社」 千代田区外神田にある神社。 祭神は 一ノ宮…大黒様(縁結び) 二ノ宮…恵比寿様(商売繁盛) 三ノ宮…平将門(勝負運) 首都圏 東京の騒々しさとは相対して 鳥居をくぐると一転して 穏やかな空気感と力強さを感じるパワー 季節の変わり目で桜や新緑 紅葉など 様々な表情をみせるパワースポット 不安に感じ 何かに縋りたい世の中 参拝者が絶えないのも人々を引き付ける 居心地がいい場所で有り続けているから では無いでしょうか…????

An important cathedral in the design of Dr. Josiah Condor. This time, I visited for coverage. The appearance of standing in this very quiet area seems to cleanse your heart. Even those who are not interested in architecture can feel the times when they come here.
