Kanda Myojin is an historic Shinto shrine in the Kanda area. The Shrine has been restored many times. It was first built about 1270 years ago near the modern Otemachi district. It was moved to Kanda-dai at the beginning of the Edo era, and then changed to its current location in 1616. It was destroyed in the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923, and then rebuilt in 1934. Tokyoites come here to pray for success in business, good health and happy marriage. Kanda Myojin enshrines three Kami: Daikokunen, the God of good harvest and matrimony, Ebisu, the God of fishermen and businessmen, and Taira no Masakado, who was a Samurai who rebelled against the Heian government and was later elevated to the status of kami out of reverence. Kanda Myojin is the home shrine of the Kanda Matsuri, held every two years in May. In Kanda Myojin you can buy special o-mamori (amulets) which have the power to protect your computer against virus attacks.

It is conveniently located in Bunkyo City, positioned near Ueno Park and the University of Tokyo, which makes it a popular spot for students to pray for good grades and inscribe ema (wooden plaques) with their academic goals. The shrine is also abundant with seasonal flowers and plays host to lively events throughout the year, including the Plum Blossom Festival, Tenjin Festival, and Chrysanthemum Festival. The shrine was initially founded in 458 as a place of worship for Ame-no-Tajikarao, the god of physical strength. Later, in 1355 the building expanded and became one of the many shrines dedicated to Tenjin, the deified spirit of famous scholar and politician Sugawara-no-Michizane. The grounds feature beautiful shrine buildings designed in the traditional Shinto architectural style, some which are decorated with colorful carvings of Japanese legends. The Main Hall (or Honden) exemplifies this artistry. Other notable structures are Yushima Tenjin Treasury, a small museum that holds a number of cultural artifacts and paintings, and Omotesando, the copper torii gate at the shrine’s entrance. The torii was designated as a Tangible Cultural Property by Tokyo.
