A sort of mecca for technology enthusiasts, the shrine sells small talismans for safeguarding electronic devices from various harms.

Pretty quiet on a random Tuesday afternoon, but still photogenic~ There are many shrines in this complex, too. Plus a little museum. If you’re in the area, I would recommend going. If you are a stamp collector, as a forewarning it is looseleaf and in the same area as the museum (at least right now) As per usual, please be respectful when visiting. Especially since this a popular wedding spot. Randomly jumping into the couples photos really isn’t the way to go (as I saw some people doing while I was there).

Stumbled upon this shrine as, what turned out to be, a happy accident. If you're in the area, then I recommend stopping by. It's beautiful and the lion water feature is very impressive. It is a smaller shrine but definitely doesn't lack impact.

I’ve been here a couple of times so far. Great place to take photos. Very nice shop to the left as you enter the grounds. I’m posting about the Bon Odori event. Had some food, watched the dancers and had an overall good time. There were a lot of people there. The staff did well with crowd control. If you get a chance, this event is something you do not want to miss. A great summer tradition to enjoy.

This is one of the best shrines in Tokyo. It's a beautiful combination of older architecture and modern, with some of the most important Shinto deities honored. I highly recommend their summer festival, or going for the first shrine visit of the year.

The place is maintained really well and sort of feels modernized with buildings within the area. You can buy charms and find anime themed stuff around. I do find it a nice place for a routine morning walk when I stay around the Akihabara area. For fans of Love Live, this is the shrine u's usually hangs around in the anime. You can even go up the stairs they even use to train on (be mindful of the residents living in the area, though).
