Kanda Shrine

Italy

Kanda Shrine

This shrine has a history dating back to the 8th century and had been highly regarded under the Edo shogunate. The current red-pillared structure has been rebuilt after being completely destroyed in the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. The Kanda Matsuri festival, which takes place in mid-May every other

year is one of the largest in Tokyo and is a sight to behold. Arrive before noon or the shrine gets packed with spectators.
