A Storied Temple in the Heart of Nagatacho

Located in the central district of Tokyo, the Hie Shrine has a long history. This shrine, located close to the Prime Minister's official residence, is a space full of worshipers and a rich atmosphere.

Easy Worship with an Escalator

The approach from Akasaka Mitsuke has many steps, which may be difficult for the elderly or those with mobility concerns. However, an escalator is provided from the Nagatacho side, making worship easy and charming.

Gods of Celebrations, Abundant Goshuin Varieties

The shrine's main deity is Okuninushi-no-Mikoto, the god of prosperity in business, household safety, and agricultural abundance. Goshuin stamps of various styles are available, allowing visitors to choose their favorites.

Next to the Prime Minister's Official Residence

Nagatacho is the center of politics. The Hie Shrine is right next to the Prime Minister's official residence, perhaps symbolizing prayers for the safety and success of the national leaders. The serene atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, brings peace to the mind.

Enjoy the Sophisticated Streets after Worship

After worship, strolling around the Akasaka district is also a pleasure. Here, you can enjoy Tokyo's elegant streets with high-end brand shops, fashionable cafes, and popular restaurants.

Experience a unique journey that combines tradition and innovation, which can only be felt in this place.

Beautiful and peaceful. Serene and lush. No ticket needed to enter. There was a tour bus stopped for a visit at the time which was a bummer or it would’ve been even more tranquil. Must see if you’re in Tokyo!

Entry to the shrine is free. The shrine is located in the city center, but has many greenery surrounding it. The map of the temple is provided in the photos. As shown in the map, there are 2 entrance - one that leads you to the red Tori gates while the other one leads you to the temple directly. You will have to climb up flights of stairs at the Tori gates, while at the other entrance, they have escalators up and down at both sides of the stairs. Really a safe saver. In 🇯🇵, the way to pray or worship is to make a bow and then throw the money into the offertory box. Bow twice, clap your hands twice and then make another bow deeply Locals come here to pray for blessings in love, success and prosperity.

This was my favourite shrine we visited in Tokyo, it was very quiet before 10am anytime we went and is a great unobstructed photo opportunity for tori shrines. There is a little shop where you can buy charms and dedications in the form of white foxes or tori gates etc. We also saw some weddings and kimono phot shoots happening here. Very active and very beautiful spot.

The Tori Gates here are amazing. It’s like you’re entering a portal to a different dimension. The place is also spacious. They even sell charms here. There’s also a very long escalator available which is great for senior citizens and tired people. We had a lot of great photos here and videos as well. The staff here are also polite. While they are not fluent in speaking english, they really did went out of their way to explain the charms that they’re selling. Totally recommended
