Shinto shrine
Kanda Myojin is a historical shrine famous for bestowing its blessings in marriage and business prosperity, enhancing luck in battle while warding off danger and disaster.
Located in Tokyo's central business district, many firms come to worship at the beginning of the year, as this shrine cannot be ignored if seeking fortune in business.
Also popular as a holy land for anime lovers, items such as amulet charms and wooden wish-granting plaques designed in collaboration with anime makers are sold here.
Within the shrine grounds, there is a cultural exchange hall called EDOCCO, a facility offering experiences in Japanese culture.
Held every other year, the Kanda Matsuri, a major festival featuring a long parade of several thousand people through the central area of Tokyo, is bustling with spectators.
