At a Glance
The shrine's official name is actually Eiju Inari, but became known as Goto Inari because the feudal lord allowed local residents to visit only on days containing 5 or 10 (go-to) during the Edo period.
Despite being one of Tokyo's tiniest shrines with no traditional grounds, it's so popular for goshuin that visitors regularly wait 60-120 minutes in the narrow street, with each hand-written seal taking about 5 minutes to complete.

The shrine gives its name to Goto-dori Street, just as the nearby Ippachi Inari names Ippachi-dori, creating a network of streets in Kanda named after their local fox deity shrines.
Tucked between office buildings, the shrine operates an unusual cafe called 'Osuzu no Himo' in its north wing, blending sacred space with modern Tokyo cafe culture in just a few square meters.
