Miyamasu Mitake

You can reach this small shrine in about 5 to 8 minutes on foot from Shibuya Station, up the slope of Miyamasuzaka. The entrance is easy to miss, since the torii sits partway up the hill and you then climb stone steps into a much quieter space than the surrounding office streets.

Plan your visit outside the midday break if you want a goshuin, as the office is often closed around noon and there may be no posted return time. The shrine is known for its rare wolf guardian statues rather than lion-dogs, and the goshuin also uses a wolf motif. Inside, you’ll find the Miyamasu Fudoson with incense, neat gravel paths, and a few memorial stones, including one linked to Emperor Meiji.
