The current shrine buildings survived both the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake and the 1945 Tokyo firebombing, making the 1866 main hall a rare example of late-Edo period architecture still standing in Tokyo.
The shrine was relocated from its original site in present-day Ueno Park in 1625 to make way for Kan'ei-ji Temple, one of the Tokugawa shogunate's most important religious institutions.

Visit in late winter or early spring to see plum blossoms (ume) beginning to bloom on the grounds, adding seasonal beauty to your visit.
The shrine offers multiple types of goshuin (temple stamps), so take time to review all available options before choosing, as visitors report being delighted by the variety but also feeling overwhelmed by the selection.
Visit during the Setsubun festival (early February) to experience a unique 45-minute bean-throwing ceremony where children are organized by age groups in roped-off areas for safety, and shrine maidens distribute treats to adults watching from behind.
Look for the large ginkgo tree (ichō) on the grounds, which is noted as one of the shrine's visual highlights and adds to the peaceful atmosphere.
Explore the境内 (keidai/shrine grounds) to find several smaller shrines including Fuji Sengen Shrine, Mitake Shrine, Sanmine Shrine, Kotohira Shrine, Inari Shrine, and Orihime Shrine, as well as a Kōshin-tō stone monument, all packed into the compact site.
