• Unlike the busy Kanda Myojin and Yushima Tenmangu shrines nearby, Tsumakoi Shrine is a hidden gem where you can worship quietly and peacefully without crowds, making it an ideal stop on a walking route between those two major shrines.
• The shrine is tucked between buildings on a cliff-like elevation, requiring you to climb stairs from street level to reach the torii gate and then turn west into the compact grounds.
• Ask for the unique amulet called 'Yoshimu Takarabune' (Good Dream Treasure Ship), a rare offering based on an Edo-period woodblock print discovered at the shrine and created from a 2013 Japanese painting made for reconstruction prayers.
• The main hall (honden) is located on the left (south) side of the grounds after entering, while the Inari shrine stands separately on the right (north) side near the amulet office, so be sure to visit both structures during your worship.
• Look for love-themed amulets with heart designs and ema prayer plaques showing Yamato Takeru and Princess Ototachibana. They tie to the shrine’s romantic origin and its name meaning “longing for a spouse.”
