Also called Hatonomori Hachiman
Shibuya, Tokyo Prefecture
The Shogi-do hall holds a 1.2-meter keyaki-wood shogi piece honoring legendary shogi master Oyama Yasuharu.
The current main hall was rebuilt in 1993 using all-keyaki wood construction after the original was destroyed in WWII air raids, preserving over 1,000 years of shrine history.
Its Fujizuka is Tokyo's oldest miniature Mount Fuji that still stands in its original location, dating back to the Edo period.

The Fujizuka has steep, rocky footing and rope handrails, so take it slowly and wear shoes with good grip.
The shrine is exceptionally accessible with three train stations within 5 minutes walking distance: JR Sendagaya Station, Toei Oedo Line Kokuritsu-Kyogijo Station, and Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line Kita-Sando Station.
Visit in late November to see the sacred ginkgo tree at its peak golden color, which creates a stunning contrast against the shrine's dark wooden buildings. The tree towers prominently over the grounds and is considered the shrine's御神木 (sacred tree).
Beyond the main shrine, explore the peaceful Shinmei-sha sub-shrine surrounded by bamboo where you can quietly pay respects to Amaterasu Omikami.
