Avoid visiting during New Year (hatsumode) and the biennial Kanda Matsuri festival in mid-May when wait times can exceed 60 minutes.

Shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu personally paid respects here during the Edo period, making it one of the few shrines honored by both the warrior class and common citizens.

Despite standing in one of Tokyo's most expensive real estate areas, the shrine has been rebuilt multiple times due to fires and earthquakes, yet maintains its 8th-century spiritual lineage.

Visit from JR Ochanomizu Station (5-minute walk) rather than Akihabara to approach through the traditional neighborhood and appreciate the contrast between ancient shrine grounds and modern Tokyo.

This 1,270-year-old shrine sells IT device amulets and has become a pilgrimage site for Akihabara tech enthusiasts, bridging ancient Shinto tradition with modern otaku culture.

Look for the unique IT device amulets (omamori) that blend Shinto tradition with modern technology, reflecting the shrine's proximity to Akihabara's electronics district.

After paying respects at the main hall, explore the modern EDOCCO cultural hall within the shrine grounds where corporate events and conventions are held.

Pay special attention to the deities enshrined here—Daikokuten and Ebisu (two of the Seven Lucky Gods) along with the historical warrior Taira no Masakado.

Plan extra time to visit the Mizuno Toshikata Monument and other cultural properties within the grounds, as this 1,270-year-old shrine (founded 730 AD) contains multiple Registered Tangible Cultural Properties.
