Discover new side of Tokyo
Thank you for visiting our site "TOKYO JINJA"
This site is a 'Town strollers' information site, focused on shrines in Tokyo.
It is said that there are 88,000 shrines in Japan. Each shrine has their own individual history and oral tradition, and has been valued by people who have been living there since ancient times, as a place of faith, and as a place of regional exchange. Contemporary Japanese people still have the same religious faith and tradition in their hearts too.
Strolling in Tokyo by focusing on "JINJA" (shinto shrines), which are deeply rooted in the Japanese lifestyle and culture, you will be able to feel the contemporary atmosphere of Tokyo, and also see the townscape that remains old in places and the realistic Japanese life landscapes.
