Often described as Akihabara’s best-kept secret, this tiny Shinto shrine is a hidden gem tucked away in a narrow alley near not far from Akihabara Station, just off the main street behind the electronics shops. Dedicated to Uka-no-Mitama-no-Kami, a kami (deity) associated with food, agriculture, and prosperity, it was originally founded during the Edo period and was relocated and rebuilt after World War II. Despite its modest size, it retains a quiet dignity amid the neon chaos of Akihabara. As all inari shrines, it features a red torii (gate), stone fox guardians, and a compact courtyard, all nestled between buildings. It’s easy to miss unless you’re looking for it, which makes stumbling upon it feel like a secret discovery.
