Hanabusa Inari Shrine

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.

Kanda Myoujin Shrine

Looking for that elusive manga or retro game is akin to a treasure hunt. If you are superstitious and need some help from heaven, you may want to pay a visit to this beautiful shrine, one of the oldest in Tokyo, only a seven-minute walk from the station. Due to the shrine’s close proximity to the Electric Town, IT companies have come to revere the place and regularly seek out its protection by attending blessing ceremonies there. Individuals can get their share of good luck by buying their high-tech omamori (charm).
