The Hie Shrine, located in Tokyo, Japan, is a popular Shinto shrine known for its annual Sannō Matsuri festival. Established in 1478 by Ōta Dōkan, the shrine was relocated multiple times due to fires and bombings, with the current structure dating back to 1958. Visitors can enjoy the shrine's unique architecture, including escalators to help climb the hill it sits on and a series of Torii gates reminiscent of Fushimi Inari Taisha. With its rich history and cultural significance, the Hie Shrine is a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists looking to experience traditional Japanese spirituality.
Hie Shrine is a beautiful Shinto shrine with no crowds. I highly reccomend going early morning. Here you can purchase your unique lucky charm from Japan.
