[2025 Tokyo Attraction] Travel Guide for Ana-hachimangu Shrine (Updated Jul)

This is a power spot for good luck and wealth located about 5 minutes from Waseda Station on the Tohoku Line. I went there just before lunch for the first visit of the year, but there was a line to enter the shrine, so I had to wait a little while before I could enter. Since you have to climb stairs to enter the shrine, it may not be suitable for people with large luggage or weak legs. The shrine, with its main colors of black and green, is cool and highly recommended. #Tokyo #WinterTravel

Ana Hachiman Shrine is located at Waseda Station in Tokyo. This shrine is famous for its Ichiyou Raifu talismans. Ana Hachiman Shrine's Ichiyou Raifu talismans are unique and have been awarded at the winter solstice Fukujin Festival every year since the mid-Edo period. They are also known as gold and silver lending talismans. It is said that the Ichiyou Raifu talismans bring prosperity to business and increase your financial luck. Put them up at home at exactly midnight on any of the three days that are convenient for you: the winter solstice, New Year's Eve, or Setsubun. There is still Setsubun left this year! Be careful, Setsubun in 2025 is February 2nd!! There are also Ichiyou Raifu talismans and ofudas to carry around. This shrine does not have fortune-telling slips at the shrine office, but there are stalls lined up on the approach to the shrine where you can find them. Fortune-telling slips for each birthday. That's unusual. #Hot spots in Japan #Tokyo trip #Temples and shrines #Shrine tour

#0yentravelnovember [Details] Ana Hachiman Shrine 2-1-11 Nishi-Waseda, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 162-0051 In 1062, when Minamoto no Yoshiie (Hachiman Taro) returned home in triumph after suppressing the Oshu Rebellion, he followed the example of Yamato Takeru no Mikoto and offered his helmet and sword here, enshrined the local deity Hachiman Shrine, and enshrined it as a shrine to protect the Tohoku region for a long time. From then until the Keicho and Genna periods (1569-1623), this area was called Hachimanyama, and a small shrine was enshrined under the sacred tree. In 1636, Matsudaira Naotsugu, the head of the shogunate's archery group living in Waseda, built a target field here and enshrined Hachiman Shrine as the guardian deity of archery.

#Tokyo Attractions Anahachimangu Shrine has such a quiet atmosphere and is surrounded by tall trees, it feels like entering another world. 🌳 The red color of the Torii is particularly bright among the greenery, which instantly makes me happy and I can’t wait to explore this sacred place. ✨ I participated in a brief worship ceremony in the shrine. The atmosphere here made me feel a kind of sacred power, as if all the troubles could be blown away with the incense, and the calm mind made me more focused on the present. 💭 The paths around the shrine are also quite charming, and it's very relaxing to hear only the breeze and birdsong. 🐦 Anahachimangu Shrine is not only a great place for meditation, but also an ideal place to experience Japanese culture! 🌼 #Anahachimangu #Quiet Shrine #Soul Haven 🌸🌟

It began in 1062 (Kohei 5), when Minamoto no Yoshiie returned triumphantly from Oshu, following the example of Emperor Yamato Takeru, and offered his helmet and sword to the shrine to enshrine Hachimangu. Nowadays, the "Ichiyou Raifu" charms, which can be obtained from the winter solstice to Setsubun, have become a hot topic every year, and the shrine is especially crowded with worshippers during this period! The charms are said to bring good fortune in business, increased financial luck, career advancement, and good fortune. My personal recommendation is the large camphor tree next to the worship hall! It has a strong presence and is very attractive. Goshuin stamps are not distributed between the winter solstice and Setsubun every year. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Ana⃝Ya⃝Hata⃝miya⃝ Waseda Station → 5 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ 　　 #Tokyo sightseeing
