Hatsumode - first visit in the new year so busy but great atmosphere. The shrine is definitely worth visiting and is bigger than it first appears. You can pray at the shrine, but lucky charms, fortunes etc. It's not so big that it becomes overly crowded and there is free parking for bikes. There is some old fire fighting equipment and the cemetery is very peaceful.

Beautiful local shrine and perfect place to pray on NY day. About half an hour of queue time. Quite serene at other times of the year. At the top of a nice street with small ships and cafes

Beautiful shrine, I was particularly keen to visit this shrine because it is to commemorate a scholar and a samurai in the late Edo period.

It's a popular shrine and it's a 30mins walkable distance from Sangen-jaya Sta. I would recommend the Setagaya line. Parking: available Stamp fee: 300 to 500¥

Shoin Jinja is located in the middle of Setagaya city and is accessible by Setagaya line or you can take a long walk from Sangenjeya station too. It's big and has a lot of parking space. Bring your best camera or a pro photographer for shooting your own events too.
