Located right outside the exit of Kagurazaka Station! Excellent access If you go straight from the torii gate, you'll be surrounded by modern buildings, and if you don't know where it is, you might be surprised. It has an atmosphere that makes you want to relax, with rare lion-dog statues, and a stylish cafe on the grounds! More than anything, this year is the Year of the Rabbit. It was the White Rabbit of Inaba who arranged the marriage between Okuninushi-no-Mikoto, who is famous for nation-building, and Yakami-hime. The "Rabbit Fortune" is based on this myth, and its slightly rounded shape makes it indescribably cute. This is one of the shrines in Tokyo that you should visit this year! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Aka⃝ Castle⃝ Shrine⃝ 🚉 Kagurazaka Station → 🚶‍♀️ 2 minute walk 🚉 Ushigome Kagurazaka Station → 🚶‍♀️ 8 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Akagi Shrine #The White Rabbit of Inaba #Kengo Kuma #Kagurazaka #Tokyo Sightseeing

A shrine with a beautiful contrast between wood and glass 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 Akagi Shrine is the guardian deity of the historic Ushigome area, said to have been founded in 1300. Built within the shrine grounds, it was renovated in 2010 under the supervision of Kengo Kuma as part of the "Akagi Shrine Renovation Project" with a modern and innovative design. It has also won the Good Design Award. The building was designed to blend in with the Kagurazaka area and to be a base for Kagurazaka culture. The main shrine building has an open design that boldly uses wood and glass. It is a new modern building, but the history of the shrine is firmly rooted in it. It is built on a hill, but this is because the small hills and slopes were used as artificial ground. This is another reason to pay attention to this place! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥLocation: Akagi Shrine x Park Court Kagurazaka ꕥAddress: 1-10 Akagi Motomachi, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo ꕥAccess: 🚉🚏Kagurazaka Station → approx. 3-minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Modern architecture #Architecture #Architectural design #Architecture lover #Shrine #Shrine tour #Temple and shrine

Founded in the second year of Shōan in the Kamakura period (1300), it has been destroyed by disasters multiple times and rebuilt several times. The current building was newly designed by the famous architect Kengo Kuma in the 22nd year of Heisei (2010). This building won the 2011 Japan Best Design Award.

#cherryblossom2024 💮✌️ I had an exciting adventure during our vacation when I visited the lively city of Japan. The arrival of spring transformed the place into a paradise, and walking around Akagi Shrine made us feel rejuvenated. The breathtaking scenery in this tranquil sanctuary captivated us, leaving us with unforgettable moments. In the year 2010, this illustrious Akagi shrine underwent a profound transformation, orchestrated with meticulous care by the esteemed architect Kengo Kuma. The result is nothing short of awe-inspiring; a contemporary rendition of a sacred Shinto sanctuary that carries the weight of history. Alongside its spiritual significance, this hallowed ground also serves as a vibrant hub for recurring markets and enchanting seasonal festivities. Adding a touch of cosmopolitan charm, nestled within its sacred precincts, one can discover the embodiment of indulgence in the form of Akagi Café, a delightful Italian establishment that invites visitors to savor its delectable offerings in an unconstrained and relaxed atmosphere. This extravagant and enchanting refuge has created a lasting memory within me. The pleasure of revisiting and cherishing every moment in this exceptional sanctuary is truly unrivaled. 💮🏵🌸✨️#mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip
