[2025 Tokyo Attraction] Travel Guide for Yushima Shrine (Updated Jul)

When you think of the "god of learning" in Tokyo, you think of Yushima Tenmangu Shrine. During exam season, it's crowded with people who come to pray for success! You'll be amazed at the number of votive plaques overflowing. My personal recommendation is to go around to the back of the main hall. There is also a proper offering box, so why not visit from this place closest to the god, rather than just from the front? ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❥❥History It was founded in the second year of Emperor Yuryaku (458). In 1355, the local people of Yushima enshrined Sugawara no Michizane and enshrined him. Then, in 1478, Ota Dokan rebuilt the shrine. He was highly revered by the Tokugawa family and was widely worshipped by intellectuals and common people alike. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Yushima Tenmangu Shrine 🚉Yushima Station → 🚶‍♀️ 2 minute walk 🚉Ueno Hirokoji Station → 🚶‍♀️ 5 minute walk 🚉Hongo 3-chome Station → 🚶‍♀️ 10 minute walk 🚉Okachimachi Station → 🚶‍♀️ 8 minute walk 🚉Ueno Okachimachi Station → 🚶‍♀️ 5 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Yushima Tenmangu Shrine #Prayer for success #Visiting shrines #Tokyo sightseeing #Tokyo trip

◾️Sakanou Cafe 📍2-22-14 Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0034 🕰️11:00-19:00 Hours may change, so check before you go! This shop, which serves delicious creative shaved ice that brings out the flavor of the ingredients, is located right in the middle of Yushima Tenjin and Kanda Myojin, Sakanoue Cafe. From the menu, which is all attractive, I ordered the "Camembert Raspberry" shaved ice 🍧 that was available that day. It was so delicious that it overturned any shaved ice I had eaten before, and the cheese flavor made me want to drink wine, making it like a snack 🧀 The accompanying pepper and honey allowed me to change the flavor, and I enjoyed it until the very end. I also got a little bit of the "Hori Mitsu Hana" that my friend had ordered, and it was also delicious with plenty of almonds! Because it is very popular, about 50 groups are waiting within 30 minutes of opening, but you can sign in and wait, so you can go out while you wait. (We signed in around 11:15 and returned around 14:00, but there were already people who had signed in after us, so we lined up at the front of the line that had been called and were shown in within 5 minutes) Ueno and Okachimachi are nearby, so you can spend your waiting time in a fulfilling way. *Cash not accepted Cashless payment #Tokyo #TokyoGourmet #ShavedIce #Yushima

I went to a popular neo-izakaya that is retro yet somehow modern! "Taisho Shokudo Yushima Hall" in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo 🍺 The interior of the restaurant has a retro atmosphere with posters that evoke the Showa era. The neon lights stand out and make it very stylish 💕 The drink menu is extensive and all the food was delicious ✨ Access: Daiichi Tenjin Building, 3-34-8 Yushima, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo (About 2 minutes walk from Yushima Station on the Chiyoda Line) #Tokyo #TokyoGourmet #NeoIzakaya #gw2022jp

Address: 3-30-1 Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo How to get there: I recommend walking from JR Okachimachi Station! It takes just under 10 minutes, and it's easy to find as it's a straight road from the south exit. You'll walk along a straight road called "The Path of Learning," and there are cafes and delicious looking restaurants lined up, so just walking is fun. 🙆‍♀️ If you don't want to walk that much, I recommend going from Yushima Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line! It's just a stone's throw away from Exit 3. The Plum Festival is on until March 8th, and you can get a plum festival stamp only during this period! ! I went there for this~ The design is cute, and it's irresistible for those who love collecting goshuin stamps, isn't it? 🥺🤍 (By the way, goshuin stamps are 500 yen for both the plum festival limited edition and the regular version) As of mid-February, the plum blossoms are about 50% or 60% in bloom. Even at 50% or 60%, they are still blooming pretty beautifully🌸 I went on a weekday morning, so most of the food stalls were closed, so if you're going for the food stalls, I highly recommend going on weekends and holidays! Definitely~ #Tokyo #YushimaTenmangu #PlumFestival #trip2022

Yushima Tenmangu Shrine (Yushima Tenjin) A shrine associated with learning, located at 3-30-1 Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo. There is a plum garden on the grounds, and the Japanese garden was beautiful. There is a stone reclining cow called "Nadeushi" next to the Chozuya (purification fountain). My legs were hurting, so I went to rub them.

Yushima Tenmangu Shrine has been one of Tokyo's most famous Tenmangu Shrines since ancient times. It is also known as Yushima Tenjin.

Although I am an atheist, Although occasionally visiting and praying to the painted horse in temples or shrines. Write phrases such as "Long live the motherland", "Love our China", "Safe travels". And the "qualified for further education" that must be worshipped every time... Conscientiously complete a set of worship rituals. There is a wonderful effect that can calm the inner self. Therefore, when I learned about the Taiman Shrine on Tang Island, It is the famous place in Bunkyo Ward where wishes come true. He chuckled to himself-- One week ago, I was fortunate enough to be admitted to the University of Tsukuba. It's time to have a celebratory drink alone. Who would have thought that there was really a thing called "sweet wine" at the door. It's non-alcoholic rice wine. Facing the security guard, I thank him and raise my paper cup to drink. It's also a kind of heroic spirit to be a stranger in a foreign land! The environment in the garden is beautiful, with many plum blossoms.

Hmm, another drink please, not drunk yet. 📍Detailed address: 3-30-1 Yushima Tenmangu Shrine, Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo
