I would like to introduce a record of the shrines and temples I visited in Tokyo, and the goshuin tour.
Check the official information about the differences between Sakura Jingu's monthly rotation goshuin, goshuin handwritten directly in your book and pre-written goshuin on a separate sheet, and the distribution conditions of goshuin book. We will also introduce access and maps from Sakurashinmachi Station.
Koiwa Shrine's former goshuin/precinct photos and access from Koiwa Station according to official information. We have summarized the points that need to be confirmed in advance at the goshuin reception and a map.
Imado Shrine in Taito, Tokyo, is known for matchmaking and beckoning cats. Earlier goshuin and grounds photographs are presented alongside the official separate-sheet goshuin policy and current visiting information.
Matsuchiyama Shoden in Asakusa is the familiar name of Honryuin Temple, known for daikon and money-pouch motifs. Alongside a Daisho Kangiten goshuin from an earlier visit, this guide distinguishes the main hall's opening hours from the temple office's hours.
Shoin Shrine in Setagaya, Tokyo, enshrines Yoshida Shoin. Earlier goshuin photographs are accompanied by official access information and advice on checking office closures. This guide concerns Setagaya, rather than the shrine of the same name in Hagi.
Kitano Shrine in Arai, Nakano, is affectionately known as Arai Tenjin. Its earlier goshuin features a plum seal associated with Sugawara no Michizane and the inscription “Arai Tenjin Kitano Shrine.” Neighbouring Arai Yakushi Baishoin is a separate temple, so check the two sites' goshuin arrangements independently.
Arai Yakushi Baishoin in Nakano is a Shingon sect temple known for its visits to the Yakushi. I have kept the photo of goshuin that I received previously, and have organized the official visit time and transportation. Depending on the reception/memorial situation, we may not be able to accommodate your desired goshuin, so please don't make too many plans.
Takagi Shrine in Oshiage, Sumida, is known for rice-ball motifs and monthly goshuin. Alongside photographs from an earlier visit, this guide summarises the official November 2026 dates, offerings and inscription conditions. Limited designs apply only to the periods stated.
Matsushima Shrine stands among the buildings of Nihonbashi Ningyocho and enshrines Daikokujin as part of the Seven Lucky Gods route. Earlier goshuin show both its shrine name and the deity; this guide distinguishes regular inscriptions from Seven Lucky Gods offerings.
Tomioka Hachimangu, popularly known as Hachiman-sama of Fukagawa. I have left the goshuin that I received previously and a photo of the temple grounds, and added official traffic information and parking precautions due to construction. This is a guide for those visiting the shrine in Tomioka, Koto Ward, not to be confused with Hachimangu Shrine of the same name in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Oshiage Tobiki Inari Shrine is a shrine that conveys history along with the sacred ginkgo tree. We introduced the goshuin and photos of the shrine grounds that we received from previous visits, and organized access and where to check based on guidance from the Tokyo Association of Shinto Shrines. It is a different shrine from the nearby Takagi Shrine.
Famous for Kaminarimon Gate and Nakamise, Sensoji issues goshuin at Yogodo Hall, west of the main hall. Our earlier photographs are accompanied by official information on where to go, opening hours and available inscriptions.
Known locally as Sanja-sama, Asakusa Shrine stands beside Sensoji Temple. Its goshuin counter is separate from Sensoji's at Yogodo Hall. Earlier goshuin photographs are accompanied by official information on the three regular designs, offerings and goshuin books.
Edo Thirty-three Kannon is a sacred place that tours Kannon temples in Tokyo. Even in the same pilgrimage, the method of receiving goshuin is different for each temple. First, know the locations of the temples, check the counters and sutra payment conditions for each place you visit, and then plan your itinerary for each day.
Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods is a visit to seven shrines in Ningyocho, Hamacho, etc. The information of 8 shrines in the old article has been changed to 7 shrines that are currently officially introduced. In addition, it has been announced that the method of collecting colored paper stamps and statues by visiting various shrines will not be carried out during the Reiwa 8 (2026) New Year.
Kasama Inari Shrine, Tokyo Branch is located in Hamacho, Nihonbashi, and is also popularly known as Monzaburo Inari. The location is different from the main shrine in Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture.

At Suitengu Shrine in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, we are guiding goshuin and goshuin book at the shrine. The goshuin and precinct photos in this article are records from my 2014 temporary shrine visit. The current place of worship is Suitengu Shrine in Kakigara Town, so please take a look at the photo and location separately.
Suehiro Shrine is one of the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods shrines located in Nihonbashi Ningyocho. The previous goshuin has Bishamonten written in large ink. The shrine name is the official notation "Suehiro Shrine", and we have summarized the things to check before requesting goshuin.
Koami Shrine is a shrine located in the city of Nihonbashi Koamicho. The goshuin posted is from the time of worship in 2014. We have summarized the awarding times and directions from the station, which can be confirmed in the current official guide, separated by past photos.
