Asakusa Washinomiya Shrine
台東区千束３丁目１８−７
This shrine is also known by the nickname 'Otori-sama' and is widely recognized for its annual festival in November, called the Tori no Ichi (Rooster Market).
History
Anciently, the deity Amaterasu Washinomiya-no-Kami was enshrined here. It is said that Yamato Takeru prayed for victory in battle during his eastern expedition, although the shrine actually originated from the Washinomiya (Eagle Shrine) adjacent to Chokoku-ji Temple. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the early Meiji period, it became independent from Chokoku-ji and was established as Washinomiya Shrine.

What visitors say
The grounds feature a 'Naodokame' (a large pot used for cleansing rituals), creating a warm atmosphere typical of the old downtown area. In November, the Tori no Ichi (Rooster Market) is held, known as a festival evoking the ambiance of Edo with its lantern lights, bustling food stalls, and lively sales of kumade (rake-shaped charms for good fortune). Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available, and parking facilities are provided.
