What visitors say
Although within walking distance of Higashi-Shinjuku Station, this shrine offers a tranquil atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Beyond the stone steps, you will find the shrine buildings, Komainu (lion-dog statues), and large trees, including a big Camphor tree. In the plum blossom season, you can enjoy the beautiful flowers. The park within the shrine grounds features a slide, and Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) for Nabenten is also available.
