Hie-jinja Shrine is located on a Tokyo hilltop between the business district of Akasaka and the government buildings of Nagatacho. It is one of Tokyo’s major shrines, particularly notable for the beautiful and stately Sanno Matsuri festival, in June, and its connection to the Tokugawa clan. The west entrance takes you through a vivid tunnel of red torii, one of the most photographed scenes in Japan.
