A simple way to visit

  1. Choose the approach from your arrival station.
  2. Worship first and leave the main passage open.
  3. Continue toward Ochanomizu or Akihabara according to the rest of the day.

Make the most of your visit

For mobility needs, compare the approach before choosing a staircase route. Photograph buildings without disrupting worship.

Rainy-day planning

Shorten outdoor walking and leave extra time on slopes. Continue to a seated meal rather than treating the shrine as a fully indoor attraction.
