The Annual Festival at Tsukudo Hachiman Shrine in Shinjuku

The Annual Festival at Tsukudo Hachiman Shrine – A 1200-Year-Old Local Shrine in Kagurazaka, Shinjuku. Don’t Miss the Next Big Festival at Akagi Shrine!   An Old Local Shrine in the Heart of Shinjuku: Tsukudo Hachiman’s Annual Festival On September 15, 2024, the annual festival was held at Tsukudo Hachiman Shrine, an old local shrine in Shinjuku. Founded approximately 1200 years ago during the reign of Emperor Saga (809-823), it is one of Tokyo’s oldest shrines, rivaling the famous oldest Kanda Myojin Shrine, which is one of the oldest shrines in Tokyo, founded in 730. The shrine is located in the area where I live, making it special to the local community. 1678 Mikoshi and Edo-Era Relics: The Timeless Charm of Tsukudo Hachiman Shrine Tsukudo Hachiman Shrine is home to cultural treasures, such as a 1678 mikoshi (portable shrine), a 1664 Koshin-to stone monument, and the oldest torii gate in Shinjuku, constructed in 1726. While it flourished in the Edo period, today, it serves mainly the local community, offering a quiet, intimate atmosphere. I love these small, local shrines that are preserved mainly for the community.
