Since the current shaden (main building) has been reconstructed, there are 123 works of art on the ceiling of the haiden (worship hall) to commemorate the 50th anniversary since reconstruction.

    ビルの谷間にひっそり佇む、太田道灌が建立したとされる天満宮です。相次ぐ火災で、現存する殆どの社殿は新しいものですが、19世紀中ごろに近隣住民が奉納した銅製の鳥居は緑青に覆われ、威風を漂わせています。

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
