"The Hie Shrine is one of the most important shrines in the city and one of the most important meeting and prayer places for locals. The walk you take to reach it is very beautiful, passing through a tunnel of red torii that recall the Fushimi Inari. An ancient celebration has accompanied this place for centuries, the Sanno Matsuri, one of the most well-known and fascinating festivals in the capital.
👣How to get there: reachable on foot from Toyokawa Inari Betsuin (1km, 15min). Metro stop: Tameike-Sanno, Ginza line.
🎟️Ticket cost: free entry."

"Can you believe this is in Tokyo?
There are three entrances to this temple. The Sanno torii gate (wooden gates found at the shrines) entry is the most convenient because it has an escalator next to the stairs to get up to the hilltop shrine! Heck yes for easier accessibility.
In mid-June, Hie Shrine has the Sanno Festival, one of Tokyo’s three major festivals. Worshippers dance and sing to the beat of taiko drums and there are hundreds of lanterns dedicated to the deity."

"This is a good alternative to the one in Kyoto.
A lot of people say it is less busy, but not sure about it as many people are posting about it. "
