Akihabara, the electronic town of Tokyo has also its own Shrine site.

​Kanda Myojin is a popular Shrine in the heart of Tokyo which its history dates back to the year 730.

Kanda Shrine had been highly regarded by both the warrior class and citizens of Japan, especially during the Edo Shogunate.

The current structure of the shrine was rebuilt several times due to fire and earthquakes.

On this occasion, a massive shrine is traditionally carried through the streets of Akihabara, providing an interesting contrast with all the high-tech to say the least.

​​The Shrine is situated in one of the most expensive estate areas of Tokyo. Kanda is a typical local district with residential areas, numerous universities and bookstores. It has traditionally been an academic center, and is therefore frequented by young people.
