Kameido Tenmangu Shrine is also known as Kameido Tenmangu Shrine.

#Valentine's Day 2025 This place is also known as "Tokyo's No. 1 wisteria viewing spot". Since the Edo period, it has been a well-known wisteria viewing spot. Every year from mid-April to early May, it always attracts many tourists to make a pilgrimage. The wisteria flowers of Kameido Tenjin also appeared in the work "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" by Ukiyo-e master Utagawa Hiroshige. From this we can see how famous it is. The wisteria flowers at Kameido Tenjin Shrine have different beauty during the day and at night, especially the night wisteria that is lit up at night, which has a unique charm. I’ve seen friends share beautiful photos of wisteria flowers and Tokyo Skytree, and I’ve always hoped to have the chance to see the beautiful scenery with my own eyes! Kameido, where Kameido Tenjinja Shrine is located, was formerly known as Kameshima because its terrain resembles a turtle. There are many turtles in the shrine. It is understood that every year many candidates come to the shrine to pray for knowledge and passing the exams. When they fulfill their wishes after the exams, they bring turtles and put them in the pond to thank the gods. This has led to the interesting phenomenon that there are more and more turtles in the pond. In addition, the water outlet of the hand-water shrine here is also in the shape of a turtle, so you can pay more attention to it when you visit the shrine. Another special attraction in the shrine is the two Taiko bridges within the grounds. The first Taiko bridge you see after entering through the Otorii is the "Otoko Bridge", which was modeled after the Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Kyushu and represents the "past". If you continue walking straight ahead, you will see the second Taiko Bridge, which is also the bridge leading to the main hall. It is called "Onna Bridge" and represents "a hopeful future." Standing on the bridge, you can have a panoramic view of the shrine grounds, and you can also take in the view of Taiko Bridge and Tokyo Skytree in the same frame, which is very special!
