About this Shrine

Ekoda Sengen Shrine, located in the heart of Tokyo's Musashino Park, is a serene Shinto sanctuary dedicated to the kami Sengen, revered for its healing and purification powers. Founded during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), this shrine has been an important destination for locals seeking spiritual solace and relief from illness. As one of Japan's most ancient shrines, Ekoda Sengen Shrine embodies the traditional Japanese aesthetic, with a tranquil garden, strolling paths, and an imposing torii gate.

Cultural Significance

Ekoda Sengen Shrine is closely associated with the legendary hero Minamoto no Yoritomo, who sought the blessings of Sengen to legitimize his claim to power.
