About this Shrine

Jyuni-jinja Shrine in Tokyo is dedicated to the twelve Shinto deities of the Japanese calendar, also known as Jūnishi. The shrine is a unique example of Edo-period architecture and is said to have been founded during the Edo period (1603-1867). Visitors can explore the shrine's main hall, which features a striking tiled roof and ornate decorations. During the New Year (Oshogatsu) festival, the shrine hosts a traditional prayer ceremony and festivities.

Cultural Significance

As one of the few shrines dedicated to all twelve Jūnishi, Jyuni-jinja is an important cultural and historical site. The shrine also hosts various festivals throughout the year, including the Spring equinox (Shunbun no Hi) festival, which celebrates the arrival of spring.
