About this Shrine

Love Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Bunkyo, Tokyo, dedicated to Amaterasu Omikami and Susanoo-no-Mikoto. The shrine's name '愛宕' (Yae-tan) literally means 'love pool,' which refers to the pond near the main hall. It was built in 1868 during the late Edo period as a result of a popular marriage match between Prince Yoshihito, later Emperor Meiji, and Princess Shoken, sister of the Aizuya domain lord. The shrine is known for its large bronze bell, giant Buddha statue, and beautiful gardens.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is famous for its beautiful gardens and traditional Japanese architecture. It's also known for its unique torii gate, which was donated by a wealthy businessman in the 1950s.
