About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo,菅原神社 is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the spirit of Ōe no Yasumasa, a powerful daimyō who served as regent for the emperor during the Edo period. The shrine's architecture reflects the traditional Heian style, with a main hall constructed from cedar wood and a vermilion torii gate. Visitors can explore the shrine grounds, which feature several historic buildings and beautiful gardens.

Cultural Significance

Ōe no Yasumasa was known for his loyalty to the emperor and his people. According to legend, he communicated with the kami of the shrine through a series of divination rituals, seeking guidance on important matters of state. The shrine's festival, Ōedera Fūjin Matsuri, is held annually in October to honor the spirit of the storm god, Fūjin.
