About this Shrine

The Hie Shrine, located in Tokyo, is one of the oldest Shinto shrines in Japan, with a history dating back to the 8th century. Originally dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu, the shrine's name translates to 'sacrifice hall' or 'holy hall', reflecting its significance as a site for spiritual offerings and ceremonies. The shrine's architectural style is characteristic of Heian-period Shintoism, featuring a rectangular main hall with a tiled roof and a vermilion torii gate.

Cultural Significance

The Hie Shrine is associated with the legend of Amaterasu's descent into the underworld and her eventual return to the world above. During the autumnal equinox festival, locals offer prayers for good fortune and health, while the shrine also hosts a traditional tea ceremony in honor of the sun goddess.
