Kanda Myojin is one of Tokyo's most important shrines, guardian of the old Edo downtown, and a fascinating case study in how traditional Shinto adapts to modern life. Located steps from Akihabara, the shrine has embraced its proximity to Japan's electronics and anime district by offering IT safety prayers, anime-themed ema (prayer plaques), and collaborations with popular franchises. Yet beneath the modern surface lies nearly 1,300 years of history. One of its three enshrined deities is Taira no Masakado, the rebellious samurai who defied the imperial court in the 10th century, was executed, and subsequently became one of Tokyo's most feared and revered spirits. His spirit was enshrined here after persistent disasters were attributed to his anger. The Kanda Matsuri, held in odd-numbered years in May, is one of Tokyo's three great festivals and features an elaborate procession through the streets of central Tokyo.
