Pretty chilled shrine which has a lot of locals coming to pray at. Have to go up a flight of stairs if coming from the station side.

A nice but regularly crowded shrine. Has a heavy focus on generating an experience for tourists. It's not terrible though, as they actually put a lot of effort into making it an enjoyable experience for each visitor. The shrine horse is a tiny pony that is very cute.

This was a second time when I visited Kanda Myojin, it was interesting to enter the shrine via Otoko Zaka 男坂(a steep of stairs). It is always a different feeling and positive vibes when you enter the shrine like places. There is interesting character inside for Omikuji (try the fortune). One must visit this place if roaming nearby Akihabara area.

Beautiful visit on the second day of the Japanese new year. Was lucky to see the Japanese lion dance just before noon. Crowd management was wonderful. If you do not plan to pray at the shrine, you could enter via the side entrance.

What a nice peaceful shrine. Finally I get to visit a more friendly attraction place. It wasn't busy when I got there but later by 2pm it was starting to get busy but not crowded like other temple in the advertisement for tourists. A nice 30 - 45 mins and quick pray visit. And I continue to do other area for city site viewing walk. The cleaning fountain is outside of the temple before you go in.
