Nogi Shrine

Small, quaint and peaceful. Set in the middle of residential and hotel area, right next door to a metro station, this shrine was on my list of visits but I wasn't expecting much, specially since it was right next door to the metro. It turned out to be a little gem. It was not busy at all, and it felt by the people there to be one of those shrines that the people that work near by come on their break to pay their respects or to sit on the little garden it has on the side. It has a little staircase on the side with 6 or 7 shiinto shrines that are very beautiful and a series of small corridors that are very well maintained and kept.

Visited this shrine, which was near my hotel, during my first day in Tokyo. It was raining profusely but it was certainly a nice first visit to a Japanese shrine. Very easy to access as it was right next to a subway station (I forgot which one it was) but I took a nice walk from my hotel, which is also an option if you prefer walking from Roppongi. There was ample signage around the place detailing the history in English and Japanese. There was also a small store (as with all other shrines) selling small items and for donations. Overall, really quaint and peaceful (probably due to the rain too) and a nice place to visit if you're in the area - you can probably walk the entire area in less than 30 mins.

Very Esay access. The shrine gate is front of the Nogizaka station exit. We didn't have a lot of time but the shrine is not big and we can see around qickly.

Very nice little surprise-shrine in the middle of Nogizaka-area! ^^ We just happened to walk past and were surprised by the calm un-tokyo-like atmosphere and feeling of the place. Recommend to visit for those who feel like getting away from the city to get a breather but don't actually have time to get out of the city xD They sell various charms, goshuin (shrine stamp), and when we were there there happened to be a traditional Japanese wedding being held which was cool to see ^^
