2. Numabukuro Hikawa Shrine is a quiet and beautiful historic shrine located in Nakano Ward. In the shrine grounds, there is the 'Three Wishes Pine,' which is said to grant three wishes when a votive tablet (ema) is tied to it. Visitors can participate in traditional Japanese rituals through a prayer experience inside the sanctuary, which is usually closed to the public. After the prayer, visitors will dedicate their ema and be guided through the grounds by the head priest. The shrine also houses the Seven Lucky Gods, where prayers for encounters and prosperity can be offered. Lastly, participants will receive both a protective charm (omamori) and a sacred ofuda as souvenirs. Recently, it has gained popularity among anime fans due to its appearance in shows like 'Demon Slayer' and 'Tokyo Revengers.' This unique experience blends traditional culture with pop culture, offering a distinctive atmosphere in the heart of the city.

About Tokio

Neonviertel, stille Schreine, großartiges Essen und eigenständige Stadtteile prägen Tokio, eine riesige, geordnete Metropole mit pünktlichen Zügen.

Jeder Stadtteil fühlt sich wie eine eigene Stadt an. Shibuyas berühmte Kreuzung und Shinjukus Türme, Bars und Gassen von Golden Gai pulsieren vor Energie, während Harajuku Jugendmode mit der waldigen Ruhe des Meiji-Schreins verbindet. In Asakusa halten der Sensō-ji-Tempel und seine Marktstraße ein älteres Tokio lebendig, und Ginza bietet gepflegte Kaufhäuser und Galerien.

Top-ranked sights in Tokio: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
