Kanda Myoujin or Kanda Shrine (神田明神) was first built about 1,270 year ago at present Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. It was moved to Kanda-dai (神田台) at the beginning of the Edo era, in 1603 due to an expansion program of the Edo castle, and further changed it's location to the general site in 1616. Kanda Myojin shrine was much revered in old days by the warrior class of people. Especially in the Edo period, the general Tokugawa paid high respect to this shrine, and later it proved to be the object of the general public.

 

The Kanda Shrine is dedicated to the Daikoku-sama, Ebisu-sama, and Taira-no-Masakado-sama deities.
