Quaint and vibrant vermilion - Tokyo Garden Shrine

For those who want to experience Japanese culture firsthand but find Senso-ji Temple too far, Garden Shrine is a great choice. Locals prefer to call it 'Shinjuku's Town Shrine.' Although the shrine is small, its red torii gates, wooden ema for making wishes, and the unique Japanese 'omamori' (amulets) are quite distinctive. Especially on Sundays, the grounds of Garden Shrine transform into an antique market. The 'antiques' here are not expensive vases or porcelain, but various styles of second-hand items. You can immerse yourself in the shrine's atmosphere and slowly hunt for treasures.
