Asagaya Shinmei-gū, Shinto shrine in Asagaya-kita, Tokyo, Japan

Asagaya Shinmei-gū is a Shinto shrine located in the Asagaya-kita neighborhood of Tokyo. The grounds feature a main hall, auxiliary buildings, and a maintained courtyard where visitors enter to offer prayers and make offerings.

Tradition dates its founding to around 1190, when a local landowner named Yokoi Hyōbu brought a sacred stone back from Ise Jingū and enshrined it here; that stone, said to be a stone rod, is still the go-shintai. The Edo-period guide Edo Meisho Zue instead credits a shrine built by villagers at the old site, now called O-Ise no Mori. In 1874 the shrine merged with Hie and Kitano shrines as Tenso Jinja, and in 1990 it took back the name Shinmei-gū.

The shrine's name was changed to Tenso-jinja in 1874 after merging three shrines, then restored to Shinmei-gu in 1990. It distributes lace bracelet charms called Kamu-musubi since 2015 and embroidered goshuin seals called Yamato-gasane since 2019, the first of their kind.

The shrine stands in Asagaya-kita, a short walk from Asagaya Station on the JR Chuo Line. Enter through the large stone torii, whose right pillar is partly hidden by a dark cylindrical pole in front of it; a wooden fence and stone sign sit below the opening. The 2009 renovation added a new prayer hall and a Noh stage.

The shrine performs the Hachinan-yoke prayer, which it states is offered nowhere else in Japan; it is said to remove misfortunes tied to age, direction, fire, water and human affairs. Since 2015 it has distributed "Shin-musubi", a lace bracelet charm first devised in autumn 2014, with seasonal limited models added in later years.
