Hie Shrine, Shinto shrine in Nagatachō, Tokyo, Japan
The shrine stands between government buildings and office districts, featuring red torii gates and traditional architectural elements along its hillside location.
The shrine's origins trace to 1478 when warlord Ota Dokan established it, followed by Tokugawa Ieyasu moving it outside Edo Castle in 1607.
The Sanno Matsuri festival takes place at the shrine each June, incorporating an 11-day celebration with parades around the Imperial Palace.
Visitors can reach the shrine via escalators from Tameike-Sanno Station, which connects to Tokyo Metro Namboku Line and Ginza Line.
The shrine contains 31 historical swords, including a National Treasure tachi and 13 swords designated as Important Cultural Assets of Japan.
