Workshop Agenda

Delve into Tokyo's Spiritual Past:

Nestled in the heart of Tokyo lies the enchanting Kanda Myojin Shrine, an emblem of Japan's storied past. Established in 730, this sacred sanctuary boasts an illustrious history stretching back nearly 1,300 years. As tales go, during the pivotal Edo era (1603–1867), the shrine was gracefully relocated to its present abode, where it earned the reverence of the esteemed shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

But that's not all that makes this shrine unique. Situated a stone's throw away from the bustling tech haven of Akihabara, Kanda Myojin intricately entwines the ancient with the contemporary. Modern devotees and tech enthusiasts often find solace here, seeking blessings for their prized electronic gadgets.

Duration: Approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes of soulful exploration.
