Nakameguro Hachiman Shrine

Pure natural water at heart of Tokyo

Understood to be constructed during Kanbun period in Edo-era (around 1660), Nakameguro Hachiman Shrine is located only minutes walk away from busy Nakameguro station.
The shrine is blessed with many big old trees so the space keeps its silence and naturally refreshes visiting people.
A small spring can be found by the stairs to the shrine hall. When we visited, we met local residents with empty bottles who told us they come once occasionally to take water for making teas. According to them, the tea made with this water tastes distinctly delicious.
