Asagaya Shinmeigu Shrine

Asagaya Shinmeigu (阿佐ケ谷神明宮) is a Shinto shrine which is a 2-minute walk from JR Chuo Line Asagaya Station.
Though its shrine rank was not so high -- every Shinto shrine had a rank before WWII --, its present complex, completed in 2009, is impressive for a shrine of that rank.
It was founded in 114 CE according to legend, and it's a spiritual branch of Ise Grand Shrine in Mie Prefecture.

Nohgakudo is a stage where music and dances are performed during festivals.

Haiden is where you offer prayers to divinities.

The building in the center is Honden, the very building in which the main deity of the shrine is enshrined. As a spritual branch of the Ise Grand Shrine, it is dedicated to Sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami. The right building is dedicated to her brother Tsukuyomi no Mikoto who is the god of Moon, and the left building is dedicated to Susanoo, who is another brother of hers.

On the south side of Asagaya Station, there is Mabashi Inari Shrine.
