[2025 Tokyo Attraction] Travel Guide for Shōin Shrine (Updated Jul)

5 minutes walk from Shoinjinjamae Station on the Tokyu Setagaya Line I went to Shoinjinja Shrine! As you walk through the shopping street right next to the station, you will see the shrine's torii gate. It seems that many people come for shrine visits and Shichigosan, so it was crowded today as well. To the right of the shrine grounds is a reproduction of the Shokasonjuku school, a great place for history lovers. To the left of the grounds is a building where you can buy amulets and votive plaques. There is also a parking lot and a large park next to the shrine. The shopping street leading to the shrine also has a variety of stylish cafes and delicious looking restaurants, so it is highly recommended for a stroll! #shrine #history

[Access] About a 5-minute walk from Shoin Shrine on the Tokyu Setagaya Line [Points] ~Remembering the God of Academics~ Shoin Shrine is a shrine very close to the station. It was a very large shrine. Shoin Shrine is famous for Yoshida Shoin, the god of academics. Many people come here to make wishes before exams. At this time of year, wind chimes are decorated, and when the wind blows, they make a beautiful sound, which is great. If you come to this area, be sure to stop by Shoin Shrine. *Information as of August 2023.

I went to a French bistro 🥂 near Shoinjinja Station on the Setagaya Line for lunch 🫧! There are four courses for lunch, and the three courses other than the plate lunch came with bread and coffee or tea. On the day I went, the appetizers were chicken liver mousse, summer vegetable terrine, and salmon carpaccio, and since I wanted to eat carpaccio, I went for course B, which was one appetizer + main dish + dessert! For the main course, I had beef skirt steak 🥩! For dessert, I had chocolate cake. The menu changes depending on the day, so I'd like to go again!! Everything was delicious and the atmosphere was great 🥰 If you're on the Setagaya Line, please be sure to stop by 🫶🏻 Address: 1F Shoin Jinjamae Residence, 4-21-3 Wakabayashi, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo Closed: Tuesdays Opening hours: Lunch 11:30-15:00 (last orders 14:30) Dinner 18:00-21:30 (last orders 21:00) #Tokyo trip #Tokyo sightseeing #Tokyo cafe #Tokyo cafe tour #Cafe tour

A Korean restaurant 🇰🇷 located about a 2-minute walk from Shoin Jinja-mae on the Setagaya Line. I was able to eat lunch for around 1,000 yen! The main menu had many varieties, including chicken, tteokbokki, cheese dak galbi, and chijimi!! I ordered the chicken lunch set! I thought it looked spicy, but it wasn't that spicy when I ate it! Basically, the chicken for lunch is yangnyeom, but if you ask the staff, you can change it to a flavor on the main menu☺️ I was interested in the garlic soy sauce flavor, so I think I'll try that next time. You can pay with Setagaya Pay, and for a limited time, you can get a 30% cashback, so you can eat at a great price😚💓 #Keihan Group Campaign #Korean Food #Tokyo Gourmet #Setagaya Ward #Tokyo Cafe

We went to Shoin Shrine in Setagaya, Tokyo 🚶 A shrine dedicated to Yoshida Shoin, an educator and thinker who lived during the late Edo period ⛩️ Yoshida Shoin is famous for the Shoka Sonjuku school, which we learned about in Japanese history classes, and he taught studies without being bound by status or class 🥸 It is also famous for producing many famous people who have left their mark on history, such as Takasugi Shinsaku, who founded the Kiheitai, and Ito Hirobumi, who contributed to the establishment of the Meiji government as the first Prime Minister. In the precincts, there is a building that recreates the Shoka Sonjuku school, and Yoshida Shoin's grave is also left behind! The approach to the shrine is wide and well-maintained, surrounded by greenery, and at the back of the approach, a magnificent shrine appears 👀 The current shrine was built around 1927, and the original shrine is said to be the inner sanctuary. Surrounded by a solemn and calm space, this is a historic shrine that weaves the life of Yoshida Shoin, who lived during the turbulent end of the Edo period 😌 *There is also a bronze statue of Yoshida Shoin along the approach to the shrine, so be sure to check it out when you visit ☑️ ————————————— 📍Location: Wakabayashi, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo [Access🚃] Get off at Shoinjinjamae Station on the Tokyu Setagaya Line, about a 3-minute walk [Opening hours🕰️] 7:00-17:00 -————————————— #Domestic travel #June visit #Tokyo #Tokyo trip #Tokyo trip #Tokyo walk #Setagaya #Setagaya line #Shoin Shrine #Shoin Shrine #Yoshida Shoin #Shoka Sonjuku #History of the end of the Edo period #Camera trip #SLR #Canoneoskissx9i #I love traveling #Travel record #Travel record #Historical walk #Traveling in Japan #Where should I go next? #japan #japantravel #tokyo

#FuriTabi Shoin Shrine in Setagaya, Tokyo⛩️ This shrine enshrines Yoshida Shoin, an educator from the late Edo period. The shrine is said to offer benefits such as protection from misfortune and prayers for success in exams. The area where Shoin Shrine is located has a very quiet atmosphere. On the approach to the shrine is the Shoin Shrine Street shopping street, which was fun because there were many privately owned shops. The sweet sake was delicious~☺️ I took the Setagaya Line streetcar to Shoin Shrine. There are only a few places in Tokyo where you can ride a streetcar, so it was a new experience! If you're interested, please go and check it out😊 —————————————————————- 📍Location: 4-35-1 Wakabayashi, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo 🕰️Visiting hours: 7:00AM - 5:00PM #mayu✈️trip🇯🇵 #100TravelStyle #Shrine
