Tokyo Daijingu Shrine

If you are looking for love, make your way to Tokyo Daijingu Shrine. Two sun goddesses and three gods of creation and growth are enshrined here. Together, these deities are known to play matchmaker. Famous, too, for serving as the location for the first traditional Shinto wedding ceremony, Tokyo Daijingu is believed to bless marriages. On weekends, Tokyoites and Japanese from all over the region line up here to worship and ask the deities for blessing in love and marriage. 
Tokyo Daijingu Shrine was founded in 1880 in the resemblance of the famous Ise Jingo Shrine located in Mie Prefecture. The original Ise Jingo was a famous pilgrimage for Shinto Japanese in the 17th century. Today, still, many make the pilgrimage to this famous shrine. Emperor Meiji deigned the creation of Tokyo Daijingu to facilitate worship of the enshrined deities without making the long trip to Mie. Today, Tokyo Daijingu remains one of the five great shrines of Tokyo.
