 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.
