Kameido Tenjin Shrine
Kameido, Tokyo
East Tokyo's great wisteria shrine, dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of scholarship. Hiroshige printed its arched drum bridges and purple trellises in the 1850s, and the scene still looks remarkably like the woodblock.

Insider tip
Stand on the red taiko-bashi bridge during wisteria season and the Skytree lines up directly behind the trellises, the one photo everyone leaves with.
