Often called Tokyo's answer to Fushimi Inari, this quiet shrine has a long tunnel of red torii gates leading up a wooded hillside. Far fewer crowds than Kyoto's famous version and arguably more atmospheric.

Insider tip

Walk the full torii path to the top. Especially beautiful in late April when azaleas bloom across the hillside garden.
