When you hear the word “shrine,” many people may imagine a shrine solemnly standing in a place rich in nature surrounded by trees, but Hanazono Shrine is located in the heart of a bustling city with many buildings.

It is less than 10 minutes on foot from Shinjuku Station and has good access. It is one of the spots we would definitely like you to include when sightseeing in the Shinjuku area.

Hanazono Shrine was founded in the 1600s in the heart of the metropolis of Shinjuku.

It is said that it came to be called “Hanazono Jinja” because there used to be the “Owari Domain’s Lower Residence” in this place, and it was a place where many flowers bloomed.

Hanazono Shrine has long been said to bring good luck in “opening fortune and success” and “prosperity in business.”

Also, it is particularly popular among people who do business in Shinjuku, and many people seem to visit every year to pray for business prosperity.

The “Black Honzon” is said to bring good fortune.

Zojoji Temple is known for its deep ties to Tokugawa Ieyasu. 

This is because during the Sengoku period, when Prince Ieyasu entered Edo, he became the danka of Zojoji Temple, and later became the family temple of the Tokugawa family. 

At that time, people did not know when they would die, so it was common to have a Bodhisattva temple nearby.
