神田神社後門 at Akihabara, Tokyo

The rear gate of Kanda Shrine in Sotokanda.

The Kanda Jinja Kaimon, or rear gate, is the back entrance to Kanda Shrine at 2-16-16 Sotokanda in Chiyoda, near Akihabara. The gate opens onto the shrine's quieter rear approach path, where many commemorative stones and sub-shrines sit among the trees away from the busier front approach. Kanda Myojin is one of Tokyo's oldest shrines, enshrining deities including two of the Seven Lucky Gods, and is free to enter.

The rear gate offers a more contemplative route around the shrine grounds, suiting visitors tracing the precinct's monuments and cultural history. The gate is open during shrine hours and sits a short walk from Akihabara and Suehirocho stations.

Enter Kanda Shrine through its quiet rear gate and explore the hidden monuments.
