Old Town Tokyo is shearing the information about historic sights and shops around Asakusa, Ueno, Kuramae, Yanaka, Ryogoku, so-called Shitamachi, as well as the current and coming events for tourists and travelers. Enjoy your trip in Tokyo, Japan!
There is a shrine named Akiba Shrine in Matsugaya, Taito-ku. This shrine was used to be in Akihabara, but relocated to this place near Kappabashi in 1888.
Once in a year in November, a holy event in order to defuse fire will be held here. The event is called Hiwatari-no-Shinji. People walk on the road of burning charcoal in bare feet. Kind of scary but anyone can try!
