Okunitama-jinja Shrine is one of Tokyo's oldest and most visited shrines

Okunitama-jinja Shrine is one of Tokyo's oldest shrines, with a history of about 1,900 years. Located at the center of Fuchu City, it is considered one of the five major shrines of Tokyo along with Meiji Jingu, Yasukuni Jinja Shrine, Hie Jinja, and Tokyo Daijingu.

Every year Okunitama-jinja Shrine holds its Kurayami festival in May, while in fall it holds its lively Chestnut Festival (Kuri Matsuri), which features kyogen and kagura performances, about 260 paper lanterns, a parade of floats, and, of course, the area’s famous chestnuts.
