Koto, Tokyo

Tomioka Hachimangu

富岡八幡宮

A Fukagawa shrine near Monzen-nakacho Station, with monuments connected to sumo and the surveyor Ino Tadataka. Choose it for a short stop focused on Edo-era history. The main sanctuary is undergoing renovation, so check the current worship route rather than expecting an unobstructed view of the building.

Visit at a glance

Estimated visit time: 20–40 minutes
Ordinary worship and a short look around the main precinct and monuments where accessible; excludes station travel, neighbouring Fukagawa Fudo-do, museum visits, formal prayers, festival crowds and queues. A planning allowance, not an official visit duration. Walking pace, available routes and queues vary.
Getting there: The official guide gives about 3 minutes on foot from Monzen-nakacho Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line, 6 minutes from the Toei Oedo Line station, or 15 minutes from JR Etchujima Station. Station approaches are separate from the precinct visit.
Grounds hours: Koto City lists the precinct as open for worship 24 hours. This does not mean staffed counters, indoor worship areas or every part of the grounds are available all night; renovation may affect the route.
Office hours: Koto City lists amulet and administrative services at 09:00–17:00. The current renovation notice separately gives formal prayer reception at 09:00–16:20, with prayers from 09:30 to 16:30 on the hour and half-hour in the temporary sanctuary. Ceremonies may change the schedule. Goshuin-specific reception hours were not separately confirmed.
Admission categories: The Tokyo Metropolitan Government accessibility guide lists entry to the grounds as free. Offerings, formal prayers, amulets and goshuin are separate; free grounds entry does not guarantee access to the museum or building interiors.

A short history

The shrine dates its foundation to 1627 on land then called Eitaijima. It developed with the surrounding Fukagawa neighbourhood and received support from the Tokugawa shoguns. Its official history also records authorised sumo tournaments in the precinct from 1684, before the principal venue later moved to Eko-in.

Before you go

The official notice schedules main-sanctuary renovation from March 2026 to June 2027, with the guest hall serving as the temporary sanctuary from May 28, 2026. The shrine also posts a mikoshi-storehouse renovation notice restricting close viewing, but that notice does not clearly state its year; confirm current viewing arrangements. Festival processions and sumo ceremonies are special events, not daily attractions. The kami listed here is the principal deity; the official history mentions eight others without naming them individually.
