History
Known as the tutelary shrine of Edo, Kandamyojin is one of the oldest shrines in Tokyo, founded in the year 730 (Tenpyo 2). During the Edo period, it was held in deep reverence by the Tokugawa shoguns, and achieved great renown through the Kanda Festival, one of the three great festivals of Edo. The shrine enshrines three deities: Daikokusama, Ebisusama, and Masakadosama, and is particularly known for its benefits of business prosperity, good fortune in love, and evil spirit exorcism. In modern times, IT-related companies frequently visit, and it has gained attention for a new benefit called "IT information security protection." Located near Akihabara, this shrine represents a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.

Tips
本殿東側に小説『銭形平次捕物控』ゆかりの碑が建っており、台座が寛永通宝の形をしています。傍らには子分・八五郎の小碑も添えられていますが、気づかず素通りする参拝者が多いです。
御朱印は月替わりで図柄が変わるほか、神田祭・正月・夏越の大祓など行事ごとの限定御朱印も存在するため、訪問タイミングで全く異なるものが授与されます。
初詣期間は約30万人が訪れ、神田祭・ゴールデンウィークも激混みになるため、平日午前中が最も落ち着いて参拝できます。
