With 700 history Akaki Jinja Shrine has been the local Shinto worship center for Ushigome-Kagurazaka, Shinjuku, residents. It was rebuilt a few times because fire accident in 1842 and because of war burn in 1945. Current Jinja/ shrine's main worship hall structure was created in 2010 after Akaki Jinja Shrine shut down its kindergarten, a financing resource for the Shrine and after residential apartments at Jinja's own land co-development deal with Mitsui Real Estate, because lack of students due to demographic change. Because of joint project venture with Mitsui Real Estate, new Jinja Complex and its Apartment Realty project do earn positive recognition for their designs and real-estate utilization. Probably, Akaki Jinja Shrine creates a new financing model for the financing resource and better survival ability for the shrine, when many other shrines in nearby are relying on selling burial lots for the deceased. There is a cafe inside the Jinja complex. Jinja is free for entry, and is at the center of Kagurazaka.

The architecture is a big draw. When they were rebuilding a few years ago they made a daring choice to go with modern architecture so very different to most shrines. The stark contrast of glass and concrete is impressive. The shrine grounds are tranquil, but I personally find earthen shrines and temples more spiritual. Akagi shrine is lacking in this regard in my opinion. Beautiful torii. Good location. Free to admire. Surrounding neighbourhood very charming with lots of quaint coffee shops and confectioners.
