Tokyo Daijingu was founded in the Meiji era as a remote worship hall for Ise Jingu, and is affectionately known as "Tokyo's Ise Shrine." Amaterasu Omikami and Toyouke no Okami are enshrined here.

Tokyo Daijingu became famous nationwide for its "matchmaking" benefits. It is a popular power spot, especially among women, and is deeply revered by people hoping for a good match. In recent years, it has also become known as the shrine that started holding Shinto wedding ceremonies.

Although the shrine grounds are located in the city center, they are enveloped in a pure atmosphere, and just visiting the shrine is said to cleanse the soul. There is a wide variety of amulets available, and matchmaking amulets and love fortune-telling slips are particularly popular and make great souvenirs.
