Neighbourhood: Shinagawa / Gotanda
In Shinagawa, an office district shares space with luxury residential buildings and the scene is constantly changing with rapid development. Ikedayama park and Togoshi park are great places to see beautiful traditional Japanese gardens with ponds, as well as enjoy the changing seasons. Shinagawa was a post and a port town during the Edo era and the lavish old Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples at Shinagawa and Ebara are very popular. It's a great place to get in touch with the old Edo atmosphere on a pleasure boat cruising along the canal. The neighboring area around Gotanda station is a study in modern contrasts filled with unique restaurants and a lively nightlife.

新馬場駅のすぐ近くにある、小高い丘の上に設けられた神社です。京急線に乗車し西側の車窓を見ていると必ず目につきます。とりわけ絢爛豪華な神社ではなく、住宅街に囲まれていることもあり、初詣や祭りの時期等を除けば参拝者も少なく、ひっそりとしています。
東側にある鳥居には見事な龍の彫刻が施され、堂々とした佇まいを見ることが出来ます。鳥居から拝殿に向かう際の階段がかなり急となっていますので、必要に応じて手摺を利用して昇降するといいでしょう。境内には富士塚があり、富士信仰に関連して作られたものですが、今では境内から街並みを眺める展望台の一つとなっています。
The shrine is located on a small hill near Shinbamba station. If you take the Keikyu line and look out the window on the west side of the train, you will surely see it. It is not a particularly gorgeous shrine, and because it is surrounded by residential areas, there are not many worshippers except during the New Year's visit and festivals, and it is quiet.
The torii gate on the east side of the shrine has a magnificent dragon carving on it, giving it an imposing appearance. The stairs from the torii to the hall of worship are quite steep, so it is best to use the handrail to climb up and down if necessary. There is a Fujizuka on the shrine precincts, which was built in connection with the Fuji faith, but has now become one of the observatories from which you can view the city from the shrine precincts.

This is a shrine located in a walking distance from Shinagawa station.
Here has a mountain( or could be hill ) whose elevation is 15M, called Fuji-zuka.
In Japan, Fujisan has been deified from people and said that climbing the top, elevation 3776M would give sacred power to the visitor.
Here only has a 15M, so good cost-performance.
Visitors can enter the mountain from an intermediate way of stairs to the shrine. Markers of Gou No.1 to No.5 can be look over with a single glance (Gou means the percentage of the way to top and divided to 10, 10th means the top.).
The view from the top has buildings only, usual sight, but somehow I felt nice.
In the precinct, there is Inari Jinja which has a promenade with Red Torii.
There is a spring at the bottom of the promenade, named 一粒萬倍(Ichi Ryu Man Bai).
This means the spring multiplies something by 10,000.
Ordinally people having their own business bring this water and sprinkle it to their shop.
A visitor guy put it on his hair.

A small but quaint shine close to Shinagawa Station. Nothing particularly spectacular about this shrine as there are many larger ones in Tokyo. Nevertheless, if you’re around the area it would make a nice detour.

Lovely little shrine, a peaceful and green enclave to visit. Don’t miss the smaller steps up to the left. Plenty deities to choose from!

We did a great deal of walking here and most of the sites were forest. There were some shrines that date back centuries and our guide was knowledgeable,but the weather was humid and warm. If you like old, you will like this tour. My wife didn't enjoy it and I found it average at best

Shinagawa Shrine is a fascinating place to visit and very accessible. It was established in 1187 and is one of the top ten shrines in Tōkyō. Over the first weekend in June there is a Shinagawa Shrine Festival (Shinagawa Tennō Matsuri) when two large mikoshi (a portable shrines) weighing about 2 tons each are carried down from the shrine, paraded around the area and then taken back up to the shrine. The festival ends with an Oiran Dochu, a parade of women dressed as Oiran, courtesans.The Fujizuka (miniature Mt. Fuji) at Shinagawa Shrine was built in 1869 for those unable to make the pilgrimage to Mt. Fuji itself. It is 15m high and it incorporates lava from Mt. Fuji itself. The earthquake on 11th March 2011 made the structure unstable and work took place to make it safe and there is a shrine at the top from where there is a decent view of the surrounding area. As burials are not permitted in the grounds of Shinto Shrines the tomb of Count Itagaki Taisuke is located in fairly isolated tranquillity at the rear of the Shingawa Shrine in the graveyard of what used to be Kōgen-in Temple, a subsidiary temple of Tōkaiji Temple. After the earthquake in 1923 the temple was moved to Setagaya-ku but the graves of Itagaki and his wife were left here.

Despite being our last day in Japan and all of us pretty much exhausted from walking and sight-seeing, we thought it would be good to get out and stretch our legs in the morning prior to a long day of travel ahead. The Shinagawa Shrine was conveniently located less than a 10 minute walk from the Tokyo Marriot, including a small bridge that crosses the multitude of rail lines exiting Shinagawa station (excellent for train-watching). The shrine sits a-top a hill and consisting of the main shrine, along with at least three of shrines – with perfect little nooks to explore, the shrine has a lot of character. While not as expansive and grand as the Meiji Shrine, it felt like this little shrine had more character. Climbing a-top its highest point, you can overlook the subway line and the streets of Shinagawa. Despite being one of the original shrines in Tokyo, it is quiet and not frequented by tourists – we spent about 30 minutes exploring and walking around the grounds, and it was a nice respite from the busy streets and more popular temples. A worthwhile final outing.

This temple dates back to the 1600. It is low profile but worth a visit. It is within walking distance of hotels in Shinagawa.
