Hanabusa Inari Shrine, a hidden shrine tucked away in an alleyway in Akiba, is undergoing repairs.

Hanabusa Inari Shrine, a small Inari shrine tucked away in a back alley in Akihabara, has been undergoing repair work since June 5. It is currently off-limits.

The location is at the end of a narrow alley between Liberty No. 4 and No. 5 stores on Chuo Dori.

Hanabusa Inari Shrine is a small Inari shrine tucked away in a back alley in Akihabara. According to the Chiyoda Ward website, the shrine was built in the Edo period (1603-1867), but the current shrine was rebuilt by local residents after the war. Surrounded by buildings and requiring a narrow alley through which a single person can barely pass, the shrine is also known as a hidden spot in Akihabara.
