Kanda Shrine, or Kanda-myōjin, is a Shinto shrine at 2-16-2 Soto-Kanda in Chiyoda, Tokyo, near Akihabara. It was founded in 730 in the fishing village of Shibasaki, near modern Ōtemachi. It moved in 1603 to the former Kanda ward and in 1616 to its current site. Tokugawa Ieyasu paid his respects there.
The 1923 Great Kantō earthquake destroyed the main structure, and it was rebuilt in concrete in 1934. The main building is in the Gongen-zukuri style, painted vermilion with gold and lacquered interiors. The two-story Zuishin-mon gate is made of cypress with an irimoya roof, and it was reconstructed in 1995.
The Kanda Matsuri is one of Tokyo's three major Shinto festivals, held around May 15 in odd-numbered years. Technology enthusiasts from Akihabara buy talismans there to protect electronic devices.
