Kanda-myōjin is a historic Shinto shrine over 1,300 years old, located just a short walk from Akihabara. It is dedicated to three protective deities — guardians of merchants, students, couples, and... geeks! In recent years, it has gained popularity for its ties to otaku culture, especially through the anime Love Live!
