What Other Wealth Shrines in Tokyo Are Worth Visiting?
"Besides Koami Shrine, are there any other recommended wealth shrines in Tokyo?"
"If I want to pray for wealth, career success, and investment luck, which one should I really visit?"
Actually, there's a good reason why Koami Shrine is so popular—it truly is a shrine worth visiting.
However, it would be a pity if you thought Koami Shrine was the only wealth shrine in Tokyo.
Having lived in Tokyo for over 10 years, I've visited quite a few shrines over time, and I've discovered that there are actually many other wealth shrines that local Japanese people genuinely visit.
Some are famous for "Zeniarai" (washing money for good luck), some are particularly great for praying for career advancement and promotions, and quite a few are highly popular shrines frequently visited by politicians and business elites for years. 💰⛩️
Today, I'm going to round up and share some of the Tokyo wealth shrines I've personally visited and genuinely recommend.
If my previous post introduced Tokyo's most representative "money-washing shrine," then this one is my ultimate recommendation list for Tokyo's wealth shrines, hoping to help you find the one that suits you best.
So, let's get started!
⸻
Stop 1 | Hebikubo Shrine
Tokyo's Most Powerful White Snake Wealth Shrine 🐍
📍 Address: 4-4-12 Futaba, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo 142-0043
If I could only recommend one more wealth shrine to you today, besides Koami Shrine, the very first one that comes to mind would definitely be Hebikubo Shrine.
Located in a residential area in Shinagawa Ward, it doesn't have as many tourists as Asakusa or Nihonbashi, but in Japan, it's a famous wealth spot in many people's hearts, drawing quite a few visitors who make a special trip here every year.
Hebikubo Shrine enshrines the White Snake Great Deity (Shirohebi Ookami) and Benzaiten. Since the white snake has always been regarded as a symbol of wealth, good fortune, and luck in Japan, it attracts many people to pray for financial luck and career success.
When you come here, you absolutely can't miss the "Shirohebi Shimizu" Zeniarai (money-washing) experience. Washing your bills or coins in the sacred water symbolizes washing away bad luck and getting your financial luck flowing again.
Although some might find it a bit mystical, it's exactly this sense of ritual that makes the visit more memorable.
Many people will even put the washed bills in their wallets and not spend them, keeping them as their own "lucky money."
⭐ Personal Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If it's your first time experiencing Tokyo's Zeniarai culture, I even feel that Hebikubo Shrine offers a more engaging experience than Koami Shrine. Plus, with relatively fewer crowds, it's much more comfortable to visit, making it a great place to take your time snapping photos and soaking in the shrine's atmosphere.

Stop 2 | Fukutoku Shrine (Mebuki Inari)
The Most Famous Wealth Shrine in Tokyo's Financial District 💹
📍 Address: 2-4-14 Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 103-0022
If your work is related to investments, finance, sales, or entrepreneurship, then I'd definitely recommend visiting Fukutoku Shrine.
The shrine is located right next to COREDO Muromachi in Nihonbashi, surrounded by modern high-rises, creating a very interesting contrast. On one side is a bustling commercial street, and on the other is a quiet, solemn shrine. ⛩️
Since the Edo period, Nihonbashi has been a major commercial hub, so Fukutoku Shrine has long been regarded as an important shrine symbolizing wealth, business prosperity, and career luck.
Here, you can often see office workers in suits taking advantage of their lunch breaks to come and pray. Some press their hands together in silent prayer, while others quickly head back to their companies after paying their respects.
That kind of scene gives me a real sense of everyday Japanese life. Perhaps what everyone is praying for isn't just wealth, but a smooth workday, successfully sealing a deal, or striving for a better opportunity for themselves.
⭐ Personal Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you're hoping for a promotion, a raise, a successful startup, or if you work in sales or finance, I highly recommend adding Fukutoku Shrine to your itinerary. The prayers here lean more toward "earned wealth" and career development rather than windfall luck.

Stop 3 | Hie Shrine
The Favorite Career Success Shrine Among Tokyo's Politicians and Business Elites ⛩️
📍 Address: 2-10-5 Nagatacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-0014
When it comes to Tokyo's most famous shrines for career luck, Hie Shrine is definitely on the list.
Located in Nagatacho, it's right near the National Diet Building, the Prime Minister's Official Residence, and many government agencies, making it a shrine frequently visited by politicians and business leaders for a long time.
It was only after living in Tokyo that I gradually came to understand that the Japanese perspective on "financial luck" is actually quite different from what we might imagine.
Many Japanese people believe that a good job, a good boss, good connections, and even a crucial opportunity are all part of financial luck.
And what Hie Shrine is best at protecting is precisely this kind of fortune.
Additionally, Hie Shrine has a very cute feature: its divine messengers aren't the familiar Komainu (lion-dogs), but monkeys.
Because the Japanese word for monkey, "saru" (猿), sounds exactly like "saru" (去る), meaning "to leave," it carries the auspicious meaning of "ma ga saru" (evil leaves), hoping that bad luck will depart and good luck will arrive.
The monkey amulets (omamori) at the shrine have always been very popular and are among my personal favorites to collect. Whenever friends visit Tokyo, I often recommend they bring one back home.
⭐ Personal Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you're currently preparing to change jobs, seeking a promotion, starting a business, or hoping for a new breakthrough in your career, I think Hie Shrine is definitely worth a visit.

Stop 4 | Anahachimangu Shrine
Tokyo's Wealth-Attracting Shrine with the Most Ritualistic Feel 🌅
📍 Address: 2-1-11 Nishiwaseda, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 162-0051
If you visit Tokyo between December and February of the following year, there's a good chance you'll see a long, winding queue outside a shrine.
Don't doubt it—that's very likely Anahachimangu Shrine.
The most famous thing here is the "Ichiyou Raifuku Omamori," considered by Japanese people to be one of the ultimate representative amulets for attracting wealth.
Every year, many people make special trips from other prefectures just to get this one amulet.
However, the most unique part is that once you get the amulet, you can't just put it in your wallet or hang it up right away. Instead, according to the shrine's rules, it must be attached to a specific location in your home at a designated date and time.
Because of this, many people say it's Tokyo's most "ritualistic" wealth amulet.
One evening, I passed by Anahachimangu and saw the queue looping around multiple times—I was genuinely a bit shocked.
Later, after asking Japanese friends, I learned that many families have been coming regularly for ten or twenty years. For them, it's long stopped being just about buying an amulet; it's an essential yearly habit they can't do without.
⭐ Personal Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you're an investor, an entrepreneur, a freelancer, or simply hoping for smoother financial luck in the new year, I highly recommend scheduling a visit here.

Stop 5 | Shinagawa Shrine
One of the Ten Shrines of Tokyo, and a Local Shrine I Really Love 🌿
📍 Address: 3-7-15 Kitashinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo 140-0001
When many people think of Shinagawa, the first things that come to mind are the Shinkansen or airport transfers.
But actually, tucked away not far from the station is the historic Shinagawa Shrine. It's not just one of the Ten Shrines of Tokyo; it's also a shrine that many Tokyoites visit in their daily lives.
The most famous spot in the shrine is the "Ichiryumanbai no Izumi" (Spring of One Grain, Ten Thousand Folds). It symbolizes that a small amount of effort can lead to a massive harvest in the future. Because of this meaning, it attracts many people praying for financial and career luck, hoping their hard work will blossom.
Additionally, a complete "Fujizuka" (a miniature Mount Fuji) is preserved here. If you don't have the chance to climb the actual Mount Fuji, you can experience a mini version of the climbing pilgrimage right here.
Looking down from the top, the entire shrine and residential area unfold before your eyes. That quiet, peaceful atmosphere is one of the reasons I love Shinagawa Shrine so much.
⭐ Personal Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you happen to be staying near Shinagawa, I highly recommend dropping by.
With fewer crowds than the popular tourist spots, it offers an extra touch of everyday Tokyo life.

Stop 6 | Okunitama Shrine
One of Tokyoites' Favorite Power Spots 🌳
📍 Address: 3-1 Miyamachi, Fuchu, Tokyo 183-0023
If you want to experience a large shrine that local Tokyoites truly visit, I highly recommend taking a trip to Okunitama Shrine.
Located in Fuchu City, it boasts a history of over 1,900 years and was the principal shrine of the former Musashi Province, holding a very important status in Tokyo's shrine community.
Its main enshrined deity has deep ties with Okuninushi-no-Kami of Izumo Taisha, so it has long been a place of worship for wealth, business prosperity, good luck, and good matchmaking.
Compared to those popular shrines in the city center, there are far fewer foreign tourists here. Instead, you're much more likely to see Japanese families, seniors, and even nearby residents taking leisurely walks and praying.
I personally really love it here, not just because the shrine is beautiful, but more so because every time I visit, I can feel a very calming atmosphere. No rushing, no crowds—just taking a quiet stroll leaves you feeling so much better.
⭐ Personal Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you enjoy in-depth travel or want to see a side of Tokyo different from the popular tourist areas, I highly recommend planning a half-day trip to Fuchu. Okunitama Shrine is absolutely worth it.

Actually, having lived in Tokyo for over 10 years, I've seen many people come to shrines to pray for wealth, as well as for jobs, promotions, and career success.
I slowly realized something.
What truly changes a person's life has never been the amulets or the talismans.
It's that moment when you stand in the shrine, close your eyes to make a wish, and you start seriously thinking about what you truly want to pursue, willing to try hard for that goal once again.
I think this might be the most charming part of a shrine. What it brings us isn't necessarily the wealth itself, but the courage to start fresh and the strength to believe that the future will get better and better.
If you come to Tokyo next time, don't just schedule one shrine. Why not slow down, visit a few different shrines, and experience their unique histories, cultures, and atmospheres?
Perhaps the greatest harvest you'll bring home won't be financial luck, but a beautiful travel memory.
