History and things to know
According to the official guide, it was founded in Hibiya in Meiji 13 as a shrine in Tokyo for worshipping Ise Jingū from afar, and was called Hibiya Daijingū. After the Great Kantō Earthquake it moved to its present site in Shōwa 3 and became Iidabashi Daijingū, and after the war it was renamed Tōkyō Daijingū. The Shinto wedding ceremony widely held today is said to have been started by this shrine.
