This hidden gem in Tokyo feels like Kyoto—without the crowds. 📌 Save this post for your Tokyo trip! Tucked away in Akasaka, just a 3-min walk from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, Hie Shrine has its own mini “thousand torii” tunnel. It’s peaceful, stunning, and completely free to visit. If you’ve always wanted that iconic red gate photo without the Kyoto crowds—this hidden spot is perfect. The Shrine is daily from 6am–4:00pm , but you can still enjoy the red torii gates even after the temple closes. #visittokyo #hieshrine #tokyoshrine #thousandtoriigates #tokyotravel #exploretokyo #uktravelblogger #uktraveller #romaniantravelblogger hidden gems Tokyo | things to do in Tokyo | Tokyo travel guide | secret spots Tokyo | Tokyo off the beaten path | Tokyo hidden shrines | non-touristy things to do Tokyo | local spots Tokyo | Tokyo travel tips | Tokyo walking tour ideas | best shrines in Tokyo | Fushimi Inari alternative | Tokyo photo spots | unique experiences in Tokyo | underrated spots in Tokyo | Instagrammable places Tokyo |
