Kanda-myoujin is a shrine that has a history of 1,300 years, and is located in Chiyoda district, Tokyo. It enshrines three main gods: Oomunamachi no Mikoto (god of marriage), Taira no Masakado no Mikoto (god of business success) and Sukunahikona no Mikoto (god of protection from evil). One of the largest stone statues of Ookunisama is enshrined within the grounds. Furthermore, the shrine is also famous for Kanda Sai, which is one of the three largest Japanese festivals. In 1600, Tokugawa Ieyasu gave prayers of invocation here and wished for  victory in the Battle of Sekigahara. As a result, Tokugawa won the battle on 15 September. Since then, the Tokugawa family made orders for a festival to be held yearly on that day. Several thousand people also visit the shrine on new year’s eve to wish for household harmony, a love knot, improved business, or prosperity
