The Hie Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Nagatacho, in the Chiyoda district (Tokyo). Its Sanno Matsuri, which takes place on June 15, is one of the three great Japanese festivals of Edo, the forerunner of Tokyo. The procession consisted of the Edo period 45 floats, was accompanied by singers and dancers and was considered to be one of the best festivals in Tokyo. Nowadays the festival takes place on a smaller scale, but is definitely worth seeing.
The main god of the shrine is Oyamakui-no-kami, the god of Mount Hie in Shiga Prefecture. This deity is also commonly known as Hie-no-kami, from which the Hie shrine gets its name.
The shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa began ruling Japan from Edo Castle. He also became the patron saint of the Hie Shrine and worshiped the deity as the protector of Edo. The citizens of Edo also had a strong trust in the Hie Shrine, where the shogun's patron deity was worshiped.

The National Diet Building was constructed between 1920 and 1936 and is where both houses of the National Diet of Japan meet. The House of Representative sessions take place in the left-wing, while the House of Councillors meets in the right-wing. Interestingly, the Diet Building is constructed out of Japanese-made materials, save for the stained glass, door locks, and pneumatic tube system. Plans for the Diet Building began as early as 1880, however, thanks to design disputes, the fall of the Ito government, and two separate fires (destroying the first building in 1891 and the second in 1925) they were postponed. It wasn’t until 1918 when a public design competition sponsored by the Finance Ministry that the design by Watanabe Fukuzo won and a final image for the building was created. Tour of the House of Representatives Free English tours are available of the National Diet, for non-Japanese visitors. Each session takes about 60 minutes, with slots limited and advance email reservation required. They take place every weekday afternoon (3pm, or 2pm on Mondays). Discover more Tour of the House of Councillors A free 60-minute tour can be joined without prior reservation, during visiting hours.
