[[File:Asakusashrine.jpg|right|thumb|320px|The entrance to Asakusa Shrine]]
*''Japanese'': 浅草神社 ''(Asakusa Shrine)''
Asakusa Shrine is a [[Shinto shrine]] on the grounds of the Buddhist temple [[Senso-ji|Sensô-ji]] in the [[Asakusa]] neighborhood of [[Tokyo]]. It enshrines the spirits of Hinokuma no Hamanari and Takenari, the two figures who are said to have discovered a golden statue of [[Kannon]] in [[628]], and of Haji no Matsuchi, who made the statue the central object of worship at Sensô-ji, the temple established for that purpose.
The current main shrine building dates to [[1649]], when it was rebuilt under [[Tokugawa Iemitsu]].
