Oji Shrine (王子神社, Oji-jinja) is a Shinto shrine located in the Kita-ku ward of Tokyo, Japan.
Established during the Kamakura period (1185–1333), the shrine gives the name of "Oji" to this area of the city.[1]
It is notable for its giant glinkgo tree,[2] suspected to be 800 years old, and for its annual festival (held in August), which includes a mikoshi parade and a performance of dengaku dance.[3][4]
It is one of the Tokyo Ten Shrines (東京十社, Tokyo Jissha),[5] of which it has been designated as the "northern protector shrine".[6]

There is no admission fee for visitors to enter the shrine precincts, and there is parking space avaible.[7]
The entrances is at a 3 minute walk from the north exit of Oji Station on the Keihin-Tōhoku Line, or from exit 3 of the same station on the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, at a 5 minute walk from Ōji-ekimae Station and a 7 minute walk from Asukayama Station on the Toden Arakawa Line.[8]
