Tokyo Revengers' Musashi Shrine: Toman's Meeting Place
Location Guide · 3 min read

The Musashi Shrine in Tokyo Revengers is modeled on Numabukuro Hikawa Shrine in Nakano, Tokyo. The shrine's name in the series is fictional — there is no Musashi Shrine at Toman's meeting spot on any map — but the torii-framed grounds where Mikey addresses the Tokyo Manji Gang are drawn from this real, roughly 800-year-old neighborhood shrine, a two-minute walk from Numabukuro Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line. The match isn't just fan detective work: the shrine itself sells official Tokyo Revengers collaboration goshuin and omamori, an on-the-record embrace of its role in the series.
The scene: where Toman was born
Musashi Shrine — the Toman meeting place — is the emotional center of Tokyo Revengers' 2005 timeline. It's where the Tokyo Manji Gang is founded, where the full gang assembles in uniform before every major conflict, and where the series stages its most iconic image — hundreds of members in black filling the shrine grounds under lantern light while Mikey speaks from the steps. Anime Itinerary tracks the shrine's verified appearance with its exact episode and scene on the Tokyo Revengers real-life locations page, alongside 25 other verified spots from the series.
The choice of setting does real narrative work. Toman doesn't meet in Shibuya's neon — it meets in the kind of quiet, residential shrine that anchors every western-Tokyo neighborhood. That's the whole texture of the series: the gang belongs to the suburbs, and the shrine scenes are what make the 2005 timeline feel like a hometown rather than a backdrop.
The real shrine: Numabukuro Hikawa Shrine
Numabukuro Hikawa Shrine is an active place of worship in Nakano Ward with a history reaching back roughly eight centuries. It's a working neighborhood shrine — annual festivals, weddings, families at New Year — that happens to have become one of Tokyo's busiest anime pilgrimage stops. The Tokyo Revengers collaboration items (goshuin stamps and omamori amulets in the series' style) are sold on the grounds, and they've become the standard souvenir of the pilgrimage.
Two things surprise most visitors. First, how small it is: the anime's crowd scenes make the grounds feel vast, but the real shrine is intimate, which makes frame-matching the entrance and main hall easy. Second, how ordinary the surrounding streets are — you walk to it through exactly the kind of residential backstreets the series lives in.
How to visit the Toman meeting place
Take the Seibu Shinjuku Line to Numabukuro Station — about fifteen minutes from Seibu-Shinjuku — and the shrine is a two-minute walk away. It pairs naturally with the rest of a Tokyo Revengers day: the Shibuya cluster of locations sits a straightforward train ride south, and the Tama River scenes are along the lines heading further west. Save the spots you want from the Tokyo Revengers locations page and build the route in the planner to string them together with real transit connections.
Etiquette matters more here than at most anime locations, because this is an active shrine in a quiet neighborhood. Photograph the grounds, not worshippers; keep voices down on the approach streets; and if you want to support the shrine, the collaboration goshuin is the way to do it. Our primer on what anime pilgrimage (seichi junrei) is covers the full etiquette.
