Escalators beside the stone steps make getting up part of the outing. Even the climb is a game: a girl of about two walked, got carried partway, then rode up. Up top, monkey statues stand before the main hall where guardian dogs usually do, and the mother monkey holds a baby. So the loop: ride up, meet the monkeys, walk down through the red gates. - Area: Tokyo - Type: See - Hours: GO TOKYO, Tokyo's official tourism site, lists the hours as 6:00 to 17:00. - Last verified: 2026-10-14 ## Family facts (value + conditions + source + verified date) | Feature | Value | Conditions | Verified | Source | |---|---|---|---|---| | Nursing space | Yes | A May 2026 post describes a nursing room at the back of the first floor of Hie Akasaka (the shrine's wedding hall); a September 2022 visitor found none, so reports differ. | 2026-05-15 (web) | [source](https://mamamap.jp/spots/12345) | | Diaper changing table | Yes | The Tokyo metropolitan accessibility listing (Daredemo Tokyo, February 2024) shows a count of 2 for diaper changing tables, with no floor or location given. | 2024-02-27 (web) | [source](https://www.daredemo-tokyo.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/en/facility/park/40140/) | | Family restroom | Yes | | 2026-10-14 (web) | [source](https://ameblo.jp/e046180/entry-12765395514.html) | | Stroller friendly | Yes | | 2017-09-20 (web) | [source](https://hiayha.hatenablog.com/entry/2017/09/20/184016) | | Lost-child support | Not checked yet | | | | | Indoor / outdoor | Outdoor | The grounds are outdoors, with more roofed areas than one visitor expected; on a rainy day photos came out much as on a sunny day. | 2026-10-14 (web) | [source](https://ameblo.jp/e046180/entry-12765395514.html) | | Diaper disposal bin | Yes | A diaper bin sits in the women's changing room of Hie Akasaka (the shrine's wedding hall), reported in March 2017. | 2017-03-26 (web) | [source](https://mamamap.jp/spots/12345) | | Kids' toilet seat & step stool | Not checked yet | | | | | Elevator | Yes | A January 2026 visitor used an elevator on the parking-lot side to reach the grounds without stairs; the Tokyo metropolitan accessibility listing (Daredemo Tokyo, February 2024) says there is none, so reports differ. | 2026-01-06 (web) | [source](https://note.com/shinya_karuizawa/n/nb95f0392dc36) | | English support | Not checked yet | | | | | Outside food allowed | Not checked yet | | | | | Official family-friendly certification | Not checked yet | | | | | High chair | Not checked yet | | | | | Kids' menu | Yes | The Sanno Saryo cafe in the grounds has a kids' plate (fried chicken, spaghetti napolitan, fries and more), presented as a meal for a Shichi-go-san celebration, by reservation three days ahead. | 2026-10-14 (web) | [source](https://sannosaryo.net/cafe/menu/) | | Best-fit ages (guide) | Not checked yet | | | | ## How to cite these facts Free to reuse.
