Otaku Elf

Takamimi Shrine, which has a history of over 400 years since the Edo period, is situated in Tsukishima, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. The deity enshrined there is an elf who was summoned from another world and has become a complete recluse.

The elf deity, Elda, is served by Koito Koganei, the 15th generation shrine maiden of Takamimi Shrine. While being swept along by Elda, who enjoys modern civilization and geeky hobbies, she is thrilled by the Edo culture she learns about from her, and is warmed by the unbroken chain of connections between the people of Tsukishima and Elda. But this elf is still too lazy! What's more, an elf and shrine maiden duo from another shrine even appears...?

A laid-back downtown comedy that connects Edo and the new era of Reiwa is about to begin.

Sightseeing Spot in This Area

Chuo Ward, home to Ginza, Nihonbashi, and Tsukiji.
The Tsukishima/Tsukuda area, where the anime is set, is a man-made island that was reclaimed from the Edo period to the Showa period. The alleyways still have a downtown feel to them, giving them a sense of nostalgia. On the other hand, there are also many high-rise apartment buildings, and at dusk, the waterfront zone, where pleasure boats pass through the shadows of the skyscrapers reflected on the surface of the Sumida River, is a great place for a stroll. After eating monjayaki, you can also enjoy the romantic night view from Sumida River Terrace.
