Casual sightseeing in Tokyo - Apartment building with Shrine

By Muza-chan on Oct 8, 2009 | In Japan travel | 5 feedbacks »

In Tokyo, on Ohmon-dori, close to the Suitengumae station, I discovered this small Shrine with an unusual location, in an apartment building.

Matsushima Shrine

The torii and the temizuya are located just outside, while the Shrine occupies the first floor of the building.

Small and simple, but it looks beautiful:

An example of maximized space usage often seen in Japan, in a small space there is the Shrine, the apartment building entrance and a small parking space.
The car is probabily part of the landscape, it was recorded at the same place by the Google Car. :)
