Shrine on Rooftop of Building in Tokyo [iPhone 4S/HD] | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
Here in Japan, there are small shrines here and there. You can see them in mountains, on seashores, beside rice fields, in residential areas, and even in developed city areas. Ginza, Tokyo is one of the most luxurious shopping and gourmet districts in the world, but it is not so difficult to find a shrine there once you go down back streets. Asahi Inari Shrine, one of the 'largest' small shrines in Ginza, settles beside a back street three blocks away from the main street. This Shinto shrine appears as a common small shrine among buildings at a glance, but is a bit different. The shrine you can see at the street is not a main shrine. When a building was built where once the shrine was, the main shrine was moved to the rooftop of the building. They also built the vice-shrine beside the street for people to make it accessible to worship. This is a kind of an urban-type shrine. - Shot in 1080p full HD with an iPhone 4S on Jun. 14th, 2012

It's now rainy season here. The rainy season of Japan is different from your country's one and we seldom see the sun. But luckily, it was sunny all day when I took this video. I'm planning to make a video about the rainy season of Japan. Look forward!
