Akiba Shrine, Mukojima

The front approach to the shrine is narrow as it is sandwiched between houses, and it seems a miracle that it remains.

Even near the roadway, the atmosphere is strangely tranquil as you enter the shrine grounds.
It seems to be a god of Inari and fire prevention, but there are also stone lanterns dedicated by feudal lords and force stones dedicated by the village,
The relics that remain in the precincts of the shrine show that it was believed in by everyone from feudal lords to the common people.

Nowadays, it is a place where people can sit and rest like a park.

When we visit shrines in Tokyo, we are often amazed at the sanctuaries that have been protected by the people.
Flood, fire, earthquake, war, and worship.
Small shrines, shrines perched on the rooftops of buildings, and shrines directly under expressways.
Sanctuaries that are close to people in any form, and the guardians who protect them.
I made this video to share these beautiful images with you!
The Japanese landscape and the Japanese people of the past remain in old photographs.
Some of the photos are around 100 years old, some are about 150 years old, and some are 85 years old.
Please feel the connection with people from the past!

Furusato (Hometown)
A Japanese children's song with music by Teiichi Okano and lyrics by Tatsuyuki Takano.
It is a shoka published by the Ministry of Education in 1914 for the sixth grade of "Shoka for Elementary Schools in Japan".

Fishing for crucian carp, the river of Kano
Yume ha mondemo megurite
I will never forget my hometown.

How are your parents?
Tsutsugami-no-shinai ya tomogaki (Tsutsugami-no-shinashi, Tomogaki)
"Even in the rain and wind..."
I remember my hometown.

"I will follow my heart."
Someday I will return home.
Mountains are blue, my hometown.
The water is clear.

Akatombo (The Red Dragonfly)
Lyrics by Rofu Miki, music by Kosaku Yamada

Akatombo, the red dragonfly of evening glow
When was the last time you saw them?

I picked mulberries in the mountain fields
I picked them in a little basket, but they were nothing but maboroshi

When I was fifteen, my elder sister married a bride.
And there was no more news from my hometown

Red dragonflies at sunset
They're perched on the end of a pole

My name is Mayu Noda.
I will introduce the charm of shrines around Tokyo, which I love.
Sometimes temples too.
