Gojoten Shrine

This shrine is so quiet that one almost forgets that it is next to Hanazono Inari Shrine (Ana Inari).

Although it is the same shrine, the atmosphere is completely different.
The sanctuary was noticed above the Suribachi Mountain burial mound until the Muromachi Period.

There were many other burial mounds in the Ueno area, such as the Sakuraundai burial mound, the Hebizuka burial mound, and the Hyokeikan burial mound.
There were many other burial mounds in Ueno, but they were destroyed by the construction of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan and the Tokyo National Museum.

I imagine that perhaps the owners of these burial mounds were the helpers of Yamatotakeru in his eastern expedition.

When I visit shrines in Tokyo, I am 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!
