Tokyo

As was mentioned in the previous section, Tokyo has a population of less than 14 million. If you ask the locals where they would recommend you to go and where everything is located, unfortunately they will be quite lost. Even to the taxi driver has to be told the exact address of the place.

Here are some tips on which places to visit during your stay

Art Aquarium Museum Ginza - the whole project can be found in a high-rise building on the 9th and 8th floors, very nicely lit aquariums of all possible shapes with goldfish.

Asakusa Shinto Shrine - Located together with Senso-ji Temple in the Asakusa district, they are sometimes confused. However, the Asakusa Shrine is a Shinto building, the Senso-ji is a Buddhist building. 

Ginza - the largest commercial district of Tokyo, among the nice types to visit is the Art Aquarium Museum Ginza. Among other things, it is called the Champs-Elysees of Tokyo, the first cars drove here and charleston was danced.

Haneda Airport - one of the two airports in Tokyo, located closer to the city center.

Kaminari-mon Gate - a gate with an alley leading to Senso-ji and Asakusa Shrine full of food and gift shops.

Kyókó ~ Imperial Palace - as the name suggests, this is the imperial palace where the emperor and his family reside. The building itself can only be visited twice a year, on January 2 as part of the new year and on February 23 on the emperor’s birthday, but the queue is so long that one thinks twice about spending half the day standing. On a normal day, the surrounding park is available (Kokyo Gaien National Garden ~ Imperial Park).

Nihonbashi - a city district where you will find the Imperial Palace and many offices, where at lunchtime everyone rushes out and goes to wait for their turn for lunch in many buildings owned by one of the companies such as Coredo, which specializes in hospitality.

Senso-ji Temple - a Buddhist temple complex known mainly for its huge red lanterns, confused with Asakura Shrine.

Shibuya - if you are in Japan for the first time, be sure to visit this part of the city first, on its border with Harajuku is the Meiji Shrine Shrine.

Shinjuku - a city district full of monuments with a famous illuminated intersection, you will also find the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office or huge gardens to relax.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden - a popular place for family picnics, relaxation and above all a great place to watch the cherry blossoms fall off in May.

TeamLab Planets - there are two places in Tokyo, one on Toyos, the other on Azabudai Hills, it is a perceptual experience, where the first thing to enter is an instructional video on how to adapt to the space. That is, without shoes, socks, in short trousers and watch out for skirts, because part of the floor is covered by mirrors. You can find others in Sapporo, Macau or Beijing. Or you will come across a time-limited event in some department stores, museums or galleries with paintings.

Tokyo Tower - known as a transmitter from several paintings, shows and anime. It is also popular thanks to the lighting, which changes according to the hour, so you need to find out whether only the spotlights are lit or whether it is illuminated completely. It is a painting of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but it is only 333 meters high.

Toyokawa Inari Tokyo Betsuin - Despite repeated disasters since establishment, such as the Great Kanto Earthquake and WW2, Toyokawa Inari Betsuin has repelatedly been reconstructed thanks to the sincere support from devoted votaries. Toyokawa Inari is the Buddhist temple of the Soto sect, which enshrined Toyokawa Dakini-shinten. Praying at this temple may bring yourself and your family happiness and well-being, as well as prosperity in business and better fortune. Toyokawa Inari provides facilities that can be used for worshipping praying and rejuvenating your mind. It is said that, in ancient times, the third son of Emperor Juntoku underwent a spiritual experience in which the deity Dakini-Shinten appeared on the back of a white fox with a rice plant slung over his back. The prince embodied this exsperience into the statue of Dakini-Shinten. The statue was later brought to the residence of Ooka Echizen-no-kami (Akasaka Hitotsuigi, Tokyo) during the Edo era, and was finally enshrined in Toyokawa Inari Betsuin at its present location in 1887.

Cats Save People Cat Gods Who Continue to Protect Even in Death

With photos of Japanese people 100 years ago Tokyo Shrine

Located right across the street from Toyokawa Inari Tokyo Betsuin. A mysterious space, like a veranda or a mezzanine floor, was It is not a fox that is enshrined there. The cat enshrined there is not a fox, but a cat. A shrine with cats is called a cat shrine, but cats are the gods here. It is a sanctuary where "Mikii," who saved his owner's life many times, continues to be enshrined even after his death. Cats are capricious and self-centered, but one out of tens of thousands of cats is like this. One in tens of thousands of cats may be born and fall into this kind of god-cat that protects people. It is a space to be thankful and be healed by the cat statues.

Tengami fox shrine

TENGAMI FOX SHRINE FULL

TENGAMI FOX SHRINE SERIES

More details hereģ. Sasuke Inari Shrine Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture – A pleasant 20-25 minute walk north of the Great Buddha takes you to this quiet and tranquil place. These foxes have come from all over Japan and, having done their job of protecting their shrines (too old or broken?!), now rest here in retirement. Takayama Inari-Jinja Shrine Tsugaru, Aomori Prefecture – Another one that requires some effort to get to but the reward is not just plentiful torii gates but a path leading down to the water lined with a long row of stone foxes in all different poses.

TENGAMI FOX SHRINE FULL

At the rear of the main shrine are hundreds of stone foxes, some covered in moss, lining the perimeter and leading to another shrine packed full of white ceramic figurine foxes. Jozan Inari-Jinja Shrine Matsue, Shimane Prefecture – This shrine lies just beyond Matsue-jo castle but is within the moat and it’s grounds. Toyokawa Inari Tokyo Betsuin Motoakasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo – Although Inari is often associated with shrines, this Tokyo branch is actually a Buddhist temple with remnants of shrine influences such as the torii gates and hundreds of foxes on display! This is something of a hidden gem in Tokyo. Tourists come here for the sight of the many bright red torii gates meandering their way down towards the turquoise-blue ocean but there is a folkloric fox story relating to the place which goes back many decades and involves a white fox visiting a local fisherman in his sleep. Motonusumi Inari Shrine Nagato, Yamaguchi Prefecture – Not the easiest place to get to but well worth the effort. This shrine is one of the most popular tourist spots in all of Japan due to it’s never-ending torii gates that wind up the mountain. More details hereĨ. Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine Fushimi-ku, Kyoto – The most famous entry here. Look closely at the floor on entry and you can see some mysterious fox foot prints in the cement. Shōzoku Inari Jinja Kita-ku, Tokyo – A tiny shrine but a really important one as it marks the starting point for the annual Fox Pageant on New Years Eve. However, there is this major centre of Inari worship which can be the final port of call on an eight gods of fortune tour of the area. Anamori Inari Shrine Haneda, Ota-ku, Tokyo – Unless you live out here, it’s very rare that you’d come out this way for anything other than the nearby Haneda Airport. Luckily, there’s always time for a compilation post or two so here are the best fox-related shrines in Japan that I’ve been to thus far…ġ0. However, they’re mostly in Kyushu so with travel restrictions at the moment it might be a while until that trip is realised. Sad times indeed but there’s still a few more places I want to check out.

TENGAMI FOX SHRINE SERIES

The surprisingly successful ‘On The Fox Trail…’ series is pretty much on it’s last legs.

🦊Toyokawa Inari Betsuin Temple Akasaka (1828) is a Zen Buddhist temple that venerates the Inari (fox god) - a Shinto deity. Shinto & Buddhism are actually very different religions with different roots & traditions. But they often overlap in Japan when it comes to practice, with many Japanese considering themselves as members of both. ☸️⛩ for example here at the temple (Buddhism), I am doing the “temizu” purification ritual at a temizuya that is usually only found at Shinto shrines.
