Japanese Historical Secret Story: Wish Upon a Straw, Koiwa Shrine
https://youtu.be/hA7yD5TBhig

When you visit shrines in Tokyo, you'll often be surprised at the sanctuaries that have been protected by the people.
Floods, fires, earthquakes, war damage, and materialism.
Small shrines, shrines on the rooftops of buildings, shrines right under the highway.
A sacred place that supports people in whatever form, and a guardian that protects it.
I wanted to share this beautiful sight, so I made this video.
Old photographs of Japanese landscapes and Japanese people of the past.
There is a Japan that seems likely to be forgotten. I really don't want to forget this forgotten Japan.
The photographs are around 100 years old, some are around 150 years old, and some are 85 years old.
Please come and feel the connection with people from the past.

Narration by Ondoku

My name is Noda Mayu. The more you learn about shrines and temples, the more you are overwhelmed by what you don't know
A mysterious sanctuary. I will be sharing the charms of the shrines around Tokyo, which I love. Sometimes I'll even go to temples.

No matter how small the shrine, there is a history of Japanese people who lived and cherished their gods

If you have time, please visit the shrine near where you live

You can connect with your ancestors from long ago in Japan

My dream is to see so many Japanese people lining up at shrines and temples again
