When you visit shrines in Tokyo, you are often surprised by the sacred places that have continued to be protected by the people.
Floods, fires, earthquakes, war damage, and materialism.
Small shrines, shrines enshrined on the rooftops of buildings, shrines directly under the highway.
Sacred places that are there for people in any form, and the guardians who protect them.
I made this video because I wanted to share those beautiful images.
Japanese landscapes and Japanese people of the past preserved in old photographs.
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 even 85 years old.
Please come and feel the connection with the people of 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 my favorite shrines around Tokyo. Sometimes I'll also be showing temples.

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

If you have time, please visit a shrine near where you live.

You can connect with your ancestors from long ago.

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

And please support this channel.
