When you visit shrines in Tokyo, you'll often be surprised at the sacred places that have been 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 with 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 the Japanese people of the past that remain in old photos.
There is a Japan that seems to be forgotten. I really don't want to forget the forgotten Japan.

The photos are around 100 years old, some are around 150 years old, and some are 85 years old.

Please feel a connection with people from the past.

Narration by Ondoku

My name is Noda Mayu. Shrines and temples are mysterious sanctuaries, and the more you learn about them, the more you are overwhelmed by what you don't know. I will be sharing the charms of my favorite shrines around Tokyo. And sometimes temples too.

No matter how small the shrine, there is a history of Japanese people who have lived and cherished the 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 once again lining up at shrines and temples to pray.
