Visiting Tokyo's shrines is often surprising, as they are sacred places that have been protected from the public for so long.
Floods, fires, earthquakes, war damage, and materialism.
Small shrines, shrines on the rooftops of buildings, shrines directly beneath highways.
Sacred places that support people in all forms, and the guardians that protect them.
I made this video because I wanted to share these beautiful images.
Japanese landscapes and Japanese people of the past preserved in old photographs.
There lies a Japan that seems almost 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 feel a connection with people from the past.

Narration by Ondoku

My name is Mayu Noda. The more I learn about shrines and temples, the more I am overwhelmed by what I don't know.
They are mysterious sanctuaries. I'll be sharing the charms of my favorite shrines around Tokyo. I'll also be sharing the occasional temple.

Even the smallest shrines have a history of Japanese people cherishing their deities.

If you have the time, please visit a shrine near you.

You'll be able to connect with your ancient Japanese ancestors.

My dream is to see Japanese people once again lining up at shrines and temples to pray.

Please support this channel!

Historical Secret: No parent would abandon their child just because they wanted to.
