Shrines are a very important part of Japanese Culture. They often recognize the oddities and imperfections of the people and events they honor. Dont miss this one if you are in the area.
Small local shrine

In Shimbashi we were walking around and discovered this small shrine off the tourist path. Seems to be for locals who stop by as they are walking through the area. It was a nice little discovery.
