Yanagimori Shrine
Yanagimori Jinja (Willow Forest Shrine) is a small Shinto Shrine in Chiyoda Ward beside the Kanda River just a couple of minutes from Akihabara. The Yanagimori Shrine features numerous statues of Tanuki (Raccoon Dog) who in Japanese folklore is a whimsical supernatural being with shape-shifting abilities. Its most prominent feature is its huge bulging scrotum and belly.
Yanagimori Shrine, founded in 1457 was not always a Tanuki Shrine, it began as an Inari Shrine featuring the fox. Nowadays Yanagimori Shrine is home to no less than six Shrines and the Chikara-ishi (strength stones) which were said to have been used by Sumo Wrestlers to test their strength at the beginning of the 20th century. #shiawasetravels #japan

Taken during my visit to Japan. After I went to Akihabara I visited a sacred shrine which enshrines three deities Daikokuten, Ebisu and Taira no Masakado. This place is called Kanda Myojin Shrine which is located in Tokyo's Chiyoda ward not far from Akihabara's Electric Town. So here's a little tour of the shrine. Hope you enjoy :)

Kanda Suda-cho, Chiyoda Ward: a District with Historic Houses 「神田須田町」
Towards the end of World War II US airplanes bombed Tokyo almost every day. Because of this, lots of places suffered fire and many houses were burnt down. However, quite fortunately this district Sudacho was left intact. That's why we can see stores and places that can date back to pre-war times.
