Japan 2019: Shinto Shrine


One of the things you find in Japan, even in Urban areas, is Shinto Shrines, where the kami (the deity, or the physical manifestation of the deity) dwells.  In some cases this was landmark - a stone, a pool, a stream.  In time the city grew up around it - but the Shrine is still there.  In my various travels in urban Japan this is not unsurprising - you will be walking through the middle of something and suddenly a shrine will be present.
