With a car.

The shrine

With lanterns and a mushroom bearing names.

Alley

Tokyo is a city of contrasts; the old and the new are everywhere intermixed.

Temple entrance

I think by the ornate roof and the posts that it is a Buddhist temple and not a Shinto shrine, but I am not certain, sorry.

Going in

Going back into the temple, or shrine. You can just see the Phœnix in the background.

Shrine entrance

Costumed people enter the shrine.

Outside the temple

I think there is a temple at the top of the stairs, and a shrine on the right, but I am foreign and know very little.

Going in

Will they take the mikoshi?

Tabi

Black socks.

Welcoming the mikoshi 1

The white official is going to wave a green branch over the phœnix and its temple.
