Asahi Inari Shrine (rooftop, Ginza)

The model for the rooftop shrine where Hina receives her power — a real shrine on the roof of a Ginza office building.

A small Inari shrine on the roof of an office building in Ginza, with a ground-floor worship hall connected to it by a pipe so that offerings and prayers carry up. In the film the rooftop shrine sits on a derelict building; in reality that rooftop is here in Ginza, and it is open to anyone who takes the lift.

Why it is worth it

A shrine on an office roof in the middle of Ginza is one of the strangest small sights in Tokyo, and it is free and takes ten minutes.

When to go

Almost always empty.

Good to know

The building the derelict staircase came from, Yoyogi Kaikan, was demolished and the site redeveloped — do not go looking for it. Here, use the lift, keep quiet, and remember there are offices on the floors below.

Weathering With You
