This gate (above) is in Bunkyo-ku near the busy intersection of Hongo-dori and Kasuga-dori. If you pass through the gate and proceed for about 200 meters there is a small shrine (pictured below). It seems like an unlikely place for a shrine.

Thanks for the pictures. I worked in Hongo for 4 years up to a few months ago and it's nice to see some of the place again. A walk around the back streets of Hongo and Nishikata turns up a lot of pretty old houses, as I'm sure you know. If you ever have time to post pictures of any it would be appreciated.
Thanks again!

I'll see what I can do, I usually just go there to eat at Qinos(Best pastrami sandwiches in Tokyo!) or The Firehouse (Best burgers in Tokyo!).

Yeah the Firehouse is great, never went to Qinos though. I liked the ramen place a bit up from McDonald's. Ahh memories memories!
