My goal this day was to reach the well-heeled area of Omotesando Dori. Being an area I had not visited before and a station with rather confusing exits, I of course went the wrong way when I reached the street.
I was always curious to see if there would be people out shopping and going about. I do think crowds were still down. My guess is it's most likely because a lot of people live further out of Tokyo and with the rolling blackouts train service to and from those areas was questionable. Because TEPCO kept changing the schedule. I can totally understand the frustration of those who live there.
Luckily I did find something interesting even going the wrong way. It looked like a shrine.
This part of Omotesando Dori (street) has mostly newer buildings, some which are amazing. So this older little shrine seemed a bit anachronistic.
Sadly I can not read this so I don't know what shrine this is.
But I can tell that it look well funded.
It looks like a Shinto Inari Shrine complete with kitsune.
Most likely the shops in the area pay their respects here asking for business to do well.
Although the Kami here may be for something else besides helping businesses. Whatever the purpose, the banners here show this is a place people care for.
