  • Fukagawa Fudodo is actually the Tokyo branch of Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, located in Koto Ward in eastern Tokyo.

  • The architecture is really unique, and the taiko drums and fire ritual make for a special prayer experience.
    There's also a shopping street in front of the temple where you can shop, eat, and take photos.
    It's a really different kind of area.
