Last month after eating at curry at Zaza in Sangenjaya, I was headed off to walk around the neighborhood of Kudanshita. There are two popular sites near this station - the often controverisal Yasukuni Shrine and popular concert venue Budokan.先月三茶カリー「Zaza」の店を出たら、九段下の周りに散歩することを決めてた。駅の近くに二つの名所がある。一つは何回も話題になった靖国神社。もう一つは人気コンサート会場の武道館。
It's a long walk to the actual shrine / 靖国神社までの距離は結構長い
Getting closer to the shrine / 神社に近付いてます
A short history of the Otori / 大鳥居の説明
Another view of the torii / 別の角度で見える鳥居
Original site of the first torii / 第一鳥居
Water offering to the war dead memorial / 慰霊の泉 ～戦犯者に水を捧げる母の像～
Bronze statue of Vice Minister of War - Omura Masujiro
I can see the shrine! / やっと神社が見えてきた
Before heading to the actual shrine, there were these two large lamp posts with these incredible bas-reliefs on near the base.神社に行く前に入り口に二つのでっかい灯柱があって、下の部分の薄肉彫りが凄い！
To be continued...
つづく。。。
