[Tokyo] A shrine with a huge Hotei statue

Kifune Shrine ⛩️
𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃
A large statue of Hotei stands out at the entrance of this shrine.

It was previously located in the Kokusai Motors building, but was moved to Kifune Shrine when the building was relocated!

The approach to the shrine is a bit long, which is a distinctive feature.

The deities enshrined are
Takaokami no Okami and Susanoo no Mikoto

Founded in 709 at the request of Fujiwara Isehito.

There are quite a few shrines within the grounds, including Michiomiya Shrine, Mitsugi Inari Shrine, Oyamazumi Shrine (three shrines combined), and Soreisha Shrine.
