[Tokyo] Akabane Hachiman Shrine: A small, relaxing sanctuary on a hill overlooking the trains

Akabane Hachiman Shrine is located on a hill in Akabane, Kita Ward, Tokyo. ⛩️
About a 10-minute walk from the station, the shrine grounds are surrounded by a pleasant greenery,
a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city center,
and are enveloped in a tranquil space!

What's more, this shrine is unique nationwide in that it sits directly above the JR train tracks! As you climb the steps leading to the shrine, the sight of Shinkansen and conventional trains passing directly below is truly impressive.
It's known as the "Shrine on the Railroad Tracks." 🚄

A moment of tranquility as you gaze upon the trains from atop the hill. 😌
A small sanctuary in the city, perfect for making a quiet wish. 🌿
