Nezu Shrine
This is what Senso-ji looked like before March 10, 1945. I come here to reverse-engineer the temples I can never see again.
One of Tokyo's oldest shrines, rebuilt 1706 by the fifth Tokugawa shogun. Original Edo-period construction, largely intact. Survived both 1923 and 1945 because of its position on slightly elevated ground.
