Shrine in Mita, Minato Ward, guardian lion on the approach to Motoshinmei Shrine

Motoshinmeigu Shrine, a shrine located in Mita 1-chome, Minato-ku, TokyoFounded by imperial order of Emperor Ichijo in the second year of Kanko (1005 AD) during the Heian period.It is also the birth place deity of the brave warrior Watanabe Tsuna of the Heian period, and was revered by many warriors.When the sacred treasures and the sacred object were moved to Iikura Shinmei (now Shiba Daijingu Shrine) by order of the Tokugawa family who entered Edo, the enthusiasm of the parishioners and worshippers led to the sacred object being hidden and guarded day and night, refusing to be handed over to the shrine grounds. https: youtu.be lc6wUMxn_84
