SHINTO SHRINE
Japantown isn't just restaurants with signs in kanji and nightclubs playing J-lazpop. It's a hub for Japanese culture, a home for those with strong connections to the land of the rising sun - both material and spiritual. Many visit this shrine to learn more about Japanese tradition or simply take a break from the rat-race of the city.[3]

Notes[]
- The shrine has two Torii gates, one after the stairs on the outer compound and the other in front of the main hall.
- The Chōzuya (pavillon for ritual purification) is behind the first gate and there is no means of purification in front of it.
- The kanji at the first gate read "Night City Jinja Memorial", with a literal word-for-word translation of "Night City".
