Hanazono Jinja Shrine 花園神社

Have you found yourself? A few more steps and you're in Hanazo Jinja, a small refuge of silence and recollection, and maybe the last traces of Tokyo before it was carried away by modernity. This place is great for a break after a walk in Shinjuku, and every Sunday their is a market of antiques and trinkets.

At night, the interior lights illuminate the site with a mysterious light. While the Kabukicho area begins its hectic night life, the Japanese are seemingly indifferent to the sanctuary, and there is the distant sound of traffic in the background.
