Itomi Inari Shrine in Sakurashinmachi, Setagaya. I visited for the first time. It's an interesting shrine, tucked away modestly within a rather upscale-looking residential area. The grounds are small, yet they exuded a strangely captivating atmosphere. Perhaps the crescent moon (slightly thicker than a typical crescent) hanging above the shrine building heightened that feeling. While its exact founding date is unknown, it seems to have existed as a small shrine since at least the Edo period.
