Hanazono Shrine
Red torii and sudden calm one street from Kabukicho.
Right beside the neon, a shrine of commerce and the arts with vermilion torii and a weekend antique market. Its festivals spill into the streets in November; on an ordinary night it is the quiet breath between Kabukicho and Golden Gai.
