When heading out for a walk, we found this really small shrine beside a parking lot of an apartment. I've gone by this place a thousand times, but didn't know this was here until recently.
It even has a Torii, a gate that separates the normal and sacred worlds. I think this is a Myojin style Torii.
Anyways, these small shrines hidden away in small corners are just as interesting as the bigger ones...and I've come to realize, much easier to take a picture of.

I like the idea of these small, intimate shrines. It's always nice to see that people still care about spirituality and not just the things of the world.
For those who are interested there is detailed information about torii here:
