SHIN GODZILLA SAYS HIS PRAYERS! An Afternoon at Tamagawa Sengen Shrine!

On Sunday, November 1, I visited Tamagawa Sengen Shrine, an area with a close association with Shin Godzilla (2016). The shrine and surrounding area were featured in the film, and you can buy Godzilla-related souvenirs, such as the Shin Godzilla-themed ema (wooden plaques) seen in the photos in this blog post. There's also a couple of Shin Godzilla-style vending machines on the premises.

If you want to become president of the United States in your 40s, this is certainly the place to go to pray for that to happen.

The Maruko Bridge, which is almost literally a stone's throw from the shrine, can also be seen in Shin Godzilla. It's worth checking out if you're a fan of the movie or if you're generally interested in ephemera from the Godzillaverse. 

Now I'll let the photos do the talking. Enjoy!
