Yushima area, Bunkyo-ku (October 13, 1972)
October 13, 1972, Tokyo, Japan - The neighborhood of Tokyo's Yushima is famous for steep hills around Yushima Tenjin Shinto Shrine. Not far away from the academic and medical communities of Ochanomizu, Yushima Tenjin has graced its lofty position since it was built in 458 to enshrine the mythical deity Ameno-tajikaraono-mikoto and the spirit of famed literary scholar Sugawara Michizane since 1355.
