A tiny Inari shrine that I randomly ran in on my way back from a coin laundry near the dormitory I stayed in during my first few weeks in Japan. You might already have noticed that there's a lot of small and tiny shrines around, and that's just plasmic with me. Since that means the effort to build a shrine is low, that means that they can be found all over the place. And since this part of Tokyo is only medium-densely populated, this shrine is not sandwiched between skyscrapers, but rather between normal-sized residential buildings. Also, the name of this shrine is a bit complex, and there isn't an explanatory plaque, so both the reading and translation are my best guess attempt.
