Last week, I was walking around the Byobugaura Station neighbourhood in Isogo Ward, and came across Morisengen Shrine. To get there, I had to go under an expressway bypass, then go up a steep and long stairway. The shrine was quite nice, but on my way down, I had this view of the neighbourhood, looking toward Shin-Sugita. You can see the torii near the bottom, and many buildings beyond. This shrine is built at the top of a large plateau/bluffs area in western Yokohama that is just behind Isogo Station. There used to be a very large hotel, Yokohama Prince Hotel, on this hill, but it was torn down a couple years ago.
