#Tokyo Attractions Imado Shrine is a unique and quiet sacred place in this mountain forest. This historic shrine not only bears witness to the hundreds of years of development of Japan's Shinto culture, but its quiet and Zen environment also makes people feel like they are in a paradise. Passing through the towering Torii gate is like crossing a sacred river of time and space. What comes into view is a well-arranged Japanese Zen garden.
