The Togo Shrine is dedicated to Admiral Togo Heihachiro (1848-1934) who destroyed the Russian Baltic Fleet in 1905 at the Battle of Tsushima. You can visit Admiral's battelship, called "Mikasa", in Yokosuka. The Shrine, built in 1940, is located in the fashionable area of Omotesando, at the intersection of the Takeshita Street and the Meiji Avenue (station : Harajuku). In 2009, Shinto shrines celebrate the 20th year of actual the Emperor's era. The miror of the above picture represents one of the 3 Imperial Regalia (the miror, the sword and the jewel).
