tokyo, japan - march 05 2020: Golden torii gate decorated with a shimenawa rope in the basin of the Atago sanctuary in front of the sacred spring water cascade where in 940 Prince Minamoto no Tsunemoto would have performed a Shinto rite of purification by water to appease the gods of Mount Atago and end the Tengyo revolt led by Taira no Masakado against imperial power. It's written on the front panel not to throw coins into the basin.
