Former site of Japanese Shinto shrine
Walk to the Former site of Japanese Shinto shrine. Arrive thirty minutes before sunset to explore the grounds and the activity centre. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting long shadows across the historic grounds.

Head to Bassment Bar for a drink after dark. It is spacious with live music almost every night and a lively atmosphere where locals and expats gather.
Local tip
The shrine site is an activity centre for retired cadres, so entry to the building may be restricted. Enjoy the exterior and grounds. Les 5 Sens is open until 22:00, so arrive early to secure a table.
