August 10, 2023, Tokyo, Japan - A woman looks at the souvenirs on a robot in front of the shrine for rugby fans in Marunouchi district, the downtown of Tokyo. The rugby shrine debuted in central Tokyo's Marunouchi business district before the Rugby World Cup in Japan in 2019. The temple has green artificial turf, Shinto torii gate-shaped goalposts, and a rugby ball-shaped bell for pilgrims to ring. Mitsubishi Estate Co.'s site enshrines a god from Kyoto's World Heritage-listed Shimogamo shrine. Blessing the deity improves the player's skills, among other things.
