Balancing nature and concrete

During my lunchbreak amid the skyscrapes I decided to walk over
to the nearby shrine for some relaxation. It's called Hie-Jinja, and
it's a nice hidden away bit of nature and old Japan right in the middle
of the city.  Generally Tokyo is like that. There are many shrines and
huge parks in nearly every area of the city.  So I'm sharing my exit
from the shrine on video.

My cellphone only wanted to grab 40 seconds at a time, so it's 
divided into two videos - the first  coming  from the shrine
into the exit tunnel (about 100 small Japanese gates over an equal
number of steps down to street level), and the second making it
to the bottom.
