Nearby, we came across Zojo-ji Temple, which was undergoing preparations for the New Year Celebrations 2 days ahead.. Zojo-ji Temple was re-constructed in 1598, making it one of the oldest temples in Tokyo as it survived the WWII bombings.
The mini statues with the hats are of the Buddhist Deity Jizou, the guardian of stillborn and aborted babies. The statues wear red hats and have red toys to represent the expelling of illness/death.
Afterwards, I finally made a pilgrimage to the Pokemon Centre near Tokyo Bay:
Happy times!
