The Billiken Shrine in the Shinsekai neighborhood stands out for its intentionally flashy appearance, often resembling a local restaurant from the street. It was built in two thousand twelve to commemorate one hundred years since the first Billiken statue arrived in the area. The shrine centers on a statue of the Billiken, a smiling, pointy-headed figure known as the God of Things as They Ought to Be.
