It's a small local shrine.
So local, you'll be using it's grounds as both a morning stroll route and a landmark to get back to the house.
The 'Torii' (entrance gate) is 20 metres away!

Another of the many temples and shrines in the local neighborhood. If you have the time you'd do well to spend a day walking the local sites. Every day I see tourists searching the treasures nearby.
