Taira no Masakado (平将門), the 'first samurai' featured in the previous video, is a lot more famous than I originally realized. He is one of the three 'deities' enshrined in Kanda Myōjin shrine (神田明神) in Tokyo.

One of the amazing things about this shrine is that it is a large, spacious shrine located right in the middle of crowded, urban, downtown Tokyo. It is a short walk from Akihabara Station and Ochanomizu Station.

Watch the following video from 13:35

Here is another video, with a little more footage of the actual shrine.
