The jizo place filmed in this video, Tsukuda Tendai Jizo-son, has been treasured by local residents of Tsukishima for years.

How did I learn that? Just give it a try. The weird but great atmosphere out there is totally hard to ignore when you actually see it in person.

こちらの動画は月島・佃にある佃天台地蔵尊から。私はここの雰囲気が本当に大好きなんです。

The aisle leading to its main part has just shoulder width (and it's also entrance to neighbors' house!), and an old tree in the premise is carefully protected with respect.

What I felt there was simply people's love, respect & gratitude rather than religiousness.

本殿？に続く肩幅ほどしかない通路に、敷地内でしっかりと守られている太い木。まさに地元の方々の愛と敬意と感謝が溢れ出ている空間だと思います。
