I miss beautiful Japan!  This is the closest you can get to the emperor’s castle.  From my understanding, the white building you see is one of many gates you have to pass through to get inside.

In Tokyo there is a shrine dedicated to all of the Emperors of Japan.  At this shrine is a wall full of these prayers, written in many different languages, probably to many different gods.
