One of the major private rails in Tokyo is Tokyu Railways. This Tokyu Ikegami line goes to the town of Ikegami, where Ikegami Honmonji Temple stands on a hill since centuries ago.
This is a Buddhist temple founded by a priest Nichiren. In front of the temple, people have gathered and lived for many years, and Ikegami is a traditional downtown with a historical taste.
This scene is a Oeshiki ceremony of Nichiren with a lot of people. When railways were first developed in Tokyo or other cities, some of them including this Ikegami line headed to religious and active towns.
