You mean the shrine between 27:47 and about 30:00, right? That really is interesting... Google Maps says that's Zenpukuji Inari Shrine; the sign on the red torii gate and the fox statues by the main building support the assertion that it's a shrine to Inari. The building does seem to be a bit rundown, but the shimenawa (sacred rope over the door) is in pretty good shape, and the ones on the mini-shrines that flank the base of the stairs have been replaced even more recently, so yes, it's definitely not abandoned. One of the photos linked to that shrine on Google Maps is of a sign thanking people belonging to its religious association for donating to purchase new banners (which would have the shrine's name on them and be placed at or near the entrance) and poles to hold them; the sign is dated January 2021, so the shrine was definitely active at that point. That said, although it obviously hasn't been closed to the general public, none of the things that would signal an active shrine (bell to ring before worshipping, open door, collection box for offerings) are there, and no offerings have been left on the shelf/step that is there, so it's possible that any offering the channel owner made would have been considered littering.

Thank you very much.

The oddly-placed vending machines aren't actually so odd. Did you notice the first three are definitely by parking lots (one is a bike parking lot), and the other two are either near the entrance to lots or at least near apartment buildings? They get put in places where people are likely to think "I could use a drink, but I just got home and I don't want to run to the convenience store, so I'll shell out a little more money and buy it here." When I was on exchange over there in college, there was one on a random residential street just outside my dorm entrance. ...Because dorm entrance. ^_^b
