The shrine furthest to the left is 豊川稲荷神社 (とよかわいなりじんじゃ/ toyokawa inari
jinja)
I guess its actually a 別院 as the main shrine is in Aichi.

The temple furthest to the right is 龍泉院 (りゅうせんいん / ryuusenin). The
real one is in Chiba so this is another sub-temple.
Website is http://www.ryusenin.org/

The shrine in the middle has an unusual name (though perhaps only in
terms of my own experience). 祖道神社 is probably pronounced Sodou Jinja -
but next time you go for a walk it would be best to ask some (elderly)
locals. Asking them might make the recovery from your hangover take a
little longer, but would also give you the correct reading for that
particular shrine.
