Near the Shinagawa station is a temple and the grave site of the 47 Ronin. Same from the movie. The story is not the same of course. The lord was an idiot and got himself killed. The samurai becoming ronin and avenging their lord is true. The event happen right here. You can walk the path the Ronin took way back in time.
The temple was rebuilt from damage during WWII. The grave site are the original. 500 yen for the little museum and 500 to the maintenance of the graves. They will give you incents for the warriors.
