At the top of the shrine..and a classically Japanese photo!

At the top of the shrine, there were several places for people to pray, but also two love stones. If you touch one, and walk to the other while your eyes are shut, you will find lifelong love! Or so the story goes! I also liked that all the big bells were tied with beautiful red cloth bows...and I was very lucky to get this photo of these two, kimono clad ladies praying at the shrine! Such a classic Japanese shot! I'm never sure if I can take photos of women in Kimonos, they are just so pretty, but it's like...taking a photo of a randomer on the street! Luckily, there was a gap in people walking, so I could get a quick shot!
