Ogunijinja (a shrine)

On Sunday, I went with my girlfriend, Ayako, to a shrine about an hour north-east of my city. There were still some red leaves on the trees and so a fair number of people were there to view the trees as well as a few women dressed in kimonos to have their photos taken in the scenic setting.
There were also people who drove their new cars there to have them blessed by a Shinto priest. Actually, there were a lot of people bringing their cars. It was like an assembly line for the priest.
