It was founded when the capital of Japan was in Kamakura over 1000 years ago.
There is a big red gate called torii, and this is the beginning.
Gatekeepers, fictional animals, sit and guard on both sides.
The road from here to the main hall is called Dankazura.
I saw a couple of weddings on this day as it was a auspicious day.
The wedding procession has begun from the road leading to Turugaoka Hachimangu.
The first two people got a wedding, followed by relatives and friends.
There was also a dedicated photographer who took pictures of the wedding.
There is a main hall ahead of this red big Torii.
The lower building is the Maiden, and the upper one is the main building called Honden.
The wedding will be held at Maiden.
It is a place to clean hands and mouth before the worship.
The another wedding had already begun at the red-painted Miden hall.
The bride and the priest and various tools used in the ceremony
People who play Gagaku
The golden pot possessed by the shrine maiden contains divine sake
A pledge of vows
The golden pot possessed by the shrine maiden contains divine sake
Saisi who performs the ceremony and Maiden
People who play Gagaku
The priest wore something like a wooden shoe
The wedding was over without delay and the bride left.
The groom and the bride were smiling with Seiji who went to the ceremony
Groom and bride
congratulations
The main hall is on the top of the stone steps from Maiden.
It is Maiden and Torii that I looked down from the main hall.
