2.Tomioka hachimangu(Shrine)

I came to Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine.

It was Shichi-go-san(753), so there were a lot of people wearing kimonos.
Shichi-go-san(753) is Japanese tradition ceremony.
Girls aged 3 and 7 and boys aged 3 and 5 dress in kimonos and visit a shrine.

There were other shrines in the precinct.

A small shrine lined in the back of the broken torii.

There is also “Inari shrine”.
