Meiji Jingu Shrine 明治神宮

The morning starts from Meiji Jingu Shrine in Shibuya.
It is the Shinto shrine that is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shōken.

Barrels of sake(nihonshu) donated to the Meiji Shrine.

A Torii gate again.

Oh?

Luckily, the day was "Kinensai".
Kinensai is the religious service of Shintoism to pray for a good harvest of the year.
It has been done in February every year.

The procession solemnly passes at the front of us.

Another procession is coming.

A wedding procession.

Congratulations!

Do Saisen with your wish!
