Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine was crowded with tourists, people attending a wedding ceremony and families with children in their best clothes as it was not only a national holiday but also Taian (a happy day), and besides, the seven-five-three festival was getting closer. The participants were very interested in gorgeous bridal costume and children in nice kimono for the seven-five-three festival near Taiko-bashi Bridge, Mai-den Stage and Main Shrine.
After visiting Hasedera Temple and the Great Buddha in Kotokuin Temple, most of them took an optional tour to Yuigahama Beach and enjoyed the sunset at the end of the tour.
