At Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, we met the family dressed up for Shichi-Go-San, who probably celebrated their children’s growth though it was late to visit the shrine. We took photos of them quickly with their permission. The children looked happy, posing for our photos. A wedding ceremony was held at the Maiden on that day too. After visiting Hasedera Temple, we headed for Kotokuin Temple. When we took memorable photographs in front of the Great Buddha, some participants didn't join us, saying they didn’t want to be in a photo with the Great Buddha in the background.
