On the way to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, I explained to the visitors about torii gate, Dankazura, the shrine, and so on. After a visit to Main Shrine, they watched a wedding ceremony and Shinto dances performed by miko or female attendant on the stage. They took lots of pictures with a great interest. At Kotokuin Temple, they were very impressed to know that the Great Buddha has been sitting in the open air for around 500 years. Finally we returned to Hase Station, where we took the Enoden Line to Koshigoe Station. And then we headed for Enoshima Island, walking through the beach and Enoshima Ohashi Bridge. They looked very satisfied, saying they were impressed with the beautiful scenery of Japan.
