Walking to Tsurugaoka Hachimanngu Shrine, I explained about a torii gate, Dankazura (raised curbstone),
and a chozuya (purification
font), and they prayed at the main shrine.
For the first time, her son wrote his
wish on the ema (votive tablet) in
Thai. The mother bought many omamori (talismans) and her son and
niece drew omikuji (fortune tellers). They seemed to be so happy. Only the son visited Hasedera Temple and then
all of us visited Kotokuin Temple (Great Buddha). They took many pictures as they had an
interest in the Great Buddha.
