  • October 29, 2010 Kagoshima Arata Hachiman Shrine

     The famous tree

    The main building seen from the front

     and the side.  You can pull the ropes to ring the bells to be sure the god is listening.

    Local Deities

    God of the fields and god of the earth - is this dirt worship?  Just sayin'.

    Portable shrines in storage

     and shrine shingles on which to write your requests.
