New Year's visit to the shrine


Most Japanese people occasionally visit shrines and New Year's visit, which the red banner reads, is generally regarded as the most important one. It should be noted that the fancy structure in the background is not of the shrine but a "Love Hotel" which is designed for a certain activity of couples.

初詣

こちらは新年の大阪・桜宮神社。赤の幟が印象的ですが周りを取り囲むラブホも壮観です。まるでヨーロッパにでも迷い込んだようで神様も困惑してるかもしれません。
