Shrine in Nagareyama

     Last month I was jogging through a new (I thought) part of town when I found a shinto shrine.  I like to go through new shrines whenever I see them so I took a detour and ran around the site.  As soon as I was fifty feet in I recognized where I was.  This was the shrine where Ryoko and I got married a decade ago.  It is a really large, and beautiful, plot of land for a shrine in Japan, so I was able to jog around and remember when I was there last.  During New Years Eve, Ryoko, Yuta, and I went to the same shrine to pray at midnight according to Japanese tradition, and if possible, it was even more stunning after dark.
     Today I jogged back to the shrine and took pictures that are attached to this post.  I will be starting at the entrance gate and going in to the building where we were married.  I hope you enjoy the views.
