We like to go to festivals on the weekends, so we looked up the festival calendar, but it led us astray. We thought there was going to be a festival here, but it was totally deserted when we showed up. Either we looked at an old calendar without realizing it or the festivals are only held on Sundays (this was a Saturday). Anyway, the shrine was pretty so I took some pictures.
This was in the middle of an older residential area, so I got a lot of white girl double-takes.
I think the dog with a bib is a shiba inu, Gen's new favorite dog (besides Nelly, of course). Inu means dog in Japanese. Shiba inus are very popular here, along with dachshunds, chihuahuas, and poodles. Basically purse dogs. And you should see how people dress these dogs. It's hilarious. I've seen doggie kimonos, turtleneck sweaters, jean skirts...
