Some pictures of Hachiman Jinja ( Shrine ) that I took on a quiet and peaceful morning as I was making my way to Sayamashi station. The shrine is a stone’s throw away from Takeshi/Kojima’s house at Sayama Flat in Irumagawa, Saitama.







(above and below) An assortment of Omikuji (fortune strips) can be found at the oratory, and is often the one thing that captivates me the most every time I visit a shrine.
