Umemi - part 2: A Shrine

One day I was biking around the Ozone area and came upon this shrine which was filled with ume trees.  So naturally, I decided to visit.

The entrance torii gate (a nice recognizable characteristic of a Shinto shrine):

I parked my bike in a small car parking area - it was empty.

The white ume blossoms looks very nice:

There were lots of bad fortune papers tied around the tree.  If you get a bad fortune, you tie the fortune paper to leave it at the shrine and not take the bad luck back home.

Some smaller ume trees near the main building:

There was a set of cows along the path.

Plus, a lovely pink flower ume tree:

The other side of the main shrine building - you can see prayer boards hanging:

Some ume trees with finer flowers:

There was a place where they sold stuff and one of the things were little figurines that people placed near this cow:

So I bought a little cat.  (beer can only to show scale - did not come with the cat)

Thank you shrine - your trees were lovely!
