Golden Week pt 6 - Udo Shrine.



Via the city homepage:
"Udo Shrine is where the spirit of the father of Emperor Jinmu, the first emperor of Japan, is enshrined. Legends say it was built in the era of the 10th emperor. The sanctuary is a bright vermilion-lacquered building standing in a cave overlooking the sea. It provides spiritual support to those people who wish for a good marriage, a safe baby delivery and for the health for their children."








You can't quite make it out, but the folks on the the left are trying to throw beads into a small pool of water on the rock to the right where you can kinda see the circle rope around it. I messed it up, using the wrong hand to throw. But I went two for five. Which probably means when I get reincarnated as a women, I'll have two women folk kids. Or something.



Great view though.
