Shrines
Stone statues and carvings are erected in the premises of the shrine as a memorial to the soldiers of specific battalions and batteries.
The bigger shrines are of the Buddhist and the traditional buildings which houses them are more refined and elaborate than in Osaka.
Where's Weipeng? Try to spot him in the photo above.
Wedding ceremony in a Shrine
Japanese in traditional dresses hold their wedding ceremonies in the shrine, the ceremony is formal and solemn. There is a aura of dignity and happiness in the ceremony. The aura is not broken even when lots of tourists,both local and foreigners, are taking photos of the event.
People
As it was a Sunday, they was a huge crowded and it was a definite good choice to visit on this day. You will see kimono-clad ladies and even geishas if you are lucky. The young Japanese ladies had fun dressing up and shopping for traditional cakes and pastries.

The entry is incomplete due to the lack of internet time. Internet is very expensive in Japan and it is not readily available.
I'm guessing it is due to the fact that Japanese are holding highly fanciful CDMA phones which allows them to surf the internet and watch TV, Wi-Fi is not widely available.
