Because it was nearing festival time, A large number of lanterns were hanging in front of the gate of the Okunitama Jinjya Shrine. Beyond the gate, the worship hall could be seen.
According to legend, this shrine was built during the reign of the 12th Emperor Keiko. If this is true, then the shrine was built in the 2nd century. The history is far too long to be believed. In the first place, the existence of Emperor Keiko itself is in doubt.
As I was looking at the gate with that in mind, an older man appeared. He was walking under a lantern, pushing a bicycle.
