This is where I stopped taking photos of the shrine. At the top of the steps I felt that I was too close to the shrine to take photos. It would have been disrespectful to those who prayed there.
As you reach the top of the stairs, there is a place where you drop a coin, usually about 15 yen (cents) Then you move closer to the shrine and pray.
There is a place where you can buy charms and fortunes. I did my 'close the eyes and feel a tug' thing,and twice I picked up marriage charms. I thought it was interesting, because Riu, Taka and I were discussing weddings on our way up the mountain. Riu is getting married and we talked about the differences in the weddings in the states and in Japan.
