Unfortunately, it was cloudy and humid day due to Typhoon No.10 Shanahan.  However, we met a few Wedding ceremonies at main shrine building before it started raining.  We were so lucky!

Although yesterday was still hot and too early to wear kimono outside on wedding ceremony, many of ceremonies were conducted. The reason is that yesterday was a “大安-Taian” and a Sunday. It is said that “大安-Taian” is a good day to do everything, especially wedding ceremony. You can find “大安-Taian” in Japanese calendar easily. If you visit Japanese Shinto shrine, you should refer to it. You might see a wedding ceremony at shrine.
