Oh that's also very possible! I spoke with two staffers at the rest spot at the shrine and they both offered commentary at the same time so there was a bit of aural overlap

Addendum: choco-tacos were where it's at!

I will confirm next time. The staffer said it was pretty normal to see any of the 4 they keep wandering around. As far as I can tell we are technically 氏子 there too, so will definitely be back again.

That's interesting! I only know of Washinomiya shrine because of its connection to Lucky Star and inspiring relatively large anime pilgrimages.

Forgot there was a photo!

One of my MA history Profs was of the same stripe: he worked on Colonial Spain and drilled into us the broad use of "America(s)" for a long time referred to it all of the landmass

Wow, prompting* rather

Ope, right in the original post and I'm just here not reading. Thanks!

What a lineup! Mind if I ask the event too?

Best not be bringing any warm weather up here with you, Sendai was barely 15C today
