I’m big in Japan: Kitano Tenman-gū (2005 May 15)

The second stop on our tour was meant to be the Imperial Palace; however, the Palace was closed to normal tour groups because of the festival. Instead, we were taken to Kitano Tenman-gū, a Shinto shrine popular with students during exams; they also host a flea market once a month. We did not have time to see the "Treasure House", but it was interesting to see a temple we probably never would have known to go to otherwise. Off to the next spot on the tour…
