Kaj and Andrea went to Yasaka Jinja in the community with Mrs TORIGOE after arriving in Tsuyama.
Can you see Kaj and Andrea at the foot of a pair of animals? Do you know what the animal is? They are called "Komainu", which guard a Shito shrine.
After they prayed in front of the main shrine, they went to a shrine where the god Inari is worshipped. Inari is originally a god of harvests, later worshipped as the guardian deity of an area.
Another animal! What do you think it is?
Yesterday we had an autumn festival in Yasaka Jinja. You can view the festival at

Let's go home to have a rest, Kaj and Andrea.
