    Great Shrine for Hanami and Sagemon

    After arriving in Yanagawa for Sagemon Festival, we walked towards the canals or moats on the west side of the station. We came to the first canal which had a red bridge and a huge gate to a shrine. We could see rows of cherry blossom trees, so we went that way to check it out. There are actually a few shrines in that neighborhood, after walking down the road for a while (and enjoying cherry blossoms, if you go in the right season). On the way to the shrine, we stopped by a house (I'm pretty sure it's just someone's house) which invited guests to enter and see the hina matsuri and sagemon decorations. It's one of many locations in town that are over the top decorated with red, white, and pink decorations hanging from the ceiling and dolls. Then we continued and there were a couple of yatai selling snacks before we came to a pond. There were several people already enjoying hanami in the early afternoon and more arrived the later it got. We had a nice look around and especially liked the season and temperature. The area around the pond was much more crowded than the actual shrine because of hanami. I saw a tiny version of the Suitengu we had gone to in Kurume recently also. The huge flags decorating the shrine were beautiful.
