They got to Dazaihu Tenmangu Shrine. But, because of a little bit early arrival, some shops facing the approach to the shrine have not been opened yet. There are many visitors from Korea and China due to the near distance to Kyushu.I saw that Some Korean visitors at the approach threw words to Korean team.

This shrine is enshrined for God of Learning and statue of cow is deified at the precincts as a messenger of the God. Touching the head of cow first, then touch to the own head, equally touching the leg of cow first, then touch to the own leg, which gets one’s wish respectively. I don’t have any doubt for wishing about doing so…. They thronged around the messenger of God.It is said that cow can carry heavy load by the strong legs and also that cow is tough watching it is carrying on very hard job reticently. It could be fitting for the Forward Players, isn’t it? I wish I could advise them the story but was unable due to language problem. Sorry!

They threw coin into the pond and many team members took photos when the coin was sinking to the bottom. Many carp are there in the pond. It is famous of throwing coin into the Trevi Fountain in Italy but how come throwing coin into pond where tortoise and carp are living. It could be strange in overseas.

Playing homage at a main building of shrine. I have noticed that team members are imitating other visitor’s manner and that other members pay homage at the shrine after being given the manner by escorted interpreter. Look at this team member’s foot.Perhaps they were briefed on this line that throwing coin to the offering box should be from this line, not beyond the line as if a rule exists. They were once again throwing the coin beck again from on the line after collecting it form outside the box previously failed. It is, of course, Ok to move near to the box rather than form the But God may accept their sincere manner as it was.

They are big tough bodies and many Mohican walking elatedly. It may be fear if these groups are walking from the other side of the road.Many home teams member carry the own bag of enamel made. Many of oversea team member carry rucksack. Mohican with rucksack in this solemn atmosphere is rather cute.

There is no parking spot for the bus during their shopping. The bus immediately moves as soon as they got off. They came here firstly. They are given the map for shopping and then came back to the agreed time and place.Nijiro with having map was in trouble where he got off the bus team members moved away quickly wherever they want to go. Nijiro is the only man who is no sense of direction, I wonder? But, great!
