I forgot to mention that while walking to lunch on Harajuku day (see post for Monday, Sept. 8, "Day Four - Yoyogi Park and Harajuku"), there was a parade down the street that we happened to be able to see. The procession was lead by (I believe) Shinto priests, who were followed by three miniature shrines carried by groups of people dressed in festival attire. They were yelling and smiling and looking for encouragement from the crowd, which I'm sure they needed carrying those undoubtedly heavy shrines on such a hot and humid day.
That's all... I just wanted to make sure I didn't forget to write about it. :< Oyasumi~
