Another picture taken in Enoshima, definitely the "island of love" (how cheesy). After 5 years in Japan I still find interesting or funny things in every shrine that distinguishes it from the hundreds of neighboring shrines. In this one, if you are a couple in love you can buy a padlock, write your names on it with a variation of Always Together, and lock it to a fence nearby. The fence is now so packed with padlocks that people have started locking them onto other fences all over the (very small) island.
