Visited Kashima Shrine (Kashima City, Ibaraki Prefecture).

I often hear the name, but I hadn't known about this place before, so I decided to visit. The main hall was under construction, but the grounds were very large, and I walked around quite a bit.

There was a temporary hall right next to the main hall, and I suppose that the deity has been temporarily moved to this hall because the main hall is under renovation. However, for some reason, almost no one was visiting the temporary hall, and everyone was visiting the main hall, which is under construction and presumably doesn't have the deity. I found this strange. I should have asked the shrine maiden about this, but I forgot. Perhaps, during these times, the deity is temporarily moved.

At the temporary hall, I made a wish as usual. But the moment I made the wish, I felt like I heard "Hmm," and "Do your best." Immediately after that, my consciousness became clearer, and the things around me seemed more vivid, and I felt the presence of the deity. Perhaps, the deity is in the temporary hall. Also, I was allowed to enter the area with the sacred ropes, which is a great service. It's a shame that not many people are taking advantage of this place. However, if too many people gather, the deity might be bothered, so perhaps this is the right amount of people.
