 Some more pictures of the individual pray boards.

 Here is what the whole rack of them looks like.

 Nearby I found this. The white objects are slips of paper that continue an individual's fortune. After you read it, you tie it this sort of display, or in many places a tree or a bamboo stalk. My understanding is that, if you do this, good fortunes will come true and bad ones will be negated.

 Looking back down at that first landing, this building was being worked on. Again there was no indication as to what it is used for.

The main part of the shrine is behind these closed doors. The entire building is surrounded by a wire fence and the only way in is through the room that I showed yesterday.

This is a fence that runs along the top of the wall between the first and second levels of the grounds. The writing lists the name of the donor, the date, and the amount of yen donated. This is now a common practice in both shrines and temples. Apparently people donate more if they get recognition for it. I have seen this sort of fence in many places. Also small statues with information on the base.
