Found on the street of Yufuin. A shrine of Japan's ubiquitous ambassador of cute - the moonfaced feline otherwise known as Hello Kitty. Ring the bell, bow, clap your hand and bow again, anyone?
Where is the location of this shrine? Right in front of a Hello Kitty store, where else? And oh! To show complete devotion to Hello Kitty, go on in and buy lots and lots of its merchandise.
Anyways, I should really make an effort to put up posts on the places we went to in 2011 instead of just random photos when my mood suits me. I really should, but I'm lazy. xD
I choose atheism in this particular case.
ReplyDeleteI like random, but ... are you absolutely totally completely sure you don't have any more autumn photos? :D
Hey! Now who's the impatient one? ^^
DeletePatience my dear, patience.
I've got 2012, 2013 and part of 2014 to rehash all about the 2011 autumn trip here. xD
That's kind of creepy. I can't figure out why though :D
ReplyDeletePerchance it's got to do with worshiping an icon of commercialism? xD
DeleteA shrine dedicated to Hello Kity! Only in Japan :)
ReplyDeleteJapan Australia
Well, I don't think it's a real shrine. xD
DeleteA bit of Hello Kitty never hurt anyone.
ReplyDeleteThat's true. A whole lot of cute won't hurt anyone. ;p
DeleteHello Kitty wishes you good luck in finding all your Hello Kitty favorites in its store. Did you buy anything?
ReplyDeleteI managed to refrain myself get sucked into its cuteness! LOL
DeleteHa ha... Hello Kitty is for female worshippers.
ReplyDeleteGot Dear Daniel for your hubby and son?
Interestingly, I don't think I have ever seen any other Hello Kitty and Friends characters sold with the Hello Kitty merchandise.
DeleteHubby and Son bought Chopper instead. You know "One Piece"? :)
Golden Kitty is unique and must be fortunate for you.
ReplyDeleteReally? Ahhhh I should've rung the bell then. ^^
DeleteWhat?! They make a shrine of Hello Kitty?!! Amazing! : D
ReplyDeleteJapan - what you can find there shouldn't surprise you. ;p
