On the Way to the Chrysanthemum Festival at the Temple in Niigata

We walked to the temple to see the chrysanthemum festival or kiku matsuri. This Japanese cake shop had chrysanthemums in front.

This is a small shrine in front of the cake shop. My friend said there is sometimes money left next to the figurine inside. There are directions to the temple on it.

This is the entrance to the temple. It was decorated with small chrysanthemums.
