- Swensen's ice cream: not sure we stopped here, but recommended?
- On the way back, we boarded a bus, only to find the bus driver had caught the front of the bus under the bus stop shelter. o_O We left the bus and walked to where we needed to go.
- Free sake! Completely unexpected. Right after the purification ceremony, they broke the casks of sake, then began handing out cups of clear liquid to the guests in attendance. Water? One sniff told me otherwise. They continued to provide free sake to the crowds throughout the afternoon, until supplies were exhausted. We stopped back several times. Donations were solicited, so we contributed.
- Food! Too much to eat everything, but we tried a lot of it throughout the day.
- We plan to go back for the Asian Art Museum's Samurai exhibit.
