At the entrance of the courtyard in front of the prayer's hall, there was a big wooden gate. And a man was sitting in front of it. He seemed to read a guide book there. He might be just learning the history of this shrine.

At the time of visiting, there were few worshipers in the precinct. And it was wrapped with the silence. So I thought it could be a nice place to read a book like him. Yet the deity might get angry if I relaxed too much in the precinct.
