The shrine is a typical shinto shrine, buried away in the forests. It is kept very well, and it is generally a quiet place to come.

Kouken parked his care outside the shrine, and then got out to open the door for his sister. Again, holding out his hand to help her out. He knew that when ever she had a major ceremony to preform, she always got nervous before hand, especially since she was never much of a talker. He remembered walking to the shrine when they were younger, and she would always hang onto his hand, trying her best not to be nervous.
He smiled at her. "We are here, are you ready, Soka-chan?"

Soka paused for moment as he opened the door, she had grown quite during the course of the ride and had taken to curling a lock of her hair around her finger, trying to calm herself. She was not as nervous as she usually was, but none-the-less nervous. She took his hand and stepped out of the car, stepping to the side as he he closed and locked the doors. She looked around and as they started to walk toward the shrine, she held onto his arm, biting her lip as they went.

Kouken smiled. "A little Nervous Soka-Chan?" He curled his arm for her to lean into a little bit. "Don't worry, I'll be here the whole time, I promise, just look forward to dinner afterwards, ok?"
He knew that some of the kids from the school might show up, like they usually do for the major ceremonies, and in this small community, the blessing of the farmers was considered to be a big one.

Soka looked at him and then smiled, her nervous feeling fading a little. Alright, just think of the food, she giggled as she loosened her grip on his arm. She always felt relaxed when Kouken was around her, making her feel comfortable in tight situation and just in general. As they came to the shrine, she stopped, looking around as she grew nervous again.

Most of the outside farmer were in front of the shrine, in nice clothes, bowed in prayer. Kouken led the way to the front of the shrine where he let his sister's arm go and backed off to stand behind her, out of the way, while she preformed the blessing.
