I visited one of my friends in Yanagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture the other day. Yanagawa City is popular with Japanese tourists because of its riverside canals in the city center. People enjoy riding a riverboat which takes them to see around the picturesque old city district. At this time of year, when Hinamatsuri or Girl's Festival is held on March 3rd, a great number of finely crafted dolls and hanging decorations are placed on display in a number of private homes, shops, and hotels throughout the city. When I was walking around to photograph many elaborated decorations and displays in several places, I saw a newly-married couple, their parents, and relatives in a boat. They were going from the Shinto shrine where they held the wedding ceremony to the wedding reception hall. I was just lucky that I was able to take some snap shots of them.
