Thanks so much for your nice comment. Ah! It would be very fun to visit this place, I absolutely agree with you.
Regarding the sake barrels, as far as I know, they are the ones that people donated to the shrine for sacred ceremony. There are many of them, so the barrels that you saw are for decorating.....
I would love to visit this place one day, too.
Have a wonderful day or night, GFF. ;)
