After leaving Himeji, I took the train to Hikone and spent the night. I stayed at a hotel that let you pick your own pillow and that used a punch in number system instead of room keys.
After the buffet breakfast and checking out of the hotel, I walked toward my destination, Hikone Castle.
I think this shop makes grave markers.
Hikone's Gokoku Shrine was preparing for their festival. I attended the Gokoku Shrine Matsuri in Shizoka two years ago.

A PIN number system for unlocking doors is so much better than keys that you can loose or forget to return - until you forget the number!
You look at these temples and graves and think how Japan is so beautiful, serene and elegant...and then suddenly, there is a cute samurai helmet cat grave marker!
