The straw circle is called a chinowa (茅の輪). You walk through it in three loops (left, right, left) to cleanse any impurities picked up during the first half of the year, and to pray for good health in summer. Shōin Shrine ↑ also added Tanabata wishes, and wind chimes behind the chinowa and in their moss garden.

タイムカプセルに閉じ込められたような不思議な旭川の宿で一泊したら、ディーゼル列車で富良野へ。長閑で小さな富良野の町は居心地がよく、美瑛から富良野にかけては、パッチワークのような大地が連なる「The Hokkaido」な風景が広がるエリア。

I just love that multiple people not only though “the black one is a princess and those are her bodyguards” but also came to the conclusion “they’re also, obviously, samurai.”
