Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, this is the windmill in front of the Otorii Gate. It features yellow and orange. Speaking of orange (Oranje), it seems to be the nickname for the Netherlands national team.

Kanemochi Shrine 74 Kanemochi, Hinocho, Hino District, Tottori Prefecture Kanemochi Shrine is famous for its prayers for financial luck and good fortune. The enshrined deities are Ama no Tokotachi no Kami, Yatsukamizu Omizunu no Mikoto, and Omizununokami, who are worshipped as gods of land management, good fortune, and nation-building. Long ago, the local noble Kanemochi Kagefujii participated in the military campaign to overthrow the government in 1333, accompanying Emperor Go-Daigo after he escaped from Oki. It is said that he prayed for victory at Kanemochi Shrine and used the shrine's curtain as his banner.
