As I've said: you were born for this...
You didn't look good that day: some kind of a cold or something?
What was the Masked Guy supposed to be?
Whom do the worshippers pray to?
Thank you!

i was tired from the night before - but overall I'm not a cold weather guy... :P
Masked guy is a shrine kami.
They pray to Okuninushi and for themselves as well.

Dang Jason, fantastic choice of music, son! I have all 3 of those albums. The U2 song particularly brought back some great memories of good times. Thanks for part 3. :)

I know you've probably mentioned this before and I've just forgotten, but who or what is this shrine a shrine to?

go to RJL vlog #3 (The Taisha tour) and there is a link to info about IT in the side bar.
Short answer:
It is dedicated to the god Ōkuninushi (Ōkuninushi-no-mikoto), famous as the Shinto deity of marriage.
