In this article we'll go over a sightseeing spot we recommend those visiting Toyama prefecture check out! Without further ado, let's take a look at "Zuiryuji Temple." Zuiryuji Temple is a popular sightseeing destination in the city of Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture (previously known as the Kaga Domain), that has been designated a national treasure. The buildings, hallways and gardens are so beautifully crafted calling them works of art wouldn't be inaccurate. We hope you enjoy watching this video and experiencing what it feels like to walk the grounds of Zuiryuji Temple. The History of Zuiryuji Temple Photo：Sanmon gate at Zuiryuji Temple, Toyama Prefecture Zuiryuji Temple was built during the Kamakura period (1185 AD - 1333 AD) by the second generation Kaga domain feudal lord Toshinaga Maeda (前田利長). The temple was later named "Zuiryuin" (瑞龍院) by the third generation Kaga domain feudal lord Toshitsune Maeda (前田利常). The three main buildings of the temple: Sanmon Gate (山門), Butsuden (仏殿) and Hodo (法堂)), are built in a straight line (each one behind the other) in a beautiful symmetrical design. The current Sanmon Gate, seen at 0:28 in the video, was once destroyed by fire and rebuilt in the Edo period (1603 AD - 1868 AD). Major repairs were made during the Showa (昭和) and Heisei periods (平成) and Zuiryuji temple was officially registered as a national treasure in 1997. The burial ground of Toshinaga Maeda is also located within the temple grounds. Zuiryuji Temple - An Important Cultural Property of Japan Photo：The main gate of Zuiryuji Temple, Toyama Prefecture Zuiryuji Temple is home to many historical objects of great value, such as the statue of the Gautama Buddha (釈迦如来) in the temple's main hall. Seven of the temple's buildings have been designated Important Cultural Assets, including Somon Gate (総門), Zendo Hall (禅堂), Osado Hall (大茶堂), Takaroka (高廊下), the northern cloister (北回廊), the southeastern cloister (南東回廊) and the southwestern cloister (南西回廊). The wooden statue of Vidyaraja (the wisdom king in Buddhism) is registered as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. During the Edo period, the statue was placed in the bathroom and was said to have the power to bring cleanliness to dirty areas. From 1:12 in the video, you can see the beautiful garden leading towards the main temple building, truly one of the highlights of the video. Summary of Zuiryuji Temple Photo：The main hall at Zuiryu-ji Temple, Toyama Prefecture Zuiryuji Temple is one of the top sightseeing spots in the area and a great place to learn more about the history of the Kaga domain. There is a large car park situated nearby with 100 parking spaces making it easily accessible for those traveling by car. At Zuiryuji Temple, you can also purchase copies of sutras as well as take part in a Zazen (zen meditation) experience. There are many hotels and Japanese ryokan situated near the closest station (JR Takaoka station (JR高岡駅)), so consider spending the night and taking your time traveling around the Hokuriku (北陸) region of Japan. We hope that the next time you're in Japan's Hokuriku region, you'll consider visiting Zuiryuji Temple. The trip is sure to bring peace to both your mind and soul! 【Tripadvisor】Zuiryuji Temple https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g311426-d1308244-Reviews-Zuiryuji_Temple-Takaoka_Toyama_Prefecture_Hokuriku_Chubu.html 【Official Website】National Treasure – Zuiryuji Temple – Sightseeing Spot – Tourist Information in Toyama https://foreign.info-toyama.com/en/

The video shows the contrast between the pink of the cherry blossoms and the yellow of the rape blossoms in 8K video. With the addition of the clear blue skies, you can enjoy a beautiful tri-color cherry blossom viewing experience! Gongendo Park, located in Satte, Saitama Prefecture (埼玉県幸手市, Saitama-ken Satte-shi) in Japan's Kanto region, is one of the most popular and Instagram-worthy cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan's Kanto region. According to documents from the late Edo Period (~1750-1860 A.D.), the name of Gongendo Park comes from the fact that there were three "Gongen" in the village. Located within Gongendo Park in Uchigouma, Satte, Saitama Prefecture, a field of rape blossoms spreads out beneath a 1km long embankment of blooming cherry blossoms. The Satte Cherry Blossom Festival at Gongendo Park, Satte, Saitama Prefecture - One of the Best Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots in Japan’s Kanto Region!

You can view the cherry blossoms in full bloom from the beginning of the video. During the Satte Cherry Blossom Festival, there are around 100 booths, as well as marathon races, haiku contests, and many other fun events. The rows of cherry blossoms and Sotono Bridge over the Nakagawa River are lit up beautifully at night. As a famous place for all-day cherry blossom viewing, it attracts local, domestic, and even foreign tourists. The scenery of the cherry blossom tunnel made up of approximately 1,000 Someiyoshino cherry trees, coupled with the field of rape blossoms is highly regarded, and has been selected as one of the "Top 100 Hometown Prides of Saitama for the 21st Century." The prefectural park where Gongendo Park is located has a large parking lot, so if you're planning on coming by car you can rest assured there will more than likely be parking available. During the Satte Cherry Blossom Festival, there is a fee for parking, so coming via public transportation is also fine. If you don't like crowds and want to enjoy the cherry blossoms at your own pace, we recommend checking out the Nakagawa Miyuki Observation Live Cameras. Information on bloom conditions is also available on the Gongendo Park official website, so be sure to check it out. There's More Than Cherry Blossoms! Gongendo Park Is a Famous Place in Satte, Saitama Prefecture, with Flowers That Bloom All Year Round!

After the cherry blossom and rape blossom seasons introduced in the video, the hydrangeas are quick to follow! Around 15,000 hydrangeas of 100 different varieties bring life to Gongendo Park, making them the main attraction during the rainy season. On the last day of the Satte Hydrangea Festival, pruned hydrangeas are given away to visitors as gifts. In the fall, millions of red spider lilies begin to bloom. The "Red Spider Lily Festival" is also held here. In 2014, there were around 1 million red spider lilies, but now there are approximately 5 million!

There's also a goat pen somewhere in these three parks, so keep your eyes peeled for it! After relaxing with the playful goats, we recommend taking a break at "Toge-no-Chaya," a teahouse located in the center of the Gongendo Park. Their homemade bread is a hit! Gongendo Park Is Full of Attractions, but as You Might Expect, the Cherry Blossoms Are the Main Event! Summary of Gongendo Park Photo：Cherry blossoms at Gongendo Park, Saitama Prefecture Gongendo Park shows a different face in each season, with each having its own unique charm.

This video, titled "Matsumoto Castle - 松本城 - 4K Ultra HD," was released by "TokyoStreetView - Japan The Beautiful." Unlike other castles in Japan, Matsumoto Castle is not built on a hill or mountain plateau, but on flat ground. Originally built as Fukashi Castle in the Warring States period (1467-1568) by the Shinano Protectorate of Ogasawara City, Matsumoto Castle once fell during the invasion of Takeda City in Kai Province. However, it was later rebuilt and is now one of the most beloved castles in Japan. The castle tower was built by Naomasa Matsudaira, the feudal lord at that time, and it is the only existing national treasure with a moon viewing tower in Japan. Many events are held in the nearby Matsumoto Castle Park throughout the year, so we recommend visiting during these events.

Video introduction of "Tsurugi Shrine" in Niu-gun, Fukui Prefecture This video, titled "[Echizen] Tsurugi Shrine: the birthplace of the Oda family - Tsurugi Shrine, Fukui, JAPAN-" (【越前国二宮】劔神社／織田家発祥の地 -TsurugiI Jinja Shrine in Fukui, JAPAN–), was released by "channel WASABI." Tsurugi Shrine, also known as "Oda Myojin," is located in Echizen, Nyu District, Fukui Prefecture. The area is known as the birthplace of the Oda family, including the famous warlord Oda Nobunaga, and the shrine is highly revered as an "Ujigami.” The History of Tsurugi Shrine Source :YouTube screenshot The origin of Tsurugi Shrine, with a history dating back 1,800 years, goes back to when the god Susanoo was enshrined on the peak of Kuragatake and called "Tsurugidaijin" (劔大神, The Great God of Tsurugi). During the Nara Period (710-794 A.D.), when the shrine was known as a sacred site, Tsurugi Temple (劔神宮寺) was already built. It is also said that the shrine, which enshrines Susanoo-no-Mikoto (素盞嗚大神) and Kehi (氣比大神), was handed over to Prince Oshikuma, the son of Emperor Chuai, during the reign of Empress Jingu. After the Warring States Period (1467-1615 AD~), Tsurugi Shrine was protected and worshipped by the Shiba, Asakura, and Oda clans. The sacred crest of Tsurugi Shrine, which is closely connected to Oda Nobunaga, is the same as the family crest of the Oda family: the Oda Mokko (Flowering quince). Highlights of Tsurugi Shrine Source :YouTube screenshot The temple bell, a national treasure, is the third oldest bell in Japan and is said to have been made in the Nara Period. It is also home to many other temple treasures, including the important cultural property "The Eight Stages of Nirvana on Silk." In the video, you can see the large torii gate, Shinyoko (旧神前院摩堂, a storehouse for portable shrines), the Chozusha (a ritual water station for purifying oneself), and the Hall of Worship (拝殿, haiden) starting at 0:58, as well as the Omokaru Stone (おもかる石, a sacred wishing stone.

If it is heavier, it will be harder for your wish to come true.) at Komatsutate Isaoshi Shrine (小松建勲神社) and Yakushi Shrine (薬師神社) starting at 3:05 in the video. On the premises of Tsurugi Shrine, we recommend paying attention to the approach to the shrine, as well as checking the monument to the birthplace of the Oda clan, and more. Another attraction of Tsurugi Shrine is that you can enjoy the seasonal scenery, such as the Asian fawnlily that grow in clusters on the shrine grounds. During Hatsumode (the first shrine visit of the New Year) at Tsurugi Shrine, the shrine is also crowded with visitors.
