Hotel Okura Kobe's garden. On a day when snow piled up in Kobe, the Japan garden was covered in snow. Hotel Okura Kobe has excellent buildings, rooms, meals, and the service of the staff. I love this hotel, I recommend it.

Ogijima visited at the Setouchi Triennale. Take a walk while looking at the coast and forgetting the time.

A waterfall in the primeval forest of Wakayama, which is also the highest waterfall in Japan, is a wonderful tourist destination. It was the most anticipated sight of my trip and when I reached it, it didn't disappoint me. The view of Nachi falls, Seigantoji Temple, and the view of spring forest was stunning.

[English/Japanese] I visited Soto Terrace, a spot that opened last November to promote Hachioji's traditional culture. It is a 7-minute walk from Hachioji Station. You can reach it by passing through a small street in Hanamachi. I visited at night so it was very quiet, but I heard it is very lively on weekends and holidays with events. There is a nice store and I bought some cute sweets. I will report on the sweets I bought next time. Hachioji is an old town, so there are many events and places that convey traditional culture. I think it's a great city for foreign students to learn about Japanese culture! I went to Kuwato Terrace, a spot that opened in November last year to transmit the traditional culture of Hachioji. 7 minutes walk from Hachioji Station. You can reach it by passing through a small road in Hanamachi. I visited at night, so the atmosphere was very quiet, but on holidays, it was very lively with events. There was a nice shop and I bought cute sweets. I will report the sweets I bought next time. Hachioji is an old city, so there are many events and places that convey traditional culture. I think it's a great city for international students to learn about Japan culture!

The second stage of the Kobe, Rediscovery series is the story of a cat who lives in a shrine. A crest of chrysanthemum flowers in running water ... This crest, famous as the family crest of the Kusunoki clan, resembles the rising sun from the horizon. This is the Minatogawa Shrine where Kusunoki Masanari is celebrated. At the shrine, three cats were always looking down at the people who came and went from the roof tiles. When I passed through here for the first time in several years, I was still relaxed... Feeling smaller than before? Maybe there has been a generational change. At this time, I photographed one of the two dogs. Relaxing in this way, I was still looking down at the people who came and went. Please visit when you take a walk in Kobe. There are a lot of people on the street, so please be careful not to look too high and bump into it.

This photo was taken in Pontocho, Kyoto. This is a photo I took because I wanted to be a person who would suit this town someday.

This is a photo of the Kamo River taken in Shijo, Kyoto. It is a place of memories that I have visited many times with my grandfather. I would be happy if I could convey the charm of Kyoto even a little.

Shonan coast. 15 minutes bike ride from home, my view. Mt. Fuji at sunset and waves crashing on the shore. Lovers walking on the beach holding hands with families playing with children, walking with dogs. Whether you're happy or sad, this scenery gives you calm. This scenery has a vividness of colors, grandeur of nature, and beauty of Japan that cannot be conveyed even in photographs, but I wanted to convey the beauty of the Shonan coast to the world by capturing it in as small a lens as possible.

It is Udo Shrine, the regent shrine of Omi Shrine in Hyuga City, Miyazaki Prefecture. The rock cave with a height of 20 m, a width of 8 m, and a depth of 40 m is said to have been dug by human hands thousands of years ago, and this rock cave is said to be a dragon palace and the body of a dragon, and the rock cave itself is considered to be the spiritual area. Near the innermost shrine, if you look at the exit of the rock cave from a certain angle, you can see a white dragon ascending to the heavens. I first visited there about five years ago. If you walk for about 10 minutes while looking at the sea from Omi Shrine, which is famous for its rustling stones, you will reach a steep descending staircase. If you descend cautiously, you will see a rock cave with a wide open mouth and a torii gate dyed in vermilion deep in the rock face where the waves crash. I felt a strange power in its majestic appearance, and I hesitated for a moment to enter the cave.

Awaji Island Oiso, pre-dawn view. Osaka Bay had a very beautiful color.

Tsuboya Yachimun Street in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture! I took a picture of it when I entered the side street from the main Yachimun Street. The Shisa on the tiled roof in front of me is also a yachimu. "Yachimun" is pottery in the Okinawan dialect. There are stylish plates and cups, and if you walk down the street, you will find yachimun embedded in the walls and flower beds of houses. There are also many fashionable shops!

When you walk around Kobe, you will find many things. I would like to deliver such something that caught my eye as the "Kobe, Rediscovered" series. The first stage is the work of Kobe-born sculptor Hirokazu Ichii. "Rainbow Floating Statue" Sunlight from far away space encountered water droplets on the earth after rain and created rainbow colors. I hope that many such miraculous encounters will be born in Kobe, and that many wonderful rainbows will be cast. It is written. This is a statue that I stopped when I was walking along the center street of Sannomiya. I hope that when you come to Kobe, you will find it. There are a lot of people on the street, so please be careful not to face down too much and bump into it.

It will be a Setsha located in Shiroishi Ward, Sapporo City, at a power spot called Kamyori Valley of Shiroishi Shrine. Shiroishi Shrine is the second most popular shrine after Hokkaido Jingu Shrine with many first-time visitors. I love it and visit it a few times a year. Summer is also beautiful, but the vermilion shrine is beautiful in the pure white scenery of winter, and although it is cold, I go there after the heavy snowfall. There are many benefits, but more than that, I feel like I go there because I want to experience beauty. The explanation on the official website of this Shiroishi Fushimi Inarisha is named Shiroishi Fushimi Inarisha with the shrine on September 9, 1977 (Showa 52). The main deity is Inari Okami. I also visited Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto, and although it is certainly small in scale, I still feel the power. There are many Setsha shrines in Kamyoriya, but they all have power, so I would like you to visit carefully.

The approach to Oku-Nikko Onsenji Temple in Tochigi Prefecture Snow covered in lanterns lined up, It's like wearing a matching hat. A wooden path leads from the middle of the approach to the Yumoto source. The view from the wooden path is also superb.

Among the shrines in Sapporo City, it is especially known as a "power spot for matchmaking". The god enshrined is "Tennokogu Yamamei", which is also the great-grandson god of Emperor Amaterasu. The reason why it is called Yahiko Shrine is It is located in [Yahiko Village] in Nishikanbara District, Niigata Prefecture, and it is said that this is because Mt. Yahiko is enshrined as a sacred mountain. The reading of the shrine is "Noyahiko", but the place name is read as "Yahiko", No, no, Yahiko, it seems that it is called by both names. The god of learning, Sugawara no Michishinko, is also enshrined here, and is called the Heavenly God of Sapporo. It's exam season, so why don't you go visit us?

The Milky Way rising from the earth Shot in Biei, Hokkaido The shooting date was August 7th, exactly Tanabata. There were no clouds, and Orihime and Hikoboshi were able to meet safely. * Tanabata in Hokkaido will be on August 7, one month later because it adopts the lunar calendar.

It is located on top of a small Tenjin Mountain at an altitude of 89 meters. Therefore, it is quite a slope to climb. By the way, there is a grave right next to it, and it will be the approach to a slightly unusual shrine. Some people may have headaches. But it's a shrine worth going all the way to. First of all, the main deity is Tenno-gochu no okami (Amenominakanushi no Okami) It is the first central shrine of the universe that appears in the Kojiki. In Sapporo, this god is the main deity here and Suitengu. Also, the sacred tree that you can see when you climb up the slope. The power is amazing. It's really amazing. This is a Shibakuri tree, which is more than 300 years old. I feel that the spirit dwells. The neighboring Tenjinyama also has power, so please go there together. #Sapporo #Power Spot #神社巡り
