In the early morning of the next day when it snowed in Kyoto unusually, I woke up early and went to shoot while freezing. The air was clear, the sunrise was beautiful, and the snow-covered three-story pagoda matched the really nice scenery in front of me.

It is a winter view of Kamo Shrine in Keihoku, Kyoto. Impression when I arrived at Kamo Shrine by walking alone in the mountains where there was quite a bit of snow. After Prayer, I forgot about the cold for about two hours and took pictures with enthusiasm.

About a 3-minute walk from Hotaka Station on the JR Oito Line Snow also fell at Hodaka Shrine, and it became much more winter-like Please visit us for the second year or for the First Pilgrimage to the Shrine Click here for Official website of Hodaka Shrine https://www.hotakajinja.com// Click here for the Instagram of Hotaka Shrine https://www.instagram.com/hotakajinja/...

I installed 😍 a kit wish fulfillment ema We collaborated with KitKat a few years ago (Kitto Line) and installed the ema that was installed at that time again this year! !️ When you come to Highlands, please write your wish at Takaharu Station! !️😝 Ema will be firmly dedicated at the shrine ⛩️! I did a little research on "about Ema"! ⭐︎ Unlike fortune tellers, "Dedication" ⭐︎ Vertical or horizontal writing is fine. ⭐︎ Since it is a request to God, it seems that it is better to write that it will come true. ⭐︎ The name can be either initials! Actually, it seems that it is better to write Address and Birthday, but there are many people who do not write it now because personal Information leaks. ⭐︎ There is no problem if you write several wishes on one ema, but it is preferable to divide them according to the content of the prayer. ⭐︎ It seems that it is okay to dedication ema to several shrines and temples with the same wish. I can't say that this is correct because it is what I researched, but it seems that if you remember Roux, your wish will come true more! 😍 Please stop by Takaharu Station to write ema, ema fee is free! !️🤩 Location: Takaharucho Tourism Association (Takaharu Station) Address: Miyazaki Prefecture Nishimorokata District Takaharu Nishi Foothills 473-6 Car parking is available (free)
