Hyogo Prefecture Tamba Sasayama City Losing Kirai Inari If you climb the stone steps lined with the red Torii (shrine gate) gates of Mt. Tamba Sasayama and Mt.

Hokkaido's oldest wisteria tree "Tenjin Wisteria" Famous wisteria flowers are endemic to Japan, but they do not actually grow wild in Okinawa and Hokkaido This wisteria tree was planted by the hands of our predecessors who settled in the Meiji era Since then, it has a long history, and it is still pleasing to people's eyes Wisteria tree about 200 years old The majesty of it is breathtaking

The tile roof of the temple and the devil's face. I think the purpose and design of the devil's face are unique to Japan. In particular, the devil's face is very COOL and cute. Kobe Mikage, tile roof and devil's face of Jojunji Temple.

Foreigners also ride bicycles around the World Heritage Site. The three-storied pagoda of Yakushiji can be seen from the Nishinokyo area, so you can ride a bicycle around it.

Little Kyoto in Chiba, Lotus Sutra Temple. I like the feeling of a "temple" that is somehow Traditional, Japanese straw raincoat, and blends into the life of the locals who visit Prayer every day.

New green east and west towers. From the hill overlooking the Yamato Basin, the east and west towers of Tomaji Temple surrounded by New green Gari rise.

Zentsuji Temple, in the Precincts in the early morning. For those who are deeply religious, it is essential to pray every morning.

Shikoku Shrine No. 86. In the Precincts of Shidoji Temple, the mossy five-ring pagoda, which is said to be the tomb of a sea woman, is covered with ubamegashi and stands quietly.

A symbol beyond the golden color. The five-story pagoda of Kofukuji Temple stands out even if you look out over Nara City from the top of Mt. Wakakusa.

When I went to Takashima Castle around Golden Week, students from a local junior high school came to sketch Takashima Castle. 　When I went near the wisteria flowers, there was a very sweet and wonderful scent in the air.　Before I knew it, bees and black bees were ? coming to take nectar ~ Even as a human, it was a wonderful scent that attracted me!!　I don't know why the demons of Demon Slayer don't like this wonderful flower www I think it's a wonderful flower.　A shot from under the wisteria ledge is recommended!!　I didn't know that wisteria flowers were blooming in the pond even though I was a local.　I'm sorry, Mr. Takashimajo.　When I looked at the whole wisteria flower on this day, I thought that it would bloom for seven minutes today to the untrained eye!　 　On the premises, there is a rare Gokoku Shrine ⛩ in Japan that resembles the construction of Suwa Grand Shrine. There seems to be a rare sculpture. 　Every year, I think it's about Golden Week, but it's very beautiful and you can see it.　The castle, the park, and the wisteria flowers are waiting ? for you next year, so please come!

The roses were ? also in full bloom in Moroyama Town This is the Takinoiri Rose Garden in Moroyama Town, Saitama Prefecture. It seems that it was started about 10 years ago, and at that time the locals used to go there for fun. Many roses bloom in the park, making you ? feel Spring

Yakushiji Temple in Nara has a history of 1300 years. There is something deeply moving about it when you think that it was shining against the full moon even at that time.

This is higashichaya district. A chaya is basically “tea house “... during the edo period this place was crowded with rich people who came here for entertainment. Mainly geisha performance were the prime attraction. there are two more chaya districts popular in kanazawa. The other two are nishichaya and kazuemachi.. love that experienced and highly recommended place to visit in 2023.

Nagikama Shrine ⛩ The other day, I went to visit the Yabukama Shrine in Kirigamine for the first time.　Last year, I heard Torii (shrine gate) ⇒ that there was a "Nagikama Shrine" that had been changed to a wooden stone monument, and I was originally thinking of going there because of the thaw, and I decided to go with the words of my wife, who loves Kirigamine.　As a lover of pillars, I have come to like visiting shrines and other places, and I have always wanted to go to the Yabukama Shrine, so I thought I finally had the opportunity to go to Kirigamine with my camera. 　I parked my car in the parking lot under the ski resort and headed towards the glider pavilion as I heard from an acquaintance, but I was not confident and was nervous, and there was a small sign in front of the glider pavilion that said ⇒ Yagikama Shrine 0.5 km, so I headed there.　I felt that it was surprisingly far away.　Together with his two children and his wife, he walked for a few minutes while touching the nature of Kirigamine.　I could see the stone monument of the Nagikama Shrine.　Since it is a shrine, the Torii (shrine gate) is more chic, but this is also a stone monument and it is quaint!! I thought. The approach road was also paved with wood chips, and it was very beautiful and maintained and easy to walk.　When I arrived at the Shrine, there was a breathtaking view...　For the first time in a long time, I couldn't suppress my excitement. The fact that the day I visit was sunny was also α to the superb view, and it was wonderful!!　The Suwa Basin spreads out below, Lake Suwa Lake stands very beautifully, the Central Alps are in front, the Northern Alps are on the right, the Southern Alps are on the left, Mt. Fuji is on the side, and Yatsugatake is behind the left. Isn't there a shrine in Japan where you can see the mountains like this? I think so!! ? As a self-proclaimed hunter of Suwa City's spectacular scenery, this spectacular view immediately became a ranker!!　Tateishi Park also overlooks Suwa-no-Taira and has a very good view, but this one has an indescribable beauty because the Elevation Gari even higher.　I post that this is not only in my heart!! The shuin stamps is new, and if you are visiting the shrine of Suwa, please stop by when you come to Kirigamine!!　If it's sunny, I don't think you'll regret it! ・ God of worship Kenmikata Ōkami (also known as Osuwa-sama : Takeminakata God of valor, fertility of five grains, etc.)　 ・ Daisen Ōkami (Ōyamatsumi : As the god of industry and shipping, as well as the god of sake dissolution, the ancestor of sake brewing) ・ Ashinazuchi Tema Milk Ōkami (Tenazuchi) ⇐ Parents of Kushinada Hime (Kushinada Hime : Susanoo's wife) Here, the Dedication of the Nagi Sickle (a sacred vessel shaped like a sickle) found in the former Motomisayama Ruins is dedicated. The scythe is struck on the pillar after the main pillar has been determined. It is said that it is only hammered on the pillars of the Suwa Grand Shrine Upper Shrine, which is a strange thing. The shape is a sickle shaped like the head of a male chicken, which is also the "sacred weapon" of Suwa Grand Shrine.　The sickle is enshrined in the Shrine, so please take a look along with the superb view. Suwa Grand Shrine also has a nagikamamori ♪

I took a picture of the round window of Meigetsu-in Temple in Kita-Kamakura. Famous as a hydrangea temple, the iris garden behind the round window is also wonderful. It's cool Japan to make a window with such a design.

It is the Imperial Gate of Daigoji Temple, Kyoto. The chrysanthemum crest of the Imperial Family and the crest of Toyotomi's 75 paulownia shining in gold are truly gorgeous.

I cut out the corner window of Unryu-in, a separate temple of Senchuku-ji Temple in the south of Kyoto. Senchung Temple is a prestigious and splendid temple, but perhaps because the transportation is a little inconvenient, tourists Surprisingly few, it is a hidden gem temple. You can see Unryuin Temple by going to the right hand side of the temple instead of heading to the main hall after entering the gate. Please visit it when you go to Kyoto.

Chiba Shrine The main shrine of the North Star god "Myomi-sama". The star of man = Evil removal that controls fate, removes bad stars and leads to good stars, and eight directions that avoid disasters related to the azimuth. Prayer is a lot of worship in search of two powers. Although it is located in the city, it is also famous as a Power Spot where you can feel a mysterious atmosphere when you step inside. According to the legend of Chiba Shrine, when Chiba Tsuneshige moved his residence from Oshii Castle to Inohana Castle, he brought the Myomi-son, which had been handed down from his ancestors, to this place and built the Myomi-sha. After that, it was revered as the guardian deity of the Chiba clan until Chiba Shigetsu was destroyed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the 18th year of Tensho (1590), and the temple was abolished by the Meiji era separation decree and became the Chiba Shrine to enshrine the main life of Tengochu. The annual summer festival "Myōken Taisai" has been held without interruption since the first festival began in the second year of Taiji (1127) and has become a tradition in Chiba. ■ Access: ・ 10 minutes walk from JR Chiba Station Central Ticket Gate East Exit ・10 minutes by car from Anagawa IC in Keiyo Province ■Address: 1-16-1 Hospital, Chuo-ku, Chiba City
