Shorinji Temple

This is a photo of when I went to Daikakuji Temple in Arashiyama Kyoto. It looks like it's going to rain anytime soon.

I took a picture of a garden with autumn leaves from the tatami room of a temple in Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture.

Hasedera Temple in Nara Prefecture Corona has reduced the opportunities to go out, but since my pre-Corona daughter was born, there is a moment when I thought it was good to go to various places with my family, and now is 😀 the best time to see the autumn leaves.

If you feel Japan, why don't you go to Kyoto first!

It is the garden of Ōshoji Temple in Fukusaki Town, Hyogo Prefecture. Kansai Hanaji Temple 25th Sacred Ground No. 8 and Banshu Yakushi Sacred Site No. 13 are famous as Sara temples. In front of the mountain gate, there is a reclining Buddha with a head and feet made of stone and a body of Satsuki with a height of about 8 meters. As befits a flower temple, you can see not only Sara but also seasonal flowers. From spring to summer, the green of the azaleas seen from inside is beautiful, and in autumn, you can enjoy a dreamy world of reflection with the addition of bright red camellia.

This is Komyoji, known for the wind chime festival in Sayo Town, Hyogo Prefecture. There are 2,000 wind chimes hanging in the precincts. Many wishes such as warding off evil and ending plagues are dedicated in wind chimes. In summer, the sound of wind chimes swaying in the wind brings coolness.

Visited Shibamata for the first time over the weekend. I'd been meaning to go for a while because it seemed like an interesting place to visit in Tokyo, but I just hadn't had the chance until now. It was a really nice place and I was surprised at how few people were there. There was a ton of shops lined up along the main street and the wooden buildings gave it a really nice atmosphere. I haven't seen Otoko wa Tsurai yo, but there were statues and posters of Tora-san everywhere, even inside shops and stuff. I guess I'll have to watch it some time when I have the chance. We ended up eating lunch at one of the restaurants along the main road and they had some Tora Miso Ramen so we decided to try it. It was pretty good and had a decent amount of vegetables in it as well, so moderately healthy for ramen I suppose. We also got some dessert at a cafe afterwards and she got some dango while I ordered an ice cream float. We also went to the nearby temple Shibamata Taishakuten 柴又帝釈天, or Daikyoji Temple and walked around the main temple grounds and also bought tickets to see the garden and the architecture inside the temple. The garden was really pretty and the walkway around it was quite nice to walk on. I really enjoyed viewing the inside of the temple as there was a ton of hand-carved panels depicting different scenes. There were descriptions below each of the panels that described them as well, and they were interesting to read. It seemed like they were all carved by different people but they were all highly skilled. When we were leaving we found a nice little shows style candy shop and we bought some snacks and played a round of pinball on one of the pinball machines inside the shop. Haven’t played pinball since I was a kid, was pretty nostalgic. If you're in Tokyo I definitely recommend giving this place a visit on the weekend.

In front of the precincts of Kawasaki Daishi. It is a scene when resting in the shade. The other day at the age of 16 of the Miniature Dax, I took a walk on a midsummer day for the first time in a ☀️ long time after successfully undergoing surgery. It's a dog-like son 😊 who spins the fan on the cart.

The sound of wind chimes full of Kogenji atmosphere Just listening to it heals me and makes me feel cool, and every summer I wear wind chimes at home and drink 😌 barley tea on the porch.

Today, the midsummer sun shines. Cool off with the cool water of Jindaiji's clean water shed. Parents and children use hand water to cleanse. Even in the heat, just touching the clean water makes you feel a little cooler. It was a summery scenery of Jindaiji Temple that walked with water.

Continuing from last week, we discuss Hachioji and subcultures. We visited the famous Ryohoji Temple in Nishi-Hachioji. This temple is known as a "moe temple" and has original anime characters from the temple. It is said that many worshippers come to visit this unusual temple. I got another Goshuin（red seal） this time! moe＝feelings of affection, often towards an ideal anime character Continuing from last week, we talked about Hachioji and subculture.

The roof of a temple is very beautiful, isn't it? There are more and more temples buried in modern society and their existence is becoming stricter. Not only temples, but also many things that should not be lost, such as old traditions and good old teachings. We must carefully pass on those things.

This flower was taken when I went to Nakayamaji Temple in Takarazuka City. Wisteria was over. I don't know what kind of flower it is, but I took it because it was beautiful. Sagiso?

"Golden Glow" I took this photo at a temple near my home. Yamabuki is in full bloom.

A temple in Tarui Town, Gifu Prefecture. Brahma bells seem to be fewer these days. With the sunset sky in the background, you can almost hear the sound of the Brahma bell. And the shape of the cloud is instantaneous. You will never encounter the same thing again. I could feel the vitality of the clouds. One brand called [countryside]...

The cherry blossoms of Kita Shinshu, which are in full bloom, are also blooming beautifully even on cold days.

Superb view of Mt. Fuji Cherry blossoms, Chureito and Mt. Fuji It is a photo spot that is representative of the Japan superb view. Shot at Asakura Sengen Shrine, Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture.

Was nice weather over the weekend so I did a little exploring. Found this nice little temple near the Sumida River called Hozoin Temple 寳蔵院 in Arakawa. I wasn't sure where exactly I was allowed to go inside the temple, and I didn't have much time anyways, so I just took a peak through the gates and snapped a photo. It was a really quaint place and apparently it has some landscape paintings and itabi tablets. From what I saw, it looked like there was a garden across the ground. Maybe a rock garden or something of the sort, I wasn't able to get a good look at it though. The area around the temple was the hunting grounds of the Tokugawa Shogunate as well it seems. Pretty amazing to imagine there was enough greenery in the area to hunt in the past. Also managed to stop by a nice udon/soba restaurant for lunch. It was called Sunaba 砂場 I believe. I ordered the kamo duck nanban udon and it tasted great. Haven't had duck in a while, but it's always a treat. The lady taking orders was really nice as well. Overall a great place!

The Twin Dragon Ceiling of Kenninji Temple is a masterpiece!

【English/Japanese】 These are cherry blossoms at Shinshoin, a temple in Nishi-Hachioji. This temple was opened by the daughter of the famous warlord "Shingen Takeda". Unlike ordinary temples, it is very gorgeous with feminine decorations. Our school goes to visit it once a year. Before the visit, students learn in class about the tragic love story for which this temple was built. There are many historical buildings near the school. It can be said that Nishi-Hachioji is a very good environment for studying Japanese language. It is the cherry blossom of the temple "Shinshoin" in Nishi Hachioji.
