Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce "Kafe" post "Kifune Shrine in Kyoto". The contrast between the rows of vermilion lanterns and the green is impressive. "Kifune Shrine" is an old shrine rich in nature located in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Kansai region. It has the benefits of wish fulfillment and matchmaking, and is a popular tourist spot as one of Kyoto's leading power spots. You can also enjoy the superb scenery of the four seasons, such as the autumn leaves of the main shrine and the fantastic lanterns and snowy scenery lining the approach. The annual festival "Kifune Matsuri", which is known as a summer tradition, is an event that is crowded with Shinto rituals, mikoshi pilgrimages, and invitational mochi sprinkling. The powerful Izumo Kagura is also one of the highlights. Except for Shinto rituals, general worshippers can also participate. The fortune draw of Kifune Shrine, which enshrines the god of water, has a unique reputation for its "water fortune telling" in which letters appear when floating on the sacred water. In addition, there are two types of red seals, "Kifune Shrine" and "Okumiya", and the red seal of Kifune Shrine can be written directly by the head of the Goshuin, but the red seal of the Okumiya is only written down. ◆Kifune Shrine◆ 【Access】 ・Car About 40 minutes north of Kyoto Station (about 18 km) About 50 minutes north of Meishin Expressway Higashi IC (about 20km) 【Access from Kyoto Station】 ・ Train transfer + bus Time required: about 1 hour Transfer → Kyoto Station to Tofukuji Station on the JR Nara Line→ transfer to Demachiyanagi Station on the Keihan Main Line and Ohto Line→ get off at Kifuneguchi Station on the Eizan Railway Kurama Line, and walk from Kyoto Bus "Kifuneguchi Ekimae" bus stop → "Kifune" bus stop. ・Subway + Bus Time required: about 1 hour Transfer to Kokusaikaikan Station on the Karasuma Line → Kyoto Station→ get off at Kifuneguchi bus stop on the Kyoto Bus (bound for Kifuneguchi and Kurama), and walk from Kifuneguchi Ekimae Bus Stop → Kifune Bus Stop.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is today's inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video" pick-up post. Introducing "ksk1991fksm" post "Shingu Kumano Shrine, autumn leaves on long beds". It is a piece that feels the atmosphere of Japan with thick pillars that feel history and ginkgo trees that shine gold. Shingu Kumano Shrine in Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture is an ancient shrine that is said to be a solicitation of Minamoto no Yoritomo, which was founded in the 3rd year of Tenki (1055 AD). The Kumano God Floor (Nagatoko), which has been designated as an important cultural property of the country, has 44 cylinders with a diameter of 1 shaku 5 inches arranged in 5 rows at equal intervals, and all the pillars are atrium and have no walls. This is the form of the main hall of the sleeping hall and is said to be the worship hall of Kumano Shrine. In front of the long floor, there is a large ginkgo tree with a height of 30 meters and a circumference of 8.1 meters around the base, which is said to be 800 years old, and it is lit up during the autumn foliage season, and you can enjoy the beautiful view of the yellow carpet and the long floor. The best time to see the autumn leaves is usually in mid~late November. The red seal and the amulet of Yatagarasu, the divine messenger of the Kumano Shrine deity, are also recommended for memories of your trip. 【Access】 Train: 15 minutes by taxi from JR Kitakata Station By car: About 14 km from Aizusakashita IC on the Ban-etsu Expressway Parking available: 50 cars (free)

【English/Japanese】 I went to the rooster market in Hachioji with some of my students! There is an Otori Shrine about a 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station. I was impressed by the lucky and gorgeous decorations. Moreover, the sight of shopkeepers calling out good luck to customers who buy them was just like Japanese culture, and the students were very excited. On the way home, we bought a specialty of the rooster market, kirisansho (rice cakes covered with a spice called sansho). It was very delicious. There are two more rooster fairs to come. We hope you will visit the rooster market as well. I went to the Hachioji Tori no Ichi with my students! There is Otori Shrine about a 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station. Impressed by the auspicious and luxurious decoration. In addition, the sight of the shop staff shouting auspicious things to customers who bought them was a reflection of Japanese culture itself, and the students were also excited. On the way back, I bought Tori no Ichi's famous kiri sansho (mochi sprinkled with spices called sansho). It was very tasty. There are two more Tori no Ichi. Please come and visit us.
