This is an advanced mountain trail in Kyoto. I think that there are quite a lot of people who are in trouble when they try to list tourist spots in Kitayama other than Kinkaku and Ryoanji. It's also fun to look for it on your own. Retreat Hospital, please give it a try

It is said that Ishikawa Goemon was overwhelmed by the scenery here and shouted. I felt that this was my final destination, the state of beauty. The misty Higashiyama and Kyoto, the stage of history, are wonderful.

The golden hall was built by repurposing the building of the Imperial Palace. The cherry blossoms in the room are the best... The golden hall, which has been seen for more than 200 years, still feels the history. The cherry blossoms in the palace were a little early, but it was very nice to see the Imperial Family, Shingon Buddhism, and Buddhist art.

The Genbaku Dome, also known as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, is a haunting UNESCO World Heritage site that stands as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II. This solemn monument serves as a symbol of peace and a fervent plea to put an end to the use of nuclear weapons. Originally the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, the Genbaku Dome was left standing in its ruined state to honor the lives lost and to inspire hope for a peaceful future.

"Abashiri Prison" Abashiri Prison is said to have the strictest prison escape in Japan. The history of this prison, which was also entrusted with the defense and development of Hokkaido, was conveyed something when I saw the building.

"Satsuma Pass" 　　 What is Satsuma Pass? He was a Ukiyoe artist of the Edo period It was also depicted in Utagawa Hiroshige's "Tokaido Fifty-Three Years" Known for its spectacular views of Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay At a mountain pass that was a difficult place on the Tokaido Highway connecting Yui inn and Okitsu inn The night view here is good if the weather is good You can see Mt. Fuji beautifully and it is a superb view. This photo is a photo that I managed to take many times by car for about 5 hours from Shiga, and I have a great feeling.

"Feast of the Old Castle" Built in 1622 (Genwa 8) Hikone Castle is one of the five castles designated as a national treasure. Fireworks go up grandly from behind Hikone Castle. It was like a banquet in an old castle.

Today, I attended the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival. It seems that 5/15 is the annual festival of the pox shrine in Setsha. The photo was taken on May 3, and the moeki-colored sea bream lottery was gone today.

Photographed 4/27/24. This is Hanatetsu's Hanachozu.

During my visit to western Japan last autumn, my final stop was Hiroshima. Despite its tragic history, the city serves as a powerful symbol of resilience, much like the phoenix rising from the ashes. The Hiroshima Castle, which was reconstructed after being destroyed in World War II, stands as a testament to this resilience. The castle grounds provide a peaceful retreat with a variety of trees and flowers, creating a beautiful and tranquil setting for visitors. Inside the castle tower, the museum offers a chance to explore the rich history of the Hiroshima castle town and provides breathtaking views of the city from the observation platform at the top.

When I was walking along the Kinukake road, I turned around and saw the Niomon gate towering over me. Thank you, I'll be back. As we run, the gentle Spring sunlight shines on us.

If such a large gate is located near the Golden Pavilion and the rock garden of Ryoanji Temple, why doesn't everyone go? And that's fine. You can leave it as it is. Remembering the Rashomon gate that used to be in Heiankyo, I walked slowly, indulging in the thoughts of the thief in the rain inn under the Rashomon.

When the number of people at Nanzenji Temple increased, it happened to be in a place I was passing by. It is the entrance to the national treasure, Nanzenji Temple Hojo. Impression when I think about inviting imperial envoys and messengers of the shogunate from here. I want to let a lot of people know this, but I want to keep it to myself. With that in mind, I'm typing today

Later, in 1952 (Showa 27)), five buildings, the castle tower, the Inuiko castle tower, the Wataru tower, the Tatsumi tower, and the Tsukimi tower, were designated as national treasures. Half of the body is illuminated by the setting sun, and the light and shadow form a wonderful harmony. Ducks swimming leisurely in the moat accentuate the enormity of the castle.

Tamba Sasayama City Daishoin While many castles in various parts of Japan were destroyed by the decree for the abolition of castles after the abolition of feudal prefectures, Daishoin escaped the disaster, but it was unfortunately destroyed by fire in Showa 194 (1944). After that, it was rebuilt in April of 2000 (Heisei 12) (Heisei 12) with the passionate wishes and precious donations of citizens. The structure is similar to Nijo Castle in Kyoto.

Photographed 4/8/24. This is the scenery of the approach to Kawagoe Hachimangu Shrine. It is a very beautiful flower, but what kind of flower?

After climbing the wonderful gate, I looked at it from below. I was surprised that it was so big. I thought it would be nice to look at it from below. The thought that the great thief under the heavens also saw this scenery gave me goosebumps. It's chilly and I can't stop the excitement that doesn't subside even if I put on a coat.
