Went on a trip to Sendai last weekend and had an awesome time. We were only there for 2 days and 1 night, but we managed to do everything we wanted to. On the first day we arrived at Sendai Station the beautiful stained glass in photo #1 and had lunch, after which we headed over to our hotel, dropped off our bags, and then headed off to do some sightseeing. Our first stop was Funaoka Castle Park. The cherry blossoms were really nice and there was a cherry blossom festival or something like that taking place and there were some food stalls as wells, so we picked up some snacks and relaxed for a bit. We were able to see the large Kannon statue from a distance but opted not to go all the way to the top because we had some other stuff planned. After Funaoka Castle Park we made our way towards Shiroishi Castle. On the way to the castle from Funaoka Castle Park there’s the famous Hitome Senbon-Zakura, which we were able to enjoy for the entire walk to the castle. The cherry blossoms along the river were quite the treat. During our walk to the castle, we came across another cherry blossom festival with more food stalls. We had a couple more snacks and enjoyed the views before heading towards the station to get to Shiroishi Castle. As we were walking to the castle I found some cool art on some shop shutters. The path leading up to the castle was dotted with lanterns and was really pretty, especially as it was nearing sunset. We arrived at the castle with just a bit of sunlight left and we were just lucky enough to take some nice photos. After the castle, we had some dinner at a nice Izakaya and headed back to Sendai Station where our hotel was. The first day was all about seeing the beautiful views of cherry blossoms, but the second day we decided to enjoy the history and culture of the area. We started off by visiting Zuihoden, the mausoleum for Date Masamune. On the approach to the complex, we saw some interesting buildings where we stopped to take pictures and check out the architecture. The row of trees lining the steps to Zuihoden reminded me of the famous row of trees at Togakushi Shrine in Nagano. There were a lot of different structures, and learning about the history and what they were all built for was really interesting. Unfortunately I have too many photos and can’t post them all here. After we finished up at Zuihoden, which took a while because I wanted to read every single sign that we came across, we headed over to Sendai Castle Aoba Castle. Again, I have too many photos to post, so I’ll just leave it to the famous statue of Date Masamune. The view from the top of the castle was quite nice and the other structures around the castle grounds were really interesting to learn about as well. After the castle, we were running out of time, and so we decided to start making our way back to Sendai Station. We ended up getting off a few stations early because my girlfriend had read that there was an event at Nishi Park. I can’t post all of the photos, but it was a really big cherry blossom festival with food stalls, etc. I highly recommend visiting Sendai during spring, as it’s definitely worth the trip. Most of the places we visited were not crowded at all, and we had an awesome trip.

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 Makoto Otsuka's post "Naritasan Shinshoji Temple". The gorgeous and colorful illuminations are beautiful. Naritasan Shinshoji Temple in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture is a large temple that boasts the largest number of worshippers in Chiba Prefecture. Since it is close to Narita Airport, many overseas tourists visit. It has benefits such as good luck, advancement, business prosperity, and love fulfillment, and is also a hot topic as a power spot. There are 30 types of ema and amulets, and there are also fortune drawing vending machines. There are a total of six types of red seals bestowed at the shrine. 300 yen common to each Mido There is a Naritasan Goshuin MAP at the Gooma reception office, so why not go around while referring to it? On the approach to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, there are plenty of souvenir shops and gourmet spots. One of the most popular gourmet dishes is eel. In the Narita area, eel dishes have been used since the Edo period to heal the fatigue of worshippers. There is also a famous restaurant with a long history, and you can enjoy exquisite eel dishes. ◆Naritasan Shinshoji Temple◆ 【Address】〒286-0023 Chiba-ken, Narita-shi, Narita 1 【Access】 About a 15-minute walk from Keisei Narita Station or JR Line Narita Station 【Parking lot】Available Please check the official website for details.

This photo was taken at Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. 📸 When I visited for the first time, I was attracted by the beauty of the five-storied pagoda on the site and took this photo. We were able to get a glimpse of 1500 years of history.

Yasaka Shrine / Kyoto Yasaka-Shrine / Kyoto I visited around September last year. Unfortunately, it was raining, but it was also wrapped in a fantastic atmosphere! There were almost no tourists at all, and for some reason, it was 😁 in a chartered state, so why don't you visit it? I visited around September last year. Unfortunately, it was raining, but that didn't stop it from creating a fantastic atmosphere! There were no tourists at all and for some reason we had the place to ourselves 😁I highly recommend everyone to visit!

Hida Furukawa / Gifu Hida-Furukawa / Gifu Located in Gifu Prefecture, the Hida Furukawa River is famous as Little Kyoto along with Hida Takayama. The cityscape was very beautiful, and colorful carp were swimming gracefully in the stream. The weather is nice and I would 😆 like to visit again.

The second stage of the Kobe, Rediscovery series is the story of a cat who lives in a shrine. A crest of chrysanthemum flowers in running water ... This crest, famous as the family crest of the Kusunoki clan, resembles the rising sun from the horizon. This is the Minatogawa Shrine where Kusunoki Masanari is celebrated. At the shrine, three cats were always looking down at the people who came and went from the roof tiles. When I passed through here for the first time in several years, I was still relaxed... Feeling smaller than before? Maybe there has been a generational change. At this time, I photographed one of the two dogs. Relaxing in this way, I was still looking down at the people who came and went. Please visit when you take a walk in Kobe. There are a lot of people on the street, so please be careful not to look too high and bump into it.

It is Udo Shrine, the regent shrine of Omi Shrine in Hyuga City, Miyazaki Prefecture. The rock cave with a height of 20 m, a width of 8 m, and a depth of 40 m is said to have been dug by human hands thousands of years ago, and this rock cave is said to be a dragon palace and the body of a dragon, and the rock cave itself is considered to be the spiritual area. Near the innermost shrine, if you look at the exit of the rock cave from a certain angle, you can see a white dragon ascending to the heavens. I first visited there about five years ago. If you walk for about 10 minutes while looking at the sea from Omi Shrine, which is famous for its rustling stones, you will reach a steep descending staircase. If you descend cautiously, you will see a rock cave with a wide open mouth and a torii gate dyed in vermilion deep in the rock face where the waves crash. I felt a strange power in its majestic appearance, and I hesitated for a moment to enter the cave.

If you go further from Takaosan Yakuoin Okunoin, you will find Fuji Sengensha. This was done by Hojo Ujiyasu during the Sengoku period to solicit the Fuji Sengen Great Bodhisattva on Mt. Takao. During the national era, for those who could not go to Fuji from here due to the placement of enemy countries, Fuji Sengen Daibodhisattva was solicited to this Mt. Takao where they could see Mt. Fuji so that they could receive the same benefits without having to go to Mt. Fuji. I was glad that I was born in this peaceful era, that there were times when I could not live such a distance.
