Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Fukuoka Prefecture It is famous for its beautiful flower hand water and Tanabata decorations.

It is the approach to Kirishima Jingu Shrine in Kirishima City, Kagoshima Prefecture. You will be comforted by the tranquil atmosphere.

Okayama Korakuen Garden in Okayama City is one of the three famous gardens in Okayama City Japan and has beautiful green grass, but the garden with autumn leaves is also beautiful.

If you go through the Senbon torii gate of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, you will find the Okusha Fushimi Inari Taisha Okusha Shrine Worship Hall. From there, you will start to proceed to Mt. Inari, past the pine trees that have risen roots, and if you continue for a while, you will find the Kumataka Shrine in front of the middle of Mt. Inari. I bought a candle at the bamboo shop just across the street and made a request to Kumataka Shrine. If you clap twice in front of the new pond in front of the company, the sound will echo from the pond. By the speed at which you can hear the sound, you can tell when your wish will come true. By the way, it seems that if you go in the direction where the sound came, your wish will come true. Kumataka Okami is said to be the god of competition, and it seems that there is a benefit to win the game, so why not come here when you have an important game?

#Nitori Stained Glass Museum The president of Nitori actually went to England many times, transported the stained glass of churches that were being demolished due to the decrease in believers, etc., to Japan and exhibited them in Otaru. No matter how many times you visit, you will fall in love with its beauty. My family is a Buddhist and I just want to kneel. Jesus and the angels are lovely, but I like the lamb who looks up at Jesus Christ laughs. I would like to see it in a real church in Europe.

Ouchi-juku 🏠 in Fukushima

Famous for Osaka's god of victory Scenery of autumn leaves at Katsuoji Temple Mist drifting softly from under the bridge It creates a dreamy landscape. I think it is a very pleasing spot for foreigners to visit. Very popular It is a superb view of the Japan!

Located in Nara Park This is Ukimido. It is lit up until 10pm at night Standing in a quiet space It is very beautiful and gives you a sense of historical romance. Haven't historical figures also been twilight here?

This is Kanazawa Yuwaku Edo Village when I visited in early autumn. The door of the old thatched house was opened to let the wind in. The sky was blue and refreshing, and I think one woman was a good accent.

It is a Chinese temple called Kanteibyo Temple in Kobe. It enshrines the hero of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu. I posted the photo because it was on the ceiling of the mountain gate and the picture was written in very vivid colors. The one in the back is the middle gate, also called the Denglong Gate, which is likened to the reason why the carp of the Yellow River travel up the rapids and turn into dragons.

Shingenna, at the knee of the great master Scenic green This is a morning photo of Kobe in the driveway again. In the immediate vicinity of here is Shubogahara, where Kobo Taishi Kukai is said to have trained.

The next day returning from my two and a half months travel in Europe, I visited Nara, one of the most historical cities in Japan, with my friends. Compared to the cool weather in Europe, the Japanese summer was too hot for me. It seems like it was too hot for the deers too. I wanted to jump in with them!

Some photos of our trip to Sawara in Chiba Prefecture over the 3 day weekend a couple weeks back. On the way to Sawara we stopped at Chiba Station and had lunch at a place called Common Café. I order a burger not expecting a lot, but it was the best burger I've had in a long time actually. We arrived a bit late in Sawara and were kind of tired so we decided to just go to the hotel, shower and relax for a bit and then have dinner. We had a reservation at a French restaurant called Mougins and it ended up being a really great experience. After eating dinner we were headed back to the hotel and we heard some hayashi and cheering in the distance and we decided to check out what was happening. We found a dashi parading through the streets and they were stopping at different places to pick up alcohol lol. Apparently they'd been doing it every Sunday, I think since corona started. It was pretty cool to see though. The next day we went to check out the Sawara Historical District and after reaching our destination we decided to take a break at a cafe. We ordered a shaved ice and some sort of soda. They were both really delicious, especially the shaved ice. It was some sort of flavor using tea from Kyoto and milk. I forget what it was called exactly though. We also stopped by the former residence of Inoh Tadataka, the famous Japanese cartographer. It was quite interesting seeing where he lived. After visiting his residence, we to the nearby museum and learned about his life and everything he did. I was pretty blown away by how incredible he actually was. I was a bit surprised that I hadn't learned much about him when I was studying the history of Japan, but after visiting the museum I'm convinced he was truly a genius. Unfortunately I couldn’t take pictures inside of the museum, but seeing all of the tools that he used to draw maps and learning how they worked was really interesting. On top of that, the maps he drew were unbelievably accurate. I think it mentioned somewhere that his maps were used until the 1900's, despite being drawn several hundred years prior. His cartography was only one of the endeavors he pursued as well. There were also some documents that explained how he helped his town get through the famine, and also documents detailing how he dealt with local lords imposing taxes on his town. Besides the museum, we also took a boat ride through the canal that ran through the historical district. The canal was quite nice, and you could see the historical buildings that lined the sides of it while going through it. We had to lower the cover on the boat for several bridges as the water level was quite high due to the recent rains, but that just made the experience even more memorable. The tour guide on the boat mentioned how when the canal was used back in the Edo period, it was incredibly busy and boats would have been bumping into each other constantly while passing through. During the boat ride through the canal I noticed some interesting statues on various lanterns and decided to check them out. They all turned out to be interesting and unique. We ended our trip by having a late lunch near the historical district. We had planned to take a train back to Tokyo but missed it by a few minutes. Fortunately, a bus arrived at the perfect time and so we rode that back to Tokyo. It was much better than the crowded trains. Overall it was a really good day-trip style excursion and I definitely recommend it! Managed to find 2 poke lids too!

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

Kamigamo Shrine / Kyoto It is the oldest shrine in Kyoto. The vermilion tower gate shines well against the blue sky. The official name is Kamobetsu Raijinja Shrine, and it is a shrine dedicated to Kamobetsu Raijinja. According to my research, Betsuraijin means "a god who is powerful enough to separate lightning" and has been worshipped since ancient times as a god of evil, calamity, and victory. This was my first time visiting in the summer.

Continuing from yesterday, at "Ouchi-juku" in Minamiaizu, Fukushima Prefecture. It was a historical place that made you feel as if you had traveled back in time.

"Ouchi-juku" flourished as an important road post town connecting Aizuwakamatsu City and Nikko Ima City in the Edo period. Even today, the remnants of the Edo period remain as they are. It is said that it is actually living as a store and residence in order to take over this landscape. The photo was taken from a small hill. The sight of more than 30 private houses with thatched roofs lined up was a masterpiece.

Projection mapping 🌟 of Nijo Castle. :* Stylish cherry blossom viewing 🌸

Osaka Castle, where you go for a walk at night, is always in the season 🌸 of scattered cherry blossoms.

This is a photo of the ruins of Fukuoka Castle and cherry blossoms in Fukuoka City. The cherry blossoms reflected in the castle moat, the castle walls, and the illumination make you feel the spring of Japan.

Osaka Castle as seen from Osaka Castle Park and Nishinomaru Garden in Osaka City. There is an admission fee of 200 yen in the garden, but it is very beautiful because you can see Osaka Castle in front of you and seasonal flowers are in full bloom. Spring is a famous place for cherry blossoms. The view of white snow willows growing in clusters is also superb.

Ox Tora Shrine in Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. The torii gate surrounded by a forest of guards is truly a gate of Kakuriyo. I've been to many shrines, but I feel that it is quite rare to find a place that is in such harmony with nature.

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.

The title is "Dancing Yosakoi Flag" I hope that one day there will be a special four days where you can feel the enthusiasm of the dancers and the audience again.

Just some more photos to wrap up our trip to Nikko. I took a bunch of photos of different monuments and buildings that seemed important or had lavish decorations. I can't make out what the writing on the monument says but I can at least make out the kanji for heart 心. I also liked the golden palanquins inside the the building in the forth photo, although I'm not sure if they were used at some point or are simply for decoration. The other photos are from Futarasan Chugushi Shrine 二荒山中宮祠神社 located in front of Lake Chuzenji. Unfortunately we didn't have time to go inside the shrine but I was at least able to take some nice photos of the torii gate. Apparently it has a kagura hall as well and the entrance to Mt. Nantai is located inside the shrine as well. And finally, just an assortment of food that I haven't posted yet. All of it tasted great. It was definitely a trip I'm never going to forget!
