The last of the photos that I took at Asukayama Park. The first one was a nice statue of Shibusawa Eiichi and the second and third were taken at a shrine inside the park. I had to do a little bit of research to learn more about the shrine, but I was already quite sure it was an Inari Shrine because of the fox statues, but apparently it's called I believe Kabuto Inari Shrine Ruins 兜稲荷社跡, although I could be wrong about the reading for the first kanji. I liked that the shrine had a really small wooden shrine of what I believe was what the original shrine actually looked like, and the stone lanterns were aesthetically pleasing as well. I foolishly forgot to take a picture of the torii gate unfortunately... The last two photos are the statue of Shibusawa Eichi which took us forever to find lol and the plaque below it. I can only make out a few characters that are written on the plaque but there's another plaque on the back of the pedestal which I forgot to take a picture of, so if you're visiting the park be sure to look at that if you're struggling to read it as well lol.

Went canoeing in Hagure, Saitama and I managed to turn red thanks to a nice sunburn. Was super tired the next day after a ton of canoeing but still managed to get a good amount of sightseeing done in Gyoda. Visited Oshi Castle 忍城 and the nearby museum, bought some tabi shoes from a shop that’s been in business for more than 100 years 創作足袋千代の松, stopped by a couple of shrines and enjoyed some of Japan’s scenic beauty. Had a total blast, and one of the locals even gave us some incense as a gift for visiting Gyoda!
