We visited the Jonan Palace where the drooping plum blossoms were in full bloom. A leisurely trip to Kyoto with my mother, who has reached retirement age. The red and white that seemed to rain down was more beautiful than we could have imagined, and the two of us took many photos. It is a memorable scenery that I would like to visit again next year.

★ The 16th COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest is currently being held under the theme of "Japan sightseeing spots to visit in spring"! We look forward to receiving many applications from you! 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 "Shingo @shingo_camera" post "Kyoto City, Cherry Blossoms of Rokusonno Shrine." The contrast between the pale cherry blossoms and the red bridge is impressive. Rokusonno Ujinja Shrine, located in Minami-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, is one of the "Three Shrines of Genji" dedicated to Rokusonō Ōkami Minamoto Keiki. It is also known for the benefits of prosperous offspring, good marriage fulfillment, and love fulfillment. The Rokusonou Shrine in the small precincts is a well-known spot for cherry blossoms. Somei Yoshino and mountain cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The best time to see them is usually around late March ~ early April. The highlight is the red lanterns lined up on both sides after passing through the torii gate, the cherry blossoms blooming on it, and the popular photo spot. In mid-April, wisteria flowers add color. Also, since the Rokusonou Shrine is located along the railroad tracks, if the timing is right, you can take three shots of the bullet train, cherry blossoms, and torii gates. The Taiko Bridge in the center of the precincts is said to have a good relationship when crossed, and is also called the "Bridge of Love". There are two types of red seals of Rokusonou Shrine, and you can get them at the awarding office. There are also Enmusubi koi carp protection and Kamiya mikuji, making it ideal for souvenirs. ◆Rokusonou Shrine◆ 【Address】〒601-8471 Kyoto, Kyoto, Minami-ku, Mibu-dori Hachijo Kaku 【Access】 About 15 minutes on foot from JR Kyoto Station Hachijo Exit About 1 minute walk from city bus No. 17 "Rokusonou Jinja-mae"

This is a photo taken when I traveled to Kyoto alone in January of this year.

Snow Kifune Shrine. The red lanterns shine against the snow. It takes about 30 minutes to walk along a snowy road from the nearest station, but it is a place you should definitely visit on a snowy day. It is lit up only on snowy days at night, so I would like to go there once.

It is Kiyomizu-dera Temple early in the morning during the autumn foliage season, just after the gate opens. In the dignified atmosphere and clear air, the autumn leaves seen from the stage of Shimizu are a masterpiece.

Toji Temple / Kyoto Toji / Kyoto I visited last December. The beautiful Toji Temple was lit up and it was 😍😍 very beautiful. I visited last December. Even just the beautiful Toji Temple was lit up and very beautiful😍😍.

I took this photo one year ago in April at Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto. It was April and it was still cold, so I got up at five in the morning and went to Fushimi Inari Shrine, where there were almost no people. I remember climbing the mountain road with two SLR cameras on the mountain road where the torii gate continued. The many foxes, jizo, and graves standing in the forest felt something mysterious.

Kyoto's hidden power spot "Kamo Shrine". It is a shrine quietly located in Keihokucho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City.

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!

Kyoto Toji Temple They went in search of snow that might or may not fall in the middle of the night and waved it, so I was able to shoot!

The autumn leaves of Rurikoin Temple in Kyoto Yase are recommended. Located at the foot of Mt. Hiei, a quiet place in Rakuhoku, you can enjoy the vivid autumn leaves in the depths.

At Nijo Castle in Kyoto, it is a clear stream garden lit up. I was drawn into a fantastic world.

This photo was taken in Pontocho, Kyoto. This is a photo I took because I wanted to be a person who would suit this town someday.

This is a photo of the Kamo River taken in Shijo, Kyoto. It is a place of memories that I have visited many times with my grandfather. I would be happy if I could convey the charm of Kyoto even a little.

It will be a five-storied pagoda in Toji Temple in Kyoto. The feeling of reflection on the surface of the water and the orange leaves in the shadows were very beautiful. There are many historical buildings in Kyoto, so you can relax.

I am looking at the autumn leaves 🍁 from the stage of Kyoto Eikando. It is dyed red, yellow and orange and is beautiful.

It is the gate of Kyoto Nanzenji Temple. Many people go inside to see the beautifully colored autumn leaves 🍁.

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 Kunihito Otsubo's post "Gorgeous Nijo Castle Gate". The vivid shape is impressive. Nijo Castle, officially named Nijo Castle in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, is a historic castle registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 Heisei 6. It was built by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1603 Keicho 8 as a guardian and lodging place for the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and it is also famous as the place where the 15th shogun Keiki announced his return to power. The castle is full of valuable historical heritage such as Ninomaru Garden Special Place of Scenic Beauty and Higashi Otemon Important Cultural Property. The Karamon gate at the entrance of the Ninomaru Palace is a highlight of the gorgeous carvings on the roof. Various creatures such as shochiku plums, cranes, peonies, and butterflies are livelied. The seasonal nature and events are also attractive. Last year, "NAKED FLOWERS 2022 -Sakura-World Heritage Nijo Castle" was held during the cherry blossom season, and "NAKED FLOWERS 2022 Autumn World Heritage Nijo Castle" was held during the autumn foliage season, and a projection mapping show and light-up event were held. ◆Nijo Castle◆ 【Address】〒604-8301 541 Nijojo-jocho, Nijo-dori Horikawa Nishi-iru, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto 【Access】 By train from Kyoto Station Take the JR Sanin Main Line and get off at Nijo Station and walk a short distance Get off at Nijo Ekimae on the Tozai Municipal Subway Line and walk a short distance By bus from Kyoto Station Take city bus No. 9 and 50 to Kyoto Station ⇒ get off at Nijojo-jo-mae and walk a short distance

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?

Spring in Kyoto

#It is read as Kijima Zaki Amaterasu Soul Shrine Konoshima ni masu Amaterumi Tamajinja. Because there is a "sericulture shrine" that worships silkworms in the precincts, it is also called #silkworm shrine. The movie village is located in Uzumasa, which is said to be an area where the power of the migrant #Qin clan was great. Since it was the base where the chief of the Qin clan lived, it became an Ultra C reading of thick and the rest of the Qin clan's ego, written as Uzumasa. Sericulture is one of the things that Mr. Hata brought to Japan. That's why there is a shrine dedicated to silkworms. Originally #Kijima Shrine Konoshimajinja." In the "Succession Japan Kijima" it is written as "Kijima God". It is recorded that "Fushimi Inari, Ishimizu Yawata and Kijima are not visited by people," and that people were constantly visiting. There was also a pond of fresh water here. Currently, it is said that he has moved to the forest of Shimogamo Shrine. Of particular note is the three torii gates stacked #Three Pillar Torii In the historical note in the company office, "This is said to be a remnant of the fact that Jingkyo Netrian Christianity came to Japan and was associated with the Qin clan." There is. There is a theory that Buddhism and Christianity were newly introduced to the Japan during this period, and there was a dispute as to which central government should adopt. Mr. Qin seems to have been promoting Christianity. Prince Shotoku, who was supported by Qin Hesheng, the chief of the Qin clan, was born in a stable, and there is an episode that is like Christ. Because there are many mysteries, it is a deep shrine where you can create delusions.

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. Mt. Inari is the most powerful in a good or bad way power spot I've ever been to, and it made me feel like I was wandering in another world. So it's a shame to turn back here, but I'm climbing for the time being. Even if I turned back here, it was one of the places where I was satisfied. I was surprised that the new pond was on such a mountain, but it was very large and very beautiful reflecting the trees. This pond is also called Kodamagaike. In the old days, there was a legend that when searching for the whereabouts of a missing person, you could clap your hand toward the pond and get a clue in the direction the echo returned. Recently, anything you are looking for is OK, and I saw on the Internet that you can find out where the people who need to make their wishes come true. And Kumatakasha! I bought a candle at the bamboo shop just across the street and made a request to Kumataka Shrine. When I clapped twice in front of Shinike, I heard a sound from the back on the right. My friend was surprised that it was different because he heard a sound from the left side. By the way, if you go in the direction where the sound came, your wish will come true. I'm not sure, but I went along the road normally. 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? I would like 😊 to come here again someday.

I went there because the Byodo-in Phoenix Hall, a World Heritage Site, is lit up at night for a limited number of days. There was no wind and the reflection was very beautiful. It was built with the Pure Land of Paradise in mind, so it was truly a superb view.

It snowed on New Year's Day 2022, so I went to Kinkakuji Temple at the same time as the gate opened. Snow clouds covered the sky until just before the gate opened, but it was clear just before the gate opened, and I was able to see the snow-covered Kinkakuji Temple under the blue sky. It's a truly spectacular view!
