Today, I went to the Kirigamine Opening Festival. The weather was nice and warm. The second spiritual peak, Mt. Fuji, also welcomed us with our faces. In the midst of all this, I was 💦 drenched in sweat just by going up to the fog bell tower 　It was 🏔 the first outdoor opening ceremony in three years Many people attended and we were able to hold a mountain opening ceremony. At the opening, a member of the Kirigamine Glider Association flew a 🛩 glider at 9:00 a.m. Immediately after the start, we went up to an altitude of about 1900m. It's 🛫 a glider, so it takes off very quietly If there is no weight limit, I would like to try it at least once!!　 　At the opening ceremony, the priest of Tenaga Shrine prayed for the safety of tourists, people passing through Kirigamine, and everyone related to Kirigamine. Please come to the Kirigamine Nagikama Shrine, which I introduced before, which is a Suwa hidden gem superb view point! 　When you come to Kirigamine or Suwa, please 🚙 drive safely = 3

Jizoin is located in Shiga, Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture. Suwa 33 Kannon's 16th Jizoin Jizoin is famous for its Katsura tree, which is a designated natural monument of Suwa City, but it is also famous as Botan Temple. The large-flowered flowers are spectacular and colorful. ※Karin-chanko Bus Yamato-Shiga Line 🚌 Get off at Kirigamine Exit → Kamisuwa Station → 2 minutes on foot

This is higashichaya district. A chaya is basically “tea house “... during the edo period this place was crowded with rich people who came here for entertainment. Mainly geisha performance were the prime attraction. there are two more chaya districts popular in kanazawa. The other two are nishichaya and kazuemachi.. love that experienced and highly recommended place to visit in 2023.

Nagikama Shrine ⛩ The other day, I went to visit the Yabukama Shrine in Kirigamine for the first time.　Last year, I heard Torii shrine gate ⇒ that there was a "Nagikama Shrine" that had been changed to a wooden stone monument, and I was originally thinking of going there because of the thaw, and I decided to go with the words of my wife, who loves Kirigamine.　As a lover of pillars, I have come to like visiting shrines and other places, and I have always wanted to go to the Yabukama Shrine, so I thought I finally had the opportunity to go to Kirigamine with my camera. 　I parked my car in the parking lot under the ski resort and headed towards the glider pavilion as I heard from an acquaintance, but I was not confident and was nervous, and there was a small sign in front of the glider pavilion that said ⇒ Yagikama Shrine 0.5 km, so I headed there.　I felt that it was surprisingly far away.　Together with his two children and his wife, he walked for a few minutes while touching the nature of Kirigamine.　I could see the stone monument of the Nagikama Shrine.　Since it is a shrine, the Torii shrine gate is more chic, but this is also a stone monument and it is quaint!! I thought. The approach road was also paved with wood chips, and it was very beautiful and maintained and easy to walk.　When I arrived at the Shrine, there was a breathtaking view...　For the first time in a long time, I couldn't suppress my excitement. The fact that the day I visit was sunny was also α to the superb view, and it was wonderful!!　The Suwa Basin spreads out below, Lake Suwa Lake stands very beautifully, the Central Alps are in front, the Northern Alps are on the right, the Southern Alps are on the left, Mt. Fuji is on the side, and Yatsugatake is behind the left. Isn't there a shrine in Japan where you can see the mountains like this? I think so!! 🏔 As a self-proclaimed hunter of Suwa City's spectacular scenery, this spectacular view immediately became a ranker!!　Tateishi Park also overlooks Suwa-no-Taira and has a very good view, but this one has an indescribable beauty because the Elevation Gari even higher.　I post that this is not only in my heart!! The shuin stamps is new, and if you are visiting the shrine of Suwa, please stop by when you come to Kirigamine!!　If it's sunny, I don't think you'll regret it! ・ God of worship Kenmikata Ōkami also known as Osuwa-sama : Takeminakata God of valor, fertility of five grains, etc.　 ・ Daisen Ōkami Ōyamatsumi : As the god of industry and shipping, as well as the god of sake dissolution, the ancestor of sake brewing ・ Ashinazuchi Tema Milk Ōkami Tenazuchi ⇐ Parents of Kushinada Hime Kushinada Hime : Susanoo's wife Here, the Dedication of the Nagi Sickle a sacred vessel shaped like a sickle found in the former Motomisayama Ruins is dedicated. The scythe is struck on the pillar after the main pillar has been determined. It is said that it is only hammered on the pillars of the Suwa Grand Shrine Upper Shrine, which is a strange thing. The shape is a sickle shaped like the head of a male chicken, which is also the "sacred weapon" of Suwa Grand Shrine.　The sickle is enshrined in the Shrine, so please take a look along with the superb view. Suwa Grand Shrine also has a nagikamamori ♪

I cut out the corner window of Unryu-in, a separate temple of Senchuku-ji Temple in the south of Kyoto. Senchung Temple is a prestigious and splendid temple, but perhaps because the transportation is a little inconvenient, tourists Surprisingly few, it is a hidden gem temple. You can see Unryuin Temple by going to the right hand side of the temple instead of heading to the main hall after entering the gate. Please visit it when you go to Kyoto.

Lets discover the feudal lord era of Toyama. Toyama Castle situated in the center of Toyama City. It was actually built in 1543 by the local feudal lord Sassa Narimasa. Unfortunately, the castle keep was dismantled during the Meiji Restoration. Over the years, the castle underwent several renovations and reconstructions, the latest in 1954. Today, the castle is a top tourist attraction, offering visitors a unique opportunity to learn more about Japan’s feudal history.

Hello. I'm from the photography club. I'm about to take a break from posting because the test is near. I am sorry. We will post a lot of photos when we resume posting, so please look forward to it! Be sure to check out our past posts! The photo is the garden of Myoshinji Katsura Spring Temple!

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.

I would like to say to those who are satisfied with only school trips. That's not enough to know all about Kyoto. If you walk around Kyoto, you can say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of the city. Where is this place? I think it's a journey to find it.

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.

Funaya in Ine, Kyoto Whenever I look at it, I feel that it is amazing to be able to maintain this scenery even though it is close to the sea, and it seems that the reason why Ine Bay is less affected by disasters is because Qingdao, which becomes a bay, protects it.

That was three years ago, when I visited Kyoto for the second time. Ryoanji Temple was closed for renovation work and I was at a loss. At that time, there was a Ninnaji temple nearby, and I decided to head there. Sohonzan of the Shingon sect Sohonzan Omuro sect. It was December when I felt warmth as well as beauty.

Kyoto is no longer the home of the Japanese people. It makes me sad to think about it, but it may be becoming true. However, I would like to see only the Tochi-in Temple, which is related to many warlords such as Fukushima Masanori, in our hometown. Now I just enjoy the garden that no one knows.

3 minutes walk from Kyoto National Museums. Kayakuni Shrine dedicated to Hideyoshi. It seems that the Karamon gate that was originally located in Nanzenji Temple Totou Kinjiin was relocated. It used to be in Nijo Castle, and before that it was in Fushimi Castle. It is a wonderful Karamon that conveys the opulence of the Momoyama period. In front of the gate, two bows, two applause, one bow.

Nanzenji Temple Totou Tenjoan, I walked in the midst of the rain. Someone once said that it is the Japanese sensibility to enhance the beauty of water as it is and feel the beauty. I see. Was this what it was?

Kanchi-in, a temple near Toji Temple. One of the hidden gems known only to those in the know. From the guest hall, a national treasure where Miyamoto Musashi is said to have stayed, you can see the garden of dry mountain water and the five-story pagoda. The view from the bullet train is quaint, but the five-story pagoda seen from here is also beautiful.

The head of the Rinzai sect Sohonzan Myoshinji Temple, Katsura Spring Temple. Moss doesn't talk and shows the same appearance all the time. But if you look at it from a sitting position, the moss speaks. Oh I see??? Is this natural? It was early spring when my legs started to go numb.

A short walk from Kiyomizu-dera Temple to Chishaku-in, a temple associated with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It's a hidden gem. You can have this scenic garden all to yourself. There is a beautiful fusuma painting on the back, and Rikyu's favorite Garden spreads out in front of you. It was sad to leave this beautiful and gorgeous world, and I looked back many times.

The remaining snow disappeared and we were finally able to reach it. Taroji Waterfall in Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture A waterfall streams vigorously through a green space of fresh greenery and moss The white strip was a very good contrast. There is a cave to the right of the Waterfall basin, creating a sense of seclusion.

Sumiyoshi Shrine This shrine is located in Kakuda City, Miyagi Prefecture, and is said to have been founded on March 29, 1326 in the first year of the Kareki calendar Kamakura period by soliciting the spirits of Sumiyoshi Shrine in Kitsu Province present-day Osaka City. The cherry blossoms in full bloom on the approach road of about 100 meters are very impressive, and it is a hidden gem spot for hidden cherry blossoms.

Kakogawa City, Hyogo I thought about giving up and going home, but I waited for them to disperse and wandered around the Precincts for more than an hour. It scattered 😌 brilliantly Impression when it looked like snow and became a cherry blossom blizzard, I couldn't stop being happy

A jizo that I happened to find at a temple in Hyogo Prefecture One 😌 Heart

Tulips are a timeless beauty. With their vibrant colors, graceful shapes, and subtle fragrances, they have become one of the most beloved flowers in the world. During my visit to Toyama, I went to the Nyuzen flower field, one of the largest tulip fields in Japan. The field boasts a fantastic backdrop of Snowcapped northern Alps.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who lived through the Warring States period and unified the world, built Fushimi Castle in his later years. It is a collaboration between cherry blossoms 🌸 and castles 🏯 🗓️2024.4.7 📷Canon R10 🏞️Kyoto

Mountain cherry blossoms in Ino Town, Kochi Prefecture It was hazy and showed us some great moments 😊 🗓️2024.3.30 📷Canon R10 🏞️ Kochi

It's a pity that the leaves and cherry blossoms were in a very nice place in Hyogo Prefecture, but next year

Cherry blossom trees near my home in Kobe City, Hyogo PrefectureThis is a road that I always pass, but it is always beautiful, and when I look at it from a distance, it feels like 1.2.3, and the size is slightly different, and the cherry blossom trees are interesting, and the weather was cloudy after the rain, so it was a little tricky, but I went for a walk

In Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture, there is a satoyama called "Sakatayama Symbiotic Forest". The Sakata Mountain Symbiotic Forest is close to the city and is a familiar satoyama that is familiar to the community. The cherry blossoms are beautiful, and the view from the hill is wonderful~! In order to tell everyone about the goodness of Mt. Sakata, on Saturday, April 13, 2024 We held a hiking event. The cherry blossoms were blooming, the weather was good, and it was a great day with a view of the mountains. Fun was also enjoyed by everyone who participated. Please go out to the "Sakata Mountain Symbiosis Forest". The "Dragon Split Stone", which resembles a rock that appeared in the Adult anime, is also a must see! We recommend renting a bicycle to Mt. Sakata! About 20 minutes by bicycle from Suzaka Station. Enjoy cycling and hiking~!
