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?

#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.

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.

Introducing the photos posted on "Minna no Post"! This is a pickup post on the inbound tourism information SNS "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS". Today, I would like to introduce "Nguyen Vu" post "Night view of Byodo-in Phoenix Hall". The contrast between light and shadow of the Byodo-in Phoenix Hall is impressive. Located in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, Byodoin Phoenix Hall is one of the World Heritage Sites of Ancient Kyoto. It is also famous for being depicted on a Japanese 10-yen coin. The history of Byodo-in Temple dates back to the first year of Tenki (1053). It was built by Sekihaku Fujiwara Yorimichi at the time, and the following year the Phoenix Hall was built as the Amida Hall, a Buddhist hall with Amitabha Buddha as its main deity. The name Phoenix Hall comes from the fact that when viewed from the front, it looks like a bird with outstretched wings, and a golden phoenix is attached to the roof. The biggest feature of Phoenix Hall is that it is built in a style that looks as if it is floating in a pond (Aji Pond). On clear days, the superb view of the phoenix hall reflected in the pond is also popular as a photo spot. We recommend shooting in the morning when it is in good light or in the background of the sunset. The grounds are full of attractions, such as the garden, which has been designated as a national historic site and place of scenic beauty, and the Brahma bell. ◆Byodo-in Phoenix Hall◆ 【Address】〒611-0021 116 Uji Renka, Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture 【Access】 JR Nara Line About 10 minutes walk from Uji Station Keihan Uji Line About 10 minutes on foot from Uji Station 【Opening Hours】8:30~17:30(Reception closes at 17:15) 【Inside the Phoenix Hall】9:30~16:30 (Capacity of 50 people each time) Please check the official website for details.

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 "Kafe" post "Kifune Shrine in Kyoto". The contrast between the rows of vermilion lanterns and the green is impressive. "Kifune Shrine" is an old shrine rich in nature located in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Kansai region. It has the benefits of wish fulfillment and matchmaking, and is a popular tourist spot as one of Kyoto's leading power spots. You can also enjoy the superb scenery of the four seasons, such as the autumn leaves of the main shrine and the fantastic lanterns and snowy scenery lining the approach. The annual festival "Kifune Matsuri", which is known as a summer tradition, is an event that is crowded with Shinto rituals, mikoshi pilgrimages, and invitational mochi sprinkling. The powerful Izumo Kagura is also one of the highlights. Except for Shinto rituals, general worshippers can also participate. The fortune draw of Kifune Shrine, which enshrines the god of water, has a unique reputation for its "water fortune telling" in which letters appear when floating on the sacred water. In addition, there are two types of red seals, "Kifune Shrine" and "Okumiya", and the red seal of Kifune Shrine can be written directly by the head of the Goshuin, but the red seal of the Okumiya is only written down. ◆Kifune Shrine◆ 【Access】 ・Car About 40 minutes north of Kyoto Station (about 18 km) About 50 minutes north of Meishin Expressway Higashi IC (about 20km) 【Access from Kyoto Station】 ・ Train transfer + bus Time required: about 1 hour Transfer → Kyoto Station to Tofukuji Station on the JR Nara Line→ transfer to Demachiyanagi Station on the Keihan Main Line and Ohto Line→ get off at Kifuneguchi Station on the Eizan Railway Kurama Line, and walk from Kyoto Bus "Kifuneguchi Ekimae" bus stop → "Kifune" bus stop. ・Subway + Bus Time required: about 1 hour Transfer to Kokusaikaikan Station on the Karasuma Line → Kyoto Station→ get off at Kifuneguchi bus stop on the Kyoto Bus (bound for Kifuneguchi and Kurama), and walk from Kifuneguchi Ekimae Bus Stop → Kifune Bus Stop.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is today's inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video" pick-up post. Here is a post by "puzzlumi". Autumn leaves at "Hoyama Shrine" in Kyoto Prefecture The pink leaves at the beginning of autumn are cute and beautiful. Kuwayama Shrine in Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture is a shrine dedicated to the god who created the country of Tamba. The shrine and precincts are known as famous spots for autumn leaves. The autumn leaves are in full bloom from early to late November every year, and can be seen almost throughout the shrine. About 1,000 maples are colored, and the vermilion torii gate and autumn leaves are recommended photo spots. Since Omi Takajin, the deity of Hoyama Shrine, is the deity of Izumo Taisha Shrine and the main god of the great kingdom, it is said that there are benefits of marriage and marital harmony, and that the "Ansanishi" of the rock fragment dug when the Amaokayama Tunnel in the precincts is penetrated leads to the opening of the "birth canal" and is said to have the benefit of safe childbirth. In the precincts, rabbits that are said to be messengers of the gods are drawn everywhere such as stone lanterns, and one of the ways to enjoy visiting the precincts while finding hidden rabbits is to enjoy them. The visiting time of Hozan Shrine is about 40 minutes. To get there, get off at Kameoka Station on the JR Sagano Line (Sanin Line). Get off at the community bus "Hoyama Jinja-mae".
