At Kenfukuji Temple in Takato-cho, Ina City, Nagano Prefecture, there is a master craftsman in Takato Masonry, by Sadaharu Moriya. The illuminated stone Buddha was artistic, giving the impression that I was watching a museum exhibition, and I couldn't help but say, "It's amazing." The cherry blossoms and autumn leaves are wonderful, but I also liked the nostalgic place with a lot of historical heritage.

Kamakura Meigetsu-in Temple's Window of Enlightenment On a sunny holiday, I visited Kita-Kamakura. Even in the middle of April, the cherry blossoms turn into leaf cherry blossoms and the landscape is a little lonely, but the scenery glimpsed behind this circular window is deep green, and I could already feel the Omen of summer. Behind the dimly lit Main Shrine, the colorful cut-out composition of the Garden illuminated by natural light is like looking at a painting. No matter what time you visit, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the four seasons.

Vegetarian cuisine is said to have been brought back from China by Dogen, the founder of the Soto School, during the Kamakura period. After a long history, Japan has evolved along with the growing health consciousness, and various Vegetarian cuisine can be tasted in various places.
