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.

My today's recommendation is Hakone. From where one can see several things, like lake ashi, mount fuji, owakudani volcano and many more. But I thing the best part is ridding the pirate ship over the lake ashi and enjoy the breath taking view of mount Fuji from the lake and also the view of Heiwa no torii. This red color torii gate is very famous tourist spot in Hakone.

It is Udo Shrine, the regent shrine of Omi Shrine in Hyuga City, Miyazaki Prefecture. The rock cave with a height of 20 m, a width of 8 m, and a depth of 40 m is said to have been dug by human hands thousands of years ago, and this rock cave is said to be a dragon palace and the body of a dragon, and the rock cave itself is considered to be the spiritual area. Near the innermost shrine, if you look at the exit of the rock cave from a certain angle, you can see a white dragon ascending to the heavens. I first visited there about five years ago. If you walk for about 10 minutes while looking at the sea from Omi Shrine, which is famous for its rustling stones, you will reach a steep descending staircase. If you descend cautiously, you will see a rock cave with a wide open mouth and a torii gate dyed in vermilion deep in the rock face where the waves crash. I felt a strange power in its majestic appearance, and I hesitated for a moment to enter the cave.

Sirmichu in Hamahiga Island, Uruma City, Okinawa Prefecture It is said that two gods (Sirmichu and Amamichu) in Ryukyu mythology lived here and were blessed with children. Many people come to worship because of the benefit of being blessed with children. If you climb the 108 steps from the torii gate below, you will find the limestone cave. There is a sacred air in the air.

Kawaguchi Sengen Shrine Haruka place of worship. Mt. Fuji at dusk over the so-called "torii gate in the sky". It is a place where you can see both the torii gate on the hill and Mt. Fuji at the same time, which make you feel the Japan. Have good manners and moderation when visiting!

It is the most popular shrine for Otaru, "The shrine in Otaru is Sumiyoshi Shrine". The god of worship is The three gods of Sumiyoshi (Shikotsutsu Ojin, Nakatsutsu Otojin, and Omotsutsu Otojin), who appeared at the time of the exorcism of Inaki, and Empress Jingong (Princess Jingong) are enshrined. It is especially best around the time of autumn ginkgo. The small black dot you can see in the sky below the torii gate is a tombi that happened to pass by.

Chichibu Shrine Approach

A certain place in Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine that I went to in the summer. There were many torii gates on the stairs, and the sun was shining through the trees. It's like a scene from an anime.

In Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture, the sea of Hawaii Beach is fantastic with floating torii gates. It seems that God is watching over you, and you can swim with peace of mind.

Ukiha is located in the city, This is a photo I took when I went to [Inari Shrine]. At your favorite spot, The torii gate and the night view are very beautiful and calm.

It is around Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Nara Prefecture. The citrus fruits were growing in a flutter, and on the vermilion torii gate, it seemed to represent a bountiful harvest.

Ox Tora Shrine in Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. The torii gate surrounded by a forest of guards is truly a gate of Kakuriyo. I've been to many shrines, but I feel that it is quite rare to find a place that is in such harmony with nature.

When I climbed Kurumayama, I cut out Kurumayama, which was buried in snow, with the Alps in the background.

Was passing through Komagome the other day and stumbled across this quaint little shrine in front of the station. Apparently it was established in the Edo Period but didn't actually look like a shrine until the Meiji Period. It's also dedicated to Okuninushi who has a lot of different mythology surrounding him, but according to what I could find, he was the head of the gods on earth. There are also a lot of legends and folklore about him in the Kojiki as well it seems, the most interesting sounding one being 'The White Hare of Inaba" (因幡の白兎) where he apparently wins over a princess that his brothers wanted to married and then is subsequently killed by them with the use of a flaming boulder and he is then brought back to life by the gods after his mother goes up to heaven to ask another deity to bring him back, after which he is brought back to life as a handsome man. And that's why I like reading about Japanese mythology lol. So much interesting stuff to read about

Decided to donate some clothes I wasn't wearing anymore over the weekend so I decided to go to the Second Street in Minami-Senju. Managed to find some cool stuff along the way. I was walking from Minowabashi and saw this nice looking temple, apparently called Koshunin (公春院). It was a really lovely spot and I would have liked to take more photos but I had some luggage with me and also wanted to avoid taking any photos of the tombstones as I thought it might be rude. It seems the temple focus on memorial services though and looked like a nice place. The next spot I came across was just a really small shrine that seemed so randomly placed that I wanted to take a picture of it. There wasn't much space inside the shrine are so it was quite difficult to get a decent photo, but I did the best that I could and tried to take a photo from the side street next to it which was also incredibly narrow lol. The last thing I ended up finding was a statue of Matsuo Basho! I'd not been to Minami-Senju as I've never really had a reason to go there, but I saw the statue from the corner of my eye and thought "Hmm I wonder if that's Basho" and sure enough it was. It even has "The Narrow Road to the Deep North" (奥の細道) written below it. Also, apparently there is debate about which "Senju" he started at (Adachi or Arakawa), so this is one of the statues depicting the place where he started his journey! It ended up being a pretty interesting walk. I'd like to visit the area again as there was a ton of cool stuff.

Went to Hachioji over the weekend and had a blast exploring the area. We were able to check out the Musashi Imperial Mausoleum (Emperor Taisho and Emperor Showa's Burial Sites), eat some amazing food at a restaurant called "Gonsuke" (ごん助) and a bunch of other stuff. The Musashi Imperial Mausoleum was really amazing, it reminded me a lot of Meiji Jingu Shrine with the wide gravel paths through the forest, although I have a feeling this forest is natural and not man-made. Also the burial mounds seemed really traditional and reminded me of the burial mounds from the Kofun Period. The restaurant Gonsuke was so incredible. They had all sorts of different course menus and it was my first time trying boar meat too lol. I haven't had game meat in a long time so it was really cool getting to try it again and cook it over an irori (I think it's an irori) with actual coals. Can't wait to go back and explore the area again more. I'd love to hike up Mt. Takao and see everything else the area has to offer. Beautiful city

A red fox I met at a shrine covered with snow. It looks good.
