After climbing the wonderful gate, I looked at it from below. I was surprised that it was so big. I thought it would be nice to look at it from below. The thought that the great thief under the heavens also saw this scenery gave me goosebumps. It's chilly and I can't stop the excitement that doesn't subside even if I put on a coat.

Ise Jingu Shrine that I went to for the First Pilgrimage to the Shrine! !! Both the outer and inner shrines are lush with greenery, and you can feel the natural taste and divinity from ancient times, and it is truly Power Spot, and I think that you should definitely go with someone who wants to have a relationship with you (*^^*) To get to the Inner Shrine, you need a bus from the Outer Shrine, but you can get to the Outer Shrine from Osaka Namba to Ise City without changing trains on the Kintetsu Limited Express, so I think it is easy to access from the Kansai area. If you also visit the Inner Shrine, it is also recommended to taste Specialties dishes such as Ise Udon noodles from Ise Specialties and beef skewers from Matsusaka beef at Okage Yokocho, which is a stone's throw away.

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.

This is one of the mountain trails in Hyogo Prefecture, the former Fukuchiyama Line Abandoned railway lines! It used to be a coal mine, and the site where the railway was used as a transportation route is now known as a mountain trail full of nature. While it is an abandoned railway line and you can feel the history and remnants of the past, it is an easy-to-walk mountain trail with plenty of nature and not many ups and downs, so I personally would like to recommend it to those who want to enjoy hiking with parents and children.

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.
