This is the final scene of the "Otsu Shiga Fireworks Festival 2024" Held in in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture on July 25, 2024. The fireworks were launched off Lake Biwa at Omi Maiko Beach in Otsu City, but the shooting point was taken from the sandy beach on the Lakeside a few tens of meters south of the southern end of Shirahige Beach in Takashima City, and over the Torii (shrine gate) gate of Shirahige Shrine. This Spot is becoming more popular every year, and it was crowded with many people on the day of the event. #Summer #Photo Contest #Shiga #Takashima City #Otsu Shiga Fireworks Festival #Lake Biwa #Shirahige Shrine #Fireworks

Azuchi Castle Ruins It is Azuchi Castle, which Oda Nobunaga built as a base for the unification of the world and made it his own residence. It was destroyed by fire shortly after Nobunaga's death. It is a paving stone that remains in the ruins of the castle tower of Azuchi Castle. Is it because of the raging fire that it is turning red? I remember wiping my sweat off the steep slope with high steps, and the rain-soaked shore of Lake Biwa, which Nobunaga must have seen, was also impressive. Anyway, I saw "The Dream of the Strong" and felt the impermanence of all things.

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 Taka's post "Shirahige Shrine in Shiga Prefecture". The torii gate with the sunset in the background, the vast lake and the sky are fantastic. Shirahige Shrine, located in Lake Biwa in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, Kansai region, has been recognized as a Japan heritage site as a constituent cultural property of "Lake Biwa and its Waterside Landscape - Water Heritage of Prayer and Living". With a history of more than 2,000 years since its foundation, it is the oldest shrine in Omi. The goddess of the shrine was Sarutahiko no Mikoto, and it is said that the origin of the company's name was that Sarutahiko had white hair and a white demon. The benefits of Shirahige Shrine are wide-ranging, such as life extension and longevity, good luck, and matchmaking, and are believed to be the god of guidance and paving. The "Konaka Otorii Gate" floating on the lake is a hot topic for taking photogenic photos. On Saturdays, Sundays, and the year-end and New Year holidays, it is lit up and you can enjoy a superb view with a different atmosphere from the daytime. We also recommend the "Nishiomi Seven Lucky God Tour" where you can enjoy the treasure seals (red seals) of the seven gods of fortune scattered throughout Takashima City on special colored paper. There are two types of red seals of Shirahige Shrine, and you can receive the red seal of the regular and the Nishiomi Seven Lucky Gods Tour "Jurojin". ◆Shirahige Shrine◆ 【Address】〒520-1122 Shiga Prefecture Takashima City Unogawa 215 【Access】 【Car】 ・From Kyoto and Osaka From Kyoto Higashi IC, take Kosai Road / National Route 161 north 40 km ・From Tokyo and Nagoya Take Maibara JC to Hokuriku Expressway, and from Kinomoto IC, take National Routes 8, 303, and 161 south, 45 km 【Train】 From Kyoto Station, take the JR Kosei Line - Get off at Omi-Takashima Station for about 40 minutes (New Rapid) About 3 kilometers from Omitakashima Station, 40 minutes on foot, 5 minutes by taxi --------------------- ★ The 14th COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest is currently being held with the theme of "Superb Photography of the Japan"!
