COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest PR
Nov. 21, 2022
Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is today's inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video" pick-up post. Introducing "ksk1991fksm" post "Shingu Kumano Shrine, autumn leaves on long beds". It is a piece that feels the atmosphere of Japan with thick pillars that feel history and ginkgo trees that shine gold. Shingu Kumano Shrine in Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture is an ancient shrine that is said to be a solicitation of Minamoto no Yoritomo, which was founded in the 3rd year of Tenki (1055 AD). The Kumano God Floor (Nagatoko), which has been designated as an important cultural property of the country, has 44 cylinders with a diameter of 1 shaku 5 inches arranged in 5 rows at equal intervals, and all the pillars are atrium and have no walls. This is the form of the main hall of the sleeping hall and is said to be the worship hall of Kumano Shrine. In front of the long floor, there is a large ginkgo tree with a height of 30 meters and a circumference of 8.1 meters around the base, which is said to be 800 years old, and it is lit up during the autumn foliage season, and you can enjoy the beautiful view of the yellow carpet and the long floor. The best time to see the autumn leaves is usually in mid~late November. The red seal and the amulet of Yatagarasu, the divine messenger of the Kumano Shrine deity, are also recommended for memories of your trip. 【Access】 Train: 15 minutes by taxi from JR Kitakata Station By car: About 14 km from Aizusakashita IC on the Ban-etsu Expressway Parking available: 50 cars (free)

Was shopping the other day in Nihonbashi and saw this akabeko and thought it was really cute so I decided to take a photo of it. The name was quite funny to me as well. Instead of the usual "akabeko" this was a "nemubeko," or "tired-beko" basically, and you can see how the eyes are actually half way shut instead of the normally wide-open eyes, giving it the tired look lol. I've always wanted to try an akabeko experience as I love traditional Japanese crafts and akabeko in particular seem really fun to make. I've read a few posts in another places of people trying akabeko workshops and having a really fun time. I haven't used papier mache since I was a kid either so it'd probably be a nostalgic experience for sure. If I do try an akabeko workshop, I think I'll make a "nemubeko" as well lol
