It is located on top of a small Tenjin Mountain at an altitude of 89 meters. Therefore, it is quite a slope to climb. By the way, there is a grave right next to it, and it will be the approach to a slightly unusual shrine. Some people may have headaches. But it's a shrine worth going all the way to. First of all, the main deity is Tenno-gochu no okami (Amenominakanushi no Okami) It is the first central shrine of the universe that appears in the Kojiki. In Sapporo, this god is the main deity here and Suitengu. Also, the sacred tree that you can see when you climb up the slope. The power is amazing. It's really amazing. This is a Shibakuri tree, which is more than 300 years old. I feel that the spirit dwells. The neighboring Tenjinyama also has power, so please go there together. #Sapporo #Power Spot #神社巡り

Ice guardrails created by nature The shooting location was Lake Shikotsu in Chitose City, Hokkaido, and it was early in the morning when a big cold wave of -15°C hit. The spray of Lake Shikotsu, which was rough by strong winds, fell on the fence and gradually formed icicles. The many icicles that form all over the fence are like guardrails. You can see the harshness and beauty of nature uniformly

Introducing the photos posted on "Minna no Post"! This is a pickup post on the inbound tourism information SNS "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS". Today, I would like to introduce "YUTO's post "Hokkaido Monbetsu, shooting with crab claws in the background, a tourist attraction". The sparkle of jewelry ice cream is fantastic. Monbetsu City, Hokkaido, which faces the Sea of Okhotsk, is based on agriculture, forestry, and seafood processing in addition to fishing. Monbetsu City's hometown tax return goods, which are rich in seafood, are also talked about because you can get large scallops. Monbetsu City is also famous for drift ice docking in winter. The drift ice cruise of the drift ice breaker "Garinko-go", which moves forward while crushing drift ice, is very powerful! It is also popular with tourists. There are plenty of sightseeing spots in the vicinity as well as drift ice. The "Crab Claw Statue" object, which is also a popular photo spot near Monbetsu Port, is 12 meters high, 6 meters wide, and weighs 7 tons. It was made during the "Drift Ice Art Festival" held in 1983 (Showa 58). The Okhotsk Tokkari Center, where you can interact with seals, and the Hokkaido Okhotsk Drift Ice Science Center GIZA, a science center, are also recommended for sightseeing in Monbetsu City. The jewelry ice cream in the photo is the drift ice that washed up on the beach. It is not just a block of ice, but is characterized by high transparency. It varies depending on the weather conditions, but the best time to see it is usually around mid-January ~ early March. It is mainly found in the Tokachi River in Hokkaido and is popular with photographers because it can take photogenic photos. Tours are also held early in the morning when the jewelry ice is launched. ◆Monbetsu City◆ 【Access】 Plane Tokyo (Haneda Airport) - Okhotsk Monbetsu Airport 1 round trip each day Please check the official website for details.

#Hokkaido's strongest power spot #Lake Toya Nakajima Plain It is located on the ley line from Mt. Fuji through Mt. Yotei to Rishiri Fuji. Because it is a lake island made of volcanoes, it has the power of fire and water. This is a plain in the center surrounded by mountains on three sides. The energy of the earth that flows through the yara, into the flatlands, spreads over this great plain. Moreover, because of the presence of water, the energy dissolves into the water, so the dragon energy of the earth passing through Mt. Fuji flows here at once. The strongest power spot! It's a natural power spot, and it's the strongest I've ever been to. If you haven't felt much energy, when you stand in a place where you think I'm strongest, I'm dizzy and scared! He expressed his impressions. I also felt the energy spinning there, so it was so amazing that even people who had never felt it before could feel it! I was surprised. I took a lot of people with me, but for example, a person who was worried about his child's school came here and when he came home in the evening, he suddenly received a call from the school telling me that the problem was suddenly resolved. It may be a coincidence, but does it mean that those who believe will be saved? It was May, but the white Yotei Mountain, which still has snow, was beautiful. Summer and autumn were beautiful, but I recommend May the most.

Hakusamu Shrine in Sapporo I visit every morning. The shrine in winter is beautiful. Unless it becomes a very blizzard, I come to say hello every morning. The god of worship is Houji Ōkami Uta Soul Ōkami It seems that there is a benefit of increasing fortune. I feel that they have given me many more benefits than that. I am grateful.

We crossed to Nakajima by Lake Toya steamer and trekked around the island in 3 hours. After walking for more than 1 hour, we arrived at the lake shore opposite the Nakajima pier. From there, Mt. Yotei (Ezo Fuji) in spring is reflected in the lake, making it look like an upside-down Fuji. It was beautiful to see the white Mt. Yotei with the remaining snow shimmering on the surface of Lake Toya. I sat by the lake and didn't want to move for a while. I had a mysterious feeling that I wanted to live here with a tepee (Indian tent) (laughs). A view that you can't see unless you come here at a certain time. It was awesome!

?? The city night view ? of Japan's three new night view cities Take advantage of the good weather these days, go to Moiwa Mountain in the afternoon and prepare to take the cable car up the mountain to see the night view!

Sapporo International Ski Resort the next day after a lot of snow.

This photo was taken in the evening from the ferry from Wakkanai to Rishiri Island. We were able to see a wonderful view by Rishiri Island floating in the sea at magic hour and the ferry that crossed in front.

★ The 15th COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest is currently being ★ held under the theme of "Recommended Japanese Sightseeing Spots in 2023" We're looking forward to seeing everyone's wonderful submissions! This time, we will introduce the post of "Nuko ( ́ー')"! The gradation of the sunset is one of the superb views. An auto campsite located on the shore of a lake in Lake Takkobu (Takkobuko) in eastern Hokkaido. In addition to camping sites, you can also enjoy barbecues, bicycle rentals, and rental canoes. ◆Takkobu Auto Campsite◆ 【Address】 〒088-2141 Hokkaido Kushiro DistrictKushiro Town Tatsukotake 65-2 【Phone number】0154-40-4448 Please check the official website for details.

This photo was taken when I was camping in a Takkobu Auto Campsite in Hokkaido Kushiro DistrictKushiro Town. Kushiro is a city with beautiful sunsets that is counted as one of the three best sunsets in the world. I took a picture of my son looking up at the sunset created by such a sunset.

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.

Lake Toya was formed more than 110,000 years ago when water accumulated in a hole blown away by a volcano, and the top of the volcano is Nakajima that protrudes from the lake. Lakes are the energy of water, and water represents emotions, so it works to purify the mind. Since there is a volcano in it, it is a power spot that has fire in the water. Fire also purifies. This has a behavioral effect. Lake Toya, especially Nakajima, is a place of fire and water, purification and power of mind and body. I think this Nakajima, which is one of the best three in Hokkaido, will be crossed by Lake Toya steamship. From now on, we will ride the Espoir, which looks like a fairytale castle. It departs (*^_^* twice an hour of 00 minutes and 30 minutes.) It is 1500 yen for adults. On the boat, seagulls come in droves. The seagull is a symbol of freedom (Jonathan), so it's exciting. Although it is often mistaken for seagulls and sea cats. Both sea gulls and seagulls have yellow beaks, but sea gulls have red tips, and seagulls have pink legs, but sea gulls seem to have black legs. It was almost a seagull. The first thing you can see when you go over the lake is Benten Island and Kannon Island. These two islands are twin islands connected by a sandbar. Kannon Island is an island with a flat feeling. Here, "Nakajima Benzaiten" is enshrined. It has a reputation for increasing your fortune considerably. The triangle is Kannon Island. It is said that Enku carved a Buddha image on the island, and it is said that the "Guanyin Bodhisattva Statue" was enshrined on this island. (Kannon-sama is kept at Usu Zenkoji Temple, and a replica of it is dedicated in the hall of the island.) Usu Zenkoji Temple and Treasure Museum It is also a famous temple for cherry blossoms. You can see Showa Shinzan beyond the sandbank, so please pay attention. From Bentenjima, you can feel the vibration of the beautiful goddess and want to just look at it. You can't go ashore without chartering a boat, but I'd love to go there someday. There is a three-storied pagoda floating in the lake on the side, and it was also a really beautiful wave. It is said that the white dragon god, the guardian god of Lake Toya, is enshrined here. I felt like an old-fashioned goddess in a whitish costume, so maybe Benten-sama? I thought, but since it is a white dragon god, I am convinced. In addition to these two islands, Nakajima consists of four islands: Oshima, where pleasure boats land, and Manjujima, also known as Snake Island, which has many small snakes and cannot land. The steamer will land on Oshima. A lava dome formed by a volcanic eruption in the Toya Caldera about 50,000 years ago appeared on the surface of the water, and it has been confirmed that there are 11 volcanic bodies in the vicinity, including one at the bottom of the lake. The largest island, Oshima, has a circumference of 9.6 km, and the highest point, Tonoshi Kenupuri, is 455 m above sea level and is covered entirely by broad-leaved forest. (from Wikipedia) By the way, the reason why Nakajima has a peak (mountain) is because it erupted in the same place many times, which is rare. By the way, there are actually five islands, one of which is submerged in the lake and is said to be a mecca for diving. Standing on a sunken island even though it is a lake, it is as if you can feel as if you have been made from the lake. It's romantic. When you go to Oshima, there are shrines and coffee shops. You can enter through the gate and go around the island in about 3 hours. The great plains along the way are the best power spots. I'll introduce it in another post later.

#Nitori Stained Glass Museum The president of Nitori actually went to England many times, transported the stained glass of churches that were being demolished due to the decrease in believers, etc., to Japan and exhibited them in Otaru. No matter how many times you visit, you will fall in love with its beauty. My family is a Buddhist and I just want to kneel. Jesus and the angels are lovely, but I like the lamb who looks up at Jesus Christ (laughs). I would like to see it in a real church in Europe.

It is the Sapporo TV Tower in a snowstorm.

According to Otaru, it is the most popular shrine that becomes "Sumiyoshi Shrine when it comes to Otaru's shrines". 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 characterized by a slope that extends straight from the first torii gate to the shrine in the back. As you climb the stairs many times and pass through the torii gates one by one, you can feel the transformation from the mundane world to the sanctuary where God is present. Feel the impression of diving into the first torii gate and after the last torii gate, the atmosphere changes completely, and you gradually become filled with beautiful and gentle spirit. If you look back from the shrine, you can see the straight road of the precincts and the sea beyond, so please look back. I feel like I can see a dragon emerging from the sea and heading straight towards the beautiful worship hall. From spring to the beginning of autumn, if you want to make the hearts of worshippers even more enlivened by the flower water in cooperation with Otaru Flower, please visit us.
