【Akaiwa Falls】 Continuing from the Gyoja Falls introduced last time Introducing the brick-colored riverbed "Akaiwa Falls"! I can get to Gyoja Falls in a hurry. Beyond that, to Akaiwa Falls, follow the dense mountain road. (I wonder if the road is right here) You should be able to find a parking space. To Akaiwa Falls After getting out of the car, walk for about 5 minutes to the waterfall. It's good to go, but On the way back up, it is a little responsive to the body of an adult who lacks exercise. When you arrive at the waterfall pool The contrast between red and green is beautiful. You can also admire the waterfall. Looking up at the trees surrounding the waterfall is sure to give you a refreshing feeling. When you come, instead of fashionable shoes, Please wear shoes that can get dirty and non-slip, such as boots.

Hiroshima I happened to stop by Buktsuji Temple in Mihara City, and the bridge here is nice, but maybe it was early in the season, there are no autumn leaves around the bridge, and there are few autumn leaves in the background, but I haven't seen many photos with this composition, so I dared to take a picture 😀 with this method.

The Oi Shrine Grand Festival is also called the "Obi Festival" and is a festival in which the god of Oi Shrine returns to the old shrine site (inn) once every three years. Today, for three days including the second Sunday in October, a gorgeous festival is held in the town of Shimada where dainu, daimyo processions, Kashima odori, street stall dances from 1st Avenue to 5th Avenue, and ground dances are held. Especially on the last day, all of them form a large procession together with the mikoshi procession, and they slowly parade for a whole day for a round trip of about 4 km from Oi Shrine to the inn. Due to the appearance and swing of the dainu at this time, as well as the unique form of Kashima Odori, the obi festival has come to be counted as one of the three strange festival in Japan. In addition, since the Edo period, first-class entertainers from Edo have been invited to choreographed dances in each town, Nagauta, and shamisen, and Nagauta in particular is also called "Nagauta Festival" because the iemoto of each school competed for throat.
