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 Menma's post "Kanazawa Station's specialty "Komon".

The unique design of the gate is a powerful photo.

Kanazawa Station, located in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture in the Koshinetsu region, is a representative station of Kanazawa City, which was selected as one of the "14 most beautiful stations in the world" by an American travel magazine.
The Tsuzumimon and Hospitality Dome in front of the station were completed in March 2005 as part of the city's redevelopment.

The 13.7-meter-high drum gate is inspired by the drums of Noh, a traditional performing art of Kanazawa.
The concept of the Hospitality Dome is "the spirit of hospitality that offers an umbrella to people who get off the station" in Kanazawa, where there is a lot of rain and snow.
Both were designed by architect Ryuzo Shirae.
Illuminated from sunset to 0:00, Drum Gate is also a popular photo spot.

At the nearby shopping mall, you can buy souvenirs and traditional crafts, and you can also enjoy ramen, which is also a Kanazawa gourmet.
For accommodation, we recommend hotels near the east exit of Kanazawa Station, and have good access to Kenrokuen Garden, which is famous for its Japan garden.

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 "Nguyen Vu" post "Night view of Byodo-in Phoenix Hall". The contrast between light and shadow of the Byodo-in Phoenix Hall is impressive. Located in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, Byodoin Phoenix Hall is one of the World Heritage Sites of Ancient Kyoto. It is also famous for being depicted on a Japanese 10-yen coin. The history of Byodo-in Temple dates back to the first year of Tenki (1053). It was built by Sekihaku Fujiwara Yorimichi at the time, and the following year the Phoenix Hall was built as the Amida Hall, a Buddhist hall with Amitabha Buddha as its main deity. The name Phoenix Hall comes from the fact that when viewed from the front, it looks like a bird with outstretched wings, and a golden phoenix is attached to the roof. The biggest feature of Phoenix Hall is that it is built in a style that looks as if it is floating in a pond (Aji Pond). On clear days, the superb view of the phoenix hall reflected in the pond is also popular as a photo spot. We recommend shooting in the morning when it is in good light or in the background of the sunset. The grounds are full of attractions, such as the garden, which has been designated as a national historic site and place of scenic beauty, and the Brahma bell. ◆Byodo-in Phoenix Hall◆ 【Address】〒611-0021 116 Uji Renka, Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture 【Access】 JR Nara Line About 10 minutes walk from Uji Station Keihan Uji Line About 10 minutes on foot from Uji Station 【Opening Hours】8:30~17:30(Reception closes at 17:15) 【Inside the Phoenix Hall】9:30~16:30 (Capacity of 50 people each time) Please check the official website for details.

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"!
