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".

Shiga Prefecture's "Shirahige Shrine"
As the sun went down, I felt very strange at the sunset and the torii gate floating on the lake. I was deeply moved that there is such a fantastic thing in Shiga Prefecture.

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. ◆Kanazawa Station◆ 【Address】〒920-8580 Ishikawa Prefecture, Kanazawa-shi, Kinoshinbocho 1-1 【Access】 railway Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka: about 2 hours and 30 minutes

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 "Teppy's post "Okuoikojo Station" with a superb view in the hinterland of Shizuoka. The station built as if floating on the lake and the magnificent nature are a spectacular view. Okuōikojo Station (奥大井湖上駅, Okuōikojo-eki) is a station on the Ōigawa Railway Ikawa Line in Kawanehoncho, Haibara-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, Tokai region, which won the "COOL JAPAN AWARD 2019". It was built on a peninsula-like site that came out on the left bank during the construction of the Nagashima Dam. The scenery that seems to be floating on the lake has become a hot topic on SNS. To get to the viewpoint with a superb view of the station and nature, it is about an 18-minute walk from the parking lot of Okuoikojo Station. It is also recommended to actually enter the station and tour the platform. In addition, the iron bridge "Okuoi Rainbow Bridge" of the Minami Alps Aputo Line (Ikawa Line) that spans both sides of the peninsula where the station is located can be crossed on foot. The Ōigawa Railway is also famous for the popular anime "Thomas the Tank Engine". You can also take the Toby the Tank Engine and the Bertie bus. There are also plans for day tours and a little longer to enjoy with Thomas Land. From December ~ January 2022, Thomas Fair will be held at two locations, "Shin-Kanaya Main Venue" and "Senzu Satellite Venue". It is full of highlights such as driving a mini SL and an exhibition of Thomas' nakama. In addition, a gift plan will be held for 3 days only from December 23 (Fri) ~ 25 (Sun), 2022. Children under elementary school age who ride the Thomas the Tank Engine during the period will receive Christmas presents. Please check the official website for details. ◆Access ◆ Okuoikojo Station 【Train】 Take the Minami Alps Aputo Line (Ikawa Line) to the 10th station from Senzu Station (ride time: about 1 hour 5 minutes) Oigawa Railway 【Train】 Get off at JR Tokaido Line "Kanaya Station", move the platform, and go to the Oigawa Railway platform 【Car】 From Shin-Tomei "Shimada Kanaya IC", take National Route 473 toward Kanaya City (South) for about 10 minutes.
