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 Kunihito Otsubo's post "Gorgeous Nijo Castle Gate".

The vivid shape is impressive.

Nijo Castle, officially named Nijo Castle in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, is a historic castle registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 (Heisei 6).
It was built by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1603 (Keicho 8) as a guardian and lodging place for the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and it is also famous as the place where the 15th shogun Keiki announced his return to power.

The castle is full of valuable historical heritage such as Ninomaru Garden (Special Place of Scenic Beauty) and Higashi Otemon (Important Cultural Property).
The Karamon gate at the entrance of the Ninomaru Palace is a highlight of the gorgeous carvings on the roof.
Various creatures such as shochiku plums, cranes, peonies, and butterflies are livelied.

The seasonal nature and events are also attractive.
Last year, "NAKED FLOWERS 2022 -Sakura-World Heritage Nijo Castle" was held during the cherry blossom season, and "NAKED FLOWERS 2022 Autumn World Heritage Nijo Castle" was held during the autumn foliage season, and a projection mapping show and light-up event were held.

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 "Koichi Hakuchuu's post "Snow and Kaminarimon." The snowy landscape, large lanterns, and scenery of Nakamise Street are fantastic photos. Kaminarimon (Kaminarimon) is the main gate of Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo. The official name is Furaijinmon, and it comes from the fact that the god of wind is on the right and the god of thunder is on the left side facing the gate. The large red lantern with the word "Kaminarimon" written on it in the center of the gate is 3.9 meters high, 3.3 meters wide, and weighs about 700 kg. It is a popular tourist spot as a symbol of Asakusa. Kaminarimon has a long history, and the first Kaminarimon was built in 941. After that, it was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, and the current Kaminarimon gate was rebuilt in 1960. From the end of Kaminarimon to the entrance of Sensoji Temple, "Nakamise Street" that runs for about 250 meters is popular with tourists for eating and gourmets! A variety of gourmet dishes such as fried buns, okaki, and kibidango are lined up, and the strawberry daifuku skewer with a love lottery at the manju restaurant "Kikusuido" has become a hot topic on SNS! You can enjoy strawberries, castella, and daifuku at once. The standard doll grill as a souvenir of Asakusa is also recommended in bite-sized pieces and easy to eat. ◆Kaminarimon (風雷神門)◆ 【Address】〒111-0032 2-3-1 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo 【Access】 Tobu Skytree Line: 5-minute walk from Asakusa Station Tokyo Metro Ginza Line: 5-minute walk from Asakusa Station 【Parking Lot】Yes: Kaminarimon Underground Parking Lot, in front of Kaminarimon Be careful of crowds between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.

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 "keiichiroooo.m" post "Futamigaura in Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture". Futamigaura in Itoshima City, located in the westernmost part of Fukuoka Prefecture, is a scenic spot designated as one of Japan's 100 best beaches. Futamiura in Ise, Mie Prefecture is called "Futamiura of the Rising Sun", while Futamigaura in Itoshima is called "Futamigaura of the Sunset". The large and small rocks in the sea about 150 meters from the coast are called "couple's rocks" and are also popular as power spots for matchmaking. The rocks are tied together by a large rope rope that is 30 meters long and weighs 1 ton. Another highlight is the white torii gate built next to the couple's rock. Since Futamigaura is the domain of Sakurai Shrine, it is said that Iza Nagimei and Iza Yoshimei are enshrined. The view of the couple's rock peeking out from the torii gate and the sight of the sunset between the large ropes connecting the couple's rocks are recommended photo spots. There are plenty of stylish cafes in the surrounding area. As the name suggests, the "Superb View Cafe" has a superb view of the 180-degree ocean view and a view of the couple rocks in front of you. ◆Futamigaura (Sakurai Futamigaura)◆ 【Address】〒819-1303 Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture Sakurai 【Access】 From JR Chikuhi Line Chikuzen-Maebaru Station (North Exit), get off at Imuta Bus Stop on the Nohoku Line and walk for about 30 minutes. 【Parking lot】Available for about 50 cars Please check the official website for details.
