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.

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"!

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 "mihyaru" post "Nagano Prefecture Zenkoji's Komainu". The snow fluttering and the dignity of the Komainu dog that feels the history are impressive. "Zenkoji Temple" in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture in the Koshinetsu region is a non-sectarian temple that anyone can visit regardless of the denomination that was founded before the sect split in Japan. The main hall is designated as a National Treasure as one of the largest wooden buildings in the East Japan. In addition, the bell tower and Niomon gate were registered as national registered tangible cultural properties (buildings). The "Zenkoji Temple Opening Book" held once every seven years is a famous event as a grand ceremony of Zenkoji Temple. During the opening period, the Buddhism Flower Festival and various rituals are held. A beautiful paper cut "Mikaisho Special Goshuin" will also be distributed in limited quantities. The area around Zenkoji Temple is full of sightseeing spots. There are plenty of soba noodles in front of the Zenkoji gate, and why not stop by the long-established "Kuichi Soba Imamura Soba Main Store" and the reasonably priced "Juwari Soba Daizen". Local sake, miso, and soy sauce koji that can be purchased at the brewery's directly managed store "Zenkoji Gaien Nishinomon Yoshinoya" are recommended as souvenirs. ◆Zenkoji Temple◆ 【Address】〒380-0851 Nagano Prefecture, Nagano City, Nagano Motoyoshi-cho 491-A 【Access】 ・Train JR Tokyo Station (about 1 hour and 30 minutes by Hokuriku Shinkansen) → JR Nagano Station JR Shin-Osaka Station (about 1 hour by Tokaido Shinkansen) → JR Nagoya Station (about 3 hours by Chuo Line Limited Express "Shinano") → JR Nagano Station ・Car From Tokyo Chuo Expressway [Okaya JCT]→ Nagano Expressway [Sarahani JCT]→ Joshinetsu Expressway [Nagano IC] Kan-etsu Expressway [Fujioka JCT]→ Joshinetsu Expressway [Nagano IC] From Osaka Meishin Expressway [Komaki JCT]→ Chuo Expressway [Okaya JCT]→ Nagano Expressway [Sarahani JCT]→ Joshinetsu Expressway [Nagano IC]
