"Exchange between Zenkoji Temple and Thai Temples"
On October 19th, a commemorative ceremony for establishing friendly relations between Buddhism was held at Wat Sutat, a royal temple in Bangkok, Thailand, featuring three monks from Zenkoji Temple and local monks.
This temple exchange aimed to deepen mutual understanding between the two countries and further promote cultural, tourism, and interpersonal exchanges in the future. Thai celebrities also participated, adding to the lively atmosphere of the event.

"PR at the FIT Fair"
The FIT Fair is a travel exhibition in Bangkok aimed at attracting visitors to Japan. Zenkoji monks took the stage to promote the opening of Zenkoji Temple during a discussion with local influencers.

"The Relationship between Zenkoji and Thailand"
In the main hall (inner sanctum) of Zenkoji Temple, there is a seated statue of Shakyamuni Buddha gifted from Thailand in 1937, along with a relic of the Buddha sent the following year, highlighting the historical connection with Thailand. Last year, an exchange was also held with the Thai Embassy during the Setsubun Festival, and the relationship continues to deepen.

[Image10]Introducing Nagano's soul food,

Introducing Nagano's soul food, "Nira Senbei" ✨

"What is Nira Senbei?"
One of the local dishes beloved in the northern part of Nagano (Kita-Shin). The fragrant dough pairs perfectly with the flavor of nira (garlic chives)! It's a familiar taste that works great as both a snack and a meal, distinct from Nagano's "oyaki."

"How to Make Nira Senbei"
Mix flour with water and add plenty of chopped nira. Once well combined, spread it in a greased frying pan and cook until both sides are crispy! Season with miso or soy sauce. Enjoy the crispy exterior and chewy interior.
The seasoning and thickness of Nira Senbei may vary between households and shops.

Visiting the Five Shrines of Togakushi Shrine during the comfortable months of September to October is highly recommended!

〈Don’t forget to tap the "save" icon if you want to revisit this later!〉

"What is the Five Shrines Tour of Togakushi Shrine?"
Togakushi Shrine consists of five shrines: Okusha, Naka Shrine, Hokosha, Kuzuryū Shrine, and Hinomiko Shrine. Each shrine offers different benefits and stamps, so you can enjoy exploring their unique characteristics.

"Overview of the Five Shrines Tour"
【Period】You can visit year-round.
Okusha and Kuzuryū Shrine are closed during winter.
【Transportation】Bus, private car, walking, etc.
There are paid parking lots, but the number of available spaces may be limited.
You can use the reserved Togakushi Line sightseeing express bus from Nagano Station.
【Duration】It varies depending on your mode of transportation, but if walking the entire route, it generally takes about half a day.
【Order of Worship】There are no formal rules, so please visit according to your schedule.

"Recommended Information"
【Lunch】
Togakushi Soba, considered one of Japan's top three soba noodles, is highly recommended.
There are many Togakushi soba restaurants around Naka Shrine. Additionally, there are shops offering soba and soft serve ice cream at the entrance of Okusha Sandō.

【Scenic Spots】
The thatched Zuijinmon gate and the avenue of cedars, which are over 400 years old, located halfway along the path to Okusha, are among Japan's top scenic spots.

【Commemorative Bookmark for Shrine Visits】
If you collect the stamps from all five shrines, you will receive a "Commemorative Bookmark for Shrine Visits"!

【Togakushi Walking and Climbing Guide】
Walking with a guide who has extensive experience and knowledge not only provides a sense of security but also offers new discoveries that differ from walking alone! You can apply for courses such as the Okusha worship course or the Five Shrines tour course according to your needs.
