Genkokuji Temple is located in Takadanobaba, Tokyo. It is located very close to Shinjuku Suwa Shrine, and although it is now independent, it was once the head temple of Suwa Shrine. Although it is a temple in the city center, the grounds are quiet, with a well-maintained courtyard, a magnificent bell tower, and a hexagonal hall dedicated to Benzaiten, creating a tranquil space where you can take a break and forget the hustle and bustle of the city! I always feel like I've jumped into another world The main hall at the top of the stone steps is a wooden structure that has a sense of history The wooden sign with "Genkokuji" written on it hanging in front of it gives a sense of strength 👀 ※It seems that a lot of large pine cones were harvested from the pine tree in the temple grounds, so I was given one 🙏 Pine cones... somehow go well with temples, don't they ☺️ -—————————————— [Access 🚌] ①10 minutes walk from JR Yamanote Line "Takadanobaba Station" ②5 minutes walk from Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line "Nishi-Waseda Station" [Opening hours 🕰️] 9:00-17:00 -———————————— #2025 #MayVisit #Tokyo #TokyoWalk #Shinjuku #Takadanobaba #Nishi-Waseda #Genkokuji #ExploringHistory #FeelingHistory #VisitingTemples and Shrines #Time at an ancient temple #Ancient shrines and temples #Quiet space #Camera trip #SLR #Canoneoskissx9i #I love traveling #Travel records #Temple and shrine records #Traveling Japan #Where should I go next? #Japan #Japantravel #Tokyo #Enjoy Japan

Shinjuku Suwa Shrine is located in Takadanobaba, Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo. It is famous as one of the most powerful spots in Takadanobaba. Its history dates back to the Heian period, and it is one of the shrines that has been deeply involved in the transition of the eras from the Kamakura to the Edo period. The large torii gate facing the road is the landmark, and when you go through it, you will first see the chozuya (purification fountain) on your left! The sacred water flowing from the bamboo tube added by the dragon springs from within the grounds and is called the "sacred spring of Suwa." It is said to be beneficial for various illnesses, especially eye diseases... 👀 If you go further inside, the main shrine will appear! The contrast between the stately exterior, beautifully decorated with the chrysanthemum crest, and the calm colors was beautiful✨ I came to pray with a sense of determination🙏 To the left of the main hall, there is the "Miya Mikoshi Storehouse," which was built to resemble the national treasure Azekura storehouse at Toshodaiji Temple in Nara Prefecture, and to the right is the "Kagura Hall," where songs and dances are performed to dedicate to the gods, and there are many other precious structures to see! In addition, there are many interesting spots scattered around the grounds, such as "Mitake Shrine," one of the sub-shrines in the grounds, affectionately known as "Mitake-san," a small Inari shrine, and the "Kanjin Sanbashira no To," which has been designated a tangible folk cultural property of Shinjuku Ward! *The stone tower "Koshinto", which originated from Taoism introduced from China, has three monkeys carved on it, and since the monkey is likened to a monkey in the zodiac, it is said that monkeys are often carved on Koshinto🥸 There are several types of goshuin, both written and handwritten, and I was quite torn, but I fell in love with the design and chose one with Xuanwu, one of the four Chinese gods! 🐢 Compared to other goshuin, it was not a powerful and beautiful handwriting... It was somewhat modern, but it had its own unique flavor and was good😌 -—————————————— [Access🚌] ①10 minutes walk from JR Yamanote Line "Takadanobaba Station" ②1 minute walk from Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line "Takadanobaba Station" [Opening hours🕰️] 6:00-16:00 ⚠️Times may change depending on the season! -—————————————— #2025 #May pilgrimage #Tokyo #Tokyo walk #Shinjuku #Takadanobaba #Shinjuku Suwa Shrine #Tour of history #Feeling history #Tour of temples and shrines #Temple stamp #Stamp book #Tour of temples and shrines #Camera trip #SLR #canoneosx9i #I love traveling #Travel record #Temple and shrine record #Travel in Japan #Where should I go next? #japan #japantravel #tokyo #Enjoy Japan

The Kurokami Buried Torii Gate on Sakurajima in Kagoshima Prefecture ⛩️ It was originally a magnificent torii gate for the "Haragosha Shrine (Kurokami Shrine)" that was nearly 3 meters tall, but due to the great Sakurajima eruption in the Taisho era, it was completely covered in volcanic ash in just one day and was now shorter than a person's height 👀 The islanders tried to dig up the sacred torii gate, but at the suggestion of the village mayor at the time, they decided to leave it as it was as a legacy to convey the threat of the eruption to future generations! The torii gate has been designated a natural monument of Kagoshima Prefecture, and next to it is a magnificent old aco tree that miraculously survived the great Sakurajima eruption 🌲 If you go through the torii gate, you will find the shrine building of the "Haragosha Shrine (Kurokami Shrine)" that still exists, giving you a sense of history!

After a 15-minute ferry ride from Kagoshima city, we arrived at Sakurajima, a volcanic spot where small-scale culture continues to this day. We then headed to Karasujima Observatory, one of the observation points located there. The lava flow from an eruption in the Taisho era formed a lava field, and this place was built on top of that hill. The magnificent view of Sakurajima spread out before us, and below us we could see the life-nurturing Kagoshima Bay, and in every direction we looked, there was a picturesque view. There was also a stone monument at the observation point that read, "Torishima is below this." When I looked it up later, I found out that this place was originally a separate island floating on the sea, and that the name of that island was Karasujima. It's amazing that it was originally a separate island! The lava flow from the Taisho era eruption swallowed up Torishima, and it became part of the Sakurajima landscape we see today! It was a place where the terrible impact of the eruption and the wonders of nature were quietly discussed ⛰️ -—————————————— [Access🚗🚌] ①About 30 minutes on foot from Sakurajima Port Ferry Terminal ②About 4 minutes by car from Sakurajima Ferry Toll Gate ③Take the "Sakurajima Island View" bus Get off at "Karasujima Observatory" -————————————— #2025 #Kagoshima Prefecture #Kagoshima Trip #Kagoshima Trip #Sakurajima Ferry #Sakurajima #Volcano #Karasujima Observatory #Observation Spot #Kagoshima Bay #Landscape of Nature #Breathtaking View #Lava #Karasujima #Landscape of Southern Kagoshima #Eruption #Active Volcano #Amazing Nature #Camera Trip #Single-lens Reflex Camera #canoneoskissx9i #I Love Traveling #Travel Records #Cut-out World #Traveling in Japan #Where should I go next? #japan #japantravel #kagoshima #Domestic travel strategy

"Sengakuen Garden" is a garden with a borrowed landscape that overlooks the majestic Sakurajima. This place has a deep connection with the Shimazu family, a famous family that has ruled southern Kyushu for about 700 years since the Kamakura period, until the Edo period. It was built as a villa by Shimazu Mitsuhisa, the 19th head of the Shimazu family, and the large garden, which resembles Kinko Bay, one of the 100 most scenic spots in Japan, as a pond, is said to have fascinated many people, including the famous Princess Atsuhime.

Namiyoke Shrine in Tsukiji, Tokyo ⛩️ This shrine is located at the back of Tsukiji Market, a seafood market and gourmet tourist destination, and is said to have the power to ward off evil, disasters, and prosperity in business, and is loved by people who work at Tsukiji Market 🌊 About 370 years ago, during the Edo period 🏯 As part of the expansion of Edo Castle, the entire Tsukiji area, which was once surrounded by sea, was being reclaimed, but the construction was slow to progress due to the effects of the waves. They are at their wits' end. One night, people discovered the deity Inari Okami floating on the sea, emitting a divine light. They immediately built a shrine and enshrined the deity, and the raging waves calmed down, and the land reclamation work was successfully completed. 🥸 As soon as you enter the shrine grounds, you will see magnificent red and black "lion heads" dedicated on both sides, and during the annual summer festival, the "Tsukiji Lion Festival," several people carry these "lion heads" and parade through Tsukiji!

The illumination period is limited to certain areas, but the representative snow hangings and autumn leaves were illuminated by numerous lights, creating a fantastic space📸 The upside-down view reflected on the water surface was also outstanding! ※The contrast between the garden and the lanterns was a truly "Japanese" landscape It's amazing that the admission fee is free for this 🙏 A stroll through the gardens on a long autumn night 🚶 I felt a little of winter coming 😌 -—————————————— [Access 🚌] ①Take the "Castle Town Kanazawa Tour Bus" from JR Kanazawa Station Get off at "Kenrokuenshita/Kanazawa Castle" Just a short walk away [Opening hours🕰️] 7:00-18:00 (March-October 15th) 8:00-17:00 (October 16th-February) *Last admission is 30 minutes before closing *Admission is free during the light-up✌️ [Admission fee💰] Adults: 320 yen Children: 100 yen -—————————————— #Autumn trip #Ishikawa Prefecture #Ishikawa trip #Kanazawa #Kanazawa trip #Kenrokuen #Kenrokuen light-up #Kenrokuen walk #Kaga million stone #Three famous gardens of Japan #Garden scenery #Garden walk #Feel the history #I love history #Journey to touch historical culture #Camera trip #SLR #canoneosx9i #I love traveling #Travel record #Cut-out world #Travel in Japan #Where should I go next? #japan #japantravel #Domestic travel record

Myoryuji Temple in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture Also known as the "Ninja Temple," this place is just like a Karakuri mansion, with a pitfall offering box, a hidden staircase hidden in the floorboards, and a well that is said to have a secret passage to Kanazawa Castle. It is a Nichiren sect temple associated with the Maeda family of the Kaga domain, and when it was first built, it also served as a fortress to protect against attacks from enemy forces! The exterior is two stories, but it is actually seven stories tall, and there are more than 20 rooms and staircases, so the interior is like a maze, and it is said that once you step inside, you cannot get out. Reservations are required, but a dedicated guide will guide you through the hall, so you can get a close-up look at the Karakuri mansion. ※Reservations are full, so please be careful. I couldn't make it 🥲 And there are dog statues here and there in the temple grounds 🐕 Three dog statues praying towards the main hall, and even a dog bathing in the hot water next to the flower water fountain... I don't know how to describe it... but there was a sense of "healing" there that didn't seem appropriate for a ninja temple 😌 -————————————— [Access 🚌] 1.

The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture is a famous tourist spot that you can't miss when visiting Kanazawa. It was established with the concept of creating new culture and making the city more lively. 👩🎨 The museum's signature piece, "Swimming Pool" by Argentine artist Leandro Erlich, is a much-talked-about piece that allows people to meet above and below ground through the surface of the pool, and it was extremely popular! In reality, water is just poured over transparent glass, but from above it feels like you're underwater, and below is a space dyed light blue! Each exhibition hall is divided into private rooms, and each room has its own unique worldview! The real Pikachu exhibit was particularly impressive and worth seeing! It was pretty realistic....🐭 The white interior is decorated with walls covered in flowers and cute chairs with bunny ears, and is filled with art and playful ideas that are unique to museums✨ *I also found Takashi Murakami's flower ball💐 Not only inside the museum, but also in the outdoor exhibition area, which is open to the public for free, the world of modern art is spread out, from art pieces that reproduce the three primary colors to art pieces of trumpets sticking out from the grass, making it a museum that is truly like a park! The "Spherical Pavilion" is a collection of many stainless steel spheres, and each landscape reflected in the sphere is subtly different, allowing you to experience a mysterious sense of perspective that draws you into a four-dimensional world like in a science fiction movie! This is a spot you can't miss when sightseeing in Kanazawa, so be sure to visit it at least once 😌 ※Reservations are required for the "swimming pool," so don't forget to make a reservation 🙏 -—————————————— [Access🚌] ①Take the "Castle Town Kanazawa Tour Bus" from JR Kanazawa Station, and get off at "Hirosaka 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art" [Opening hours🕰️] 10:00-18:00 ※Until 20:00 on Fridays and Saturdays -————————————— #AutumnTrip #IshikawaPrefecture #IshikawaTrip #Kanazawa #KanazawaTrip #KanazawaTourism #Kanazawa21stCenturyMuseumofContemporaryArt #CameraTrip #SLR #canoneosx9i #ILoveTraveling #TravelRecord #CutOutWorld #TravelingJapan #WhereShouldIGoNext #japan #japantravel #Domestic travel record

Among them, the Daiso-do is so large that you can't help but look up, and it is said to be used as a place for memorial service training, so when you go inside, you will see a large hall. It was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and I felt on edge ✊ Many registered tangible cultural properties remain, such as the "Hyakuken Corridor" that is about 164 meters long and separates the outer garden from the inner garden, and the "bell tower" that boasts outstanding structural beauty, so you can relax and feel the history 😌 ※A temple full of things to see In the well I found while walking around, there was a frog 🐸 -—————————————— [Access 🚃] 5 minutes walk from the west exit of "Tsurumi Station" on the JR Keihin Tohoku Line 7 minutes walk from "Keikyu Tsurumi Station" on the Keikyu Line 7 minutes walk from "Kagetsu Sojiji Station" on the Keikyu Line [Visiting hours 🕰️] 9:00-17:00 -————————————— #Autumn trip #Kanagawa Prefecture #Kanagawa #Tsurumi #Kagetsu Sojiji Temple #Sojiji Temple #Soto Zen sect head temple #Registered tangible cultural property #Camera trip #SLR #canoneosx9i #Traveling through history #Places where you can feel history #I love traveling #Travel record #Cut-out world #Traveling in Japan #Where should I go next? #japan #japantravel #Domestic travel record
