Upon passing through the grand torii gate, you are greeted by the "Ichiryumanbai Stone Statue," which features a golden grain at its center.

Togakushi Shrine is a power spot that everyone should visit at least once in their life. It is said that by visiting the shrines, you can receive various benefits. The tour of the five shrines was a valuable experience where you could enjoy nature and history while feeling the world of mythology. I was able to feel a lot of negative ions, and after leaving Togakushi Shrine, I felt like my body was lighter. It's about a 40-minute walk to the inner shrine. You need to wear sneakers. But it's worth the climb. I also drew a fortune #TogakushiShrine There are many famous soba restaurants near Togakushi Shrine. Please enjoy the soba as well. #Shrine #PowerSpot

Ibe Shrine / Tokushima Prefecture 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 ⛩️Introduction to the shrine Ibe Shrine, whose deity is Amenohiwashi-no-Mikoto, is said to be the Abe Ibe clan, whose descendants are said to be Amenohiwashi-no-Mikoto. They are said to be a group belonging to the Ibe clan, who were responsible for the rituals of the ancient imperial court, and have been responsible for the heavy responsibility of preparing hemp fabrics called "aratae" that are offered to the Yukiden and Sukiden within the Daijokyu Palace during the Daijosai festival of successive emperors! (Although it was once discontinued, it has continued since Emperor Taisho to the present day) Ibe Shrine, which was responsible for the national rituals, was burned down during the Sengoku period and its location is unknown. So a dispute over the genealogy of the Imbe clan broke out. Gose Shrine in Mima County and Imbe Shrine in Yoshinogawa City. In order to settle the dispute between the two shrines, a new shrine site was established halfway between the two shrines. Since then, it has been located at its current location since 1892. 🗺️Points on the grounds ・There are long and steep stone steps, so watch your step⚠️ ・It's not flashy, but you can enjoy the solemn atmosphere. 💗Thoughts about the shrine The shrine is located on higher ground than I expected! There were not many people there and the shrine office was deserted, but someone came out via the intercom and I was able to receive a written goshuin. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈ ••✼ ⛩️Ibe Shrine 🗾2-53-1, Nikkenyacho, Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture 🚌🚏About 8 minutes walk from Konpirashita ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈ ••✼ #Tokushima Prefecture #Shrine #Visiting a Shrine #Ibe Shrine #Power Spot

There are many shrines in Kyoto. After visiting many of them, the following five left the deepest impression on me. Each one is very unique. I wonder if everyone feels the same way? 1️⃣ Kiyomizu Temple (Pictures 2-5) Although the Kiyomizu Stage at Kiyomizu Temple has a sad story, and the legend that "jumping off the stage will make your wish come true" has caused many people to lose their lives, its design and scenery are truly amazing. Standing in the middle, you feel like you are surrounded by nature and forget that you are in the city. 2️⃣Shimogamo Shrine (Pictures 6-8) Shimogamo Shrine has a history of 2,000 years. It is located in the Tadasu Forest, which has about 600 giant trees ranging from 200 to 600 years old. No wonder it feels so deep and full of the flavor of the forest. The energy of nature is so strong. (The Mingyue Orchestra Festival is being held) 3️⃣Kibune Shrine and Okusha Shrine (Picture 9-12) Kibune has its own energy in the mountains and forests. The most impressive part is the Okumiya. It feels a little different as soon as you enter. It happened that the sky started to darken and it started to drizzle, and suddenly I felt that it was not suitable to stay for long. 4️⃣Fushimi Inari Shrine (Pictures 13-16) It is said that Fushimi Inari Taisha is very quiet at night, but very lively during the day, with many people busy taking pictures. The fox statues and souvenirs are very cute, adding a bit of positive energy! 5️⃣Seimei Shrine (Pictures 17-19) Seimei Shrine is a shrine dedicated to the Yin-Yang master Abe Seimei. There are various pentagrams in the shrine symbolizing Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. This shrine has a very Japanese feel, like a shrine from an anime, and the blessing of the Yin-Yang Master is awe-inspiring.

🍑🌸Taga Shrine🌸🍑 701 Nogata, Nogata City, Fukuoka Prefecture 0942-22-0125 I stopped by Taga Shrine on a trip to Fukuoka! The date of the founding of Taga Shrine is a mystery, but according to the ancient legends stored at the shrine, it is an old shrine that dates back to the time of Izanagi-no-Okami and Izanami-no-Okami, who are written about in the Kojiki. It is famous as a god of longevity, and a god of calming the soul and warding off evil, and enshrines two gods, Izanami-no-Okami (male god) and Izanami-no-Okami (female god). These husband and wife gods are the parents of Amaterasu-Omikami, who created the land, mountains, rivers, plants, and trees of Japan and gave birth to the eight million gods. Apparently 4/11, 12 and 13 are peach festivals Especially on the weekends, there are peach sweets and rice cakes to ward off evil 🍑 It's a little early, but I went to see the flower water fountain 🎀 I love purple, so I was excited because it was so pretty! There were lots of peach blossoms in bloom ♡ I hope I can go again 🙏 #FukuokaShrine #Fukuoka #Shrine #FlowerWaterFukuokaFlowerWaterFukuoka #FlowerWaterFloorTour #TagaShrine #PeachBlossoms #Peaches #FukuokaSightseeing #FukuokaTrip #Spring0YenTrip

#FukuokaItinerary My dears, I encountered the spring-only tenderness at the Kushida Shrine in Fukuoka! The cherry blossoms in the shrine are already in bloom✌️ When I was young, I preferred the hustle and bustle of the city; now that I’m getting older, my mood has slowly changed, and I’m becoming more and more fond of those beautiful things that can bring inner peace, such as this tree full of cherry blossoms. Standing under the cherry tree, watching the breeze blowing and the petals falling, it felt like time had slowed down. Although only a few trees have bloomed now, at this rate, if you come during the Qingming Festival, you’ll be able to catch the peak flowering period! Imagine that the entire shrine is surrounded by cherry blossoms that are as bright as clouds. The vermilion torii and the pink cherry blossoms complement each other, and the light and shadow shine through the branches onto the ground. Whether you are strolling around or taking photos, you can enjoy a full sense of romance. At that time, you can wander through the shrines where flowers are dancing, looking for the unexpected beauty. Perhaps you can also make a wish for spring under the falling petals. Therefore, friends who plan to come to Fukuoka during the Qingming holiday, don’t miss this cherry blossom feast at Kushida Shrine! #Fukuoka #Sakura #Shrine

Hikawa Jinja Shrine has a history of 1,500 years and is registered as a designated cultural heritage by Kawagoe City. It has the largest wooden torii gate in Japan (15 meters). The gods of the couple (Susanoo no Mikoto and Kiinadahime-no-mikoto), the parents of Kiinadahime-no-mikoto (Kyomu no Mikoto and Temu no Mikoto), and the couple's child, Oki no Takamikoto, are enshrined. The main prayers are for good fate, a happy marriage and a happy family. Hikawa Shrine is located at the northernmost end of Kawagoe City and was the last place we arrived at on our itinerary. The company has different colors of Tai Mikan fortune slips every month. In July, they are red and pink, and they used to have purple! Miyazaki Dog and Penguin each caught one and took it home, they had a lot of fun 😂 Maybe it’s the season for sweet potatoes, and Kumamon has a chance to dig up red and yellow sweet potatoes to match his look🤣 The painted horse tunnel where people pray for their wishes to come true and the wind chimes hung everywhere made people feel cozy and comfortable despite the 35-degree temperature. Hope everything goes well and safely! See you next time! #kawagoe #hikawajinjashrine #sea bream #divine fortune #amulet #sweet potato🍠 #Kumamon #miyazakidog #digging sweet potatoes #fishing #penguin #penguin #kumamon #tokyo #fatty #July #foodiegirl #raccoon #kiwibird #romance #shrine #wind chime #ema

📍Kiyosu Castle If you like to enjoy the tranquility ⌛️ and take photos alone, Qingzhou City 🏯 is your choice 👍 There are not many tourists here, a good place to take photos📷 The bridge with the Spirited Away of Ghippy looks good no matter how you take photos😁 You can arrange 1 to 1.5 hours⏰️, sit on the bench in front of Qingzhou City and enjoy the beautiful scenery of this city🏯 Aosu Castle is my favorite attraction in Nagoya👍. 📍Nagoya Castle🏯 How can you not see the landmarks when you arrive in Nagoya? But there is no comparison and no harm, Nagoya Castle just has a lot of people 🈵️. There are so many people here. Compared with Qingzhou City, I like the tranquility of Qingzhou City. Recommended for you who are planning to go to Nagoya.

📍Biekoe Shrine🎎 If you love taking photos📸📷, you must go to this Biexiaojiang Shrine! ! 👍👍 Super invincible photo, lace royal hand 🧧 is very special The small paper umbrellas are very atmospheric, and there are fox masks to play with. But you have to plan your journey carefully. I took a bus from Nagoya Station, but there are not many buses. You can also take the subway, but it's a long way to go. 📍Spicy Miso Ramen Fukuro Main Store After visiting the Betsu-oe Shrine, you must try this spicy miso ramen, it's super delicious! Super delicious! Super delicious! Say it three times😋😋😋 I waited for 10 to 15 minutes that day, but it was worth it! You go in and order your food at the machine on the left, and then the lady boss will come to confirm the spiciness and whether there are any taboos on certain flavors. It’s a very approachable little shop, and most importantly, it’s delicious! ! !
