Cherry Blossoms

Kirinzan Park

Hello there! I drove to Kirinzan park located in Agamachi, Higashikanbara-gun, Niigata prefecture, Japan :D It is at the base of the mountain and one of the splendid places, where about 100 cherry blossom trees bloom in spring. You get to enjoy not only the murmuring of Tokonami River streaming right next to the park, but also camping and barbequing while viewing the green and colored leaves of the mountain. The date of my visit was on October 17th, 2024. It was sunny and the temperature was comfortable. Without further ado, I am going to share with you all the pictures I have at once.

Higashi-Akatani Continuous Cave Gate

Hello there! This time I went to Higashi-Akatani Continuous Cave Gate in Shibata city, Niigata prefecture, Japan :D It was on October 12th, 2024, sunny and the weather was perfect. I was moved as if I fell into the world of Ghibli. Having said that, as it is a road, vehicles come and go on and off. You will be able to take pictures more safely on weekdays. Well then, I will share the pictures of the gate first.

Ōtomo Inari Shrine – Okunoin

Hello there! This time I brought myself to Ōtomo Inari Shrine - Okunoin, which sits in Shibata city, Niigata prefecture, Japan :D The date was on October 12th, 2024, sunny and the temperature was just right. These continuous Torii gates were donated by those who have a faith in this shrine. There are two approaches to the shrine, and I knew either would do, so I got in from the right side. According to the manners of Soto-sect, it is from the left side that you get in. All right, so I will start with the pictures of the sanctuary.

Kousagi Shrine

Hello there! This time I visited Kousagi Shrine located in Sekikawa Village, Iwafune-gun, Niigata prefecture, Japan 😀 Because it stands in an residential area, I would have almost missed it had I not paid close attention to it. It is around Fujisawa River, and an anonymous waterfall was making a roaring sound for the whole time. The date of my visit was on October 10th, 2024. It was cloudy, windy and a little chilly. All right, so I am going to start with the pictures around the shrine.
