Hello there! This time I visited Kōryū Shrine located in Nagaoka city, Niigata prefecture, Japan. The date was on September 28th, 2024, cloudy and the temperature was comfortable enough. Maybe because of the fact that it was Saturday, there were a lot of visitors coming to this shrine. All right, I am going to share many pictures of the spot.

Kanazu Waterfall (Shiratama Waterfall)

Hello there! This time I visited Kanazu Waterfall, a.k.a Shiratama Waterfall, located in Niigata city, Niigata prefecture :) It was on September 4th, 2024, sunny and a little hot. This Shiratama Waterfall includes Male Waterfall, Female Waterfall and Sakunadono Shrine, and I made sure of each of them with my own eyes. It is said that a woman burnt herself to death in this parking lot, and it is famous not only for a scenic spot, but also for a haunted place. They say that the bathroom in the parking lot is haunted by a female ghost. Believing it or not depends on you. All right, here are some of the pictures around the parking lot!
