Horaiji Temple & Horaisan Toshogu Shrine
... just like a small shrine which you can find everywhere in Japan and I spent only two minutes staying there. Mt.Horaiji is designated as a national natural treasure and if you like hiking, it is an idea to go up to the top of Mt. Horaiji, but I was not so energetic after attending Hanamatsuri. (Incidentally, the mountain is most popular in the autumn leaf season.) Horaiji Temple was also boring, but fortunately or unfortunately, the Horaiji Dengaku ...

It seemed that I had visited the museum roughly 30 years ago, but I didn't remember even the fact that ...

Chiiwa Gorge & Oniiwa Rock (Mt. Myojin)
... is neither high (1,016 meters ASL) nor famous, but the Chiiwa Gorge of the mountain is registered as a national scenic beauty and natural treasure and looked fascinating.
The mountain is a part of Tenryu Okumikawa Quasi-National Park and it is located in the prefecture where I live. However, it took three and a half hours to the closest station, Mikawa Kawai. I was one of the only three passengers who got off at the station at the time and the other two ...
