Horaiji Temple & Horaisan Toshogu Shrine
... the spot, but I followed the tradition to tie it to a twig of a tree in the precinct and prayed that it would get better. (Does this mean I believe in God?) Come to think of it, it is possible for me to marry, only if I make an extreme effort....(LOL)

Suddenly, I felt like climbing a mountain, but I am not an experienced climber and can't spend many days on climbing. So I looked for exciting mountains nearby. I compared pictures of the mountains and eventually I picked out Mt. Myojin of Aichi. (Actually, there are many Mt. Myojins in Japan.) ...
