A trip through nature and temples and shrines

The other day I went on a trip to Nikko City in Tochigi Prefecture. Tochigi Prefecture is a city rich in nature, located about two hours by car from the capital, Tokyo. Nikko City in particular has hot springs and is a popular tourist destination for Japanese people. Of course, I went to a hot spring too. The water was so clean that it made my skin smooth✨I would definitely recommend this to my overseas supporters who are considering traveling to Japan. There is a place in Nikko that is quite famous in Japan. That is Nikko Toshogu Shrine. I've always wanted to go here, but I never had the chance to visit, so this was my first time here. This is where Tokugawa Ieyasu, who built a peaceful world during the Edo period in Japan, is enshrined.It is an extremely powerful power spot, and many people from all over Japan come to pray there in hopes of receiving blessings. There are many cedar trees over hundreds of years old, making it a truly mystical place. It is located at the top of a mountain, about 600m above sea level. It was raining lightly that day, and perhaps because of that, the whole area was shrouded in mist, making it look very magical. The roof has such intricate details all over it. I was really surprised to learn that this was the work of craftsmen hundreds of years ago. Each one is handcrafted and extremely detailed. Colorful colors that are hard to believe were created hundreds of years ago

These were all made by hand hundreds of years ago, when there were no machines.

There are paintings on the ceiling

Amazing!!!!!!

On this day, there were not only Japanese people but also many foreign tourists from all over the world.

This is a charm that can be purchased in the park.

It is called the "bell that grants wishes."

It is said that your wishes will reach the gods through the sound of this bell.

Each one costs 1,000 yen（ About $7 ）

I immediately attached this bell to my bag.

I hope my prayers reach God ✨

This is a brief travelogue.

I hope you'll be interested.
