👍👍 生け花展をやっていたので、拝殿の中に入る事ができました。 御朱印をいただいたら、朱印代はいただいてませんと言われ、そのような事を言われたのは初めてだったので、びっくりしましたがとても感激いたしました。 何度でも来たくなるお社です。 ありがとうございました。

👍👍 A little off the beaten path but definitely worth the trip. Get off at Koro station and follow the signs along the way. Amazingly friendly staff - the owner of the museum in particular, Mr Inoue. Although my Japanese isn’t very good his passion for what he does shows, and it’s clear it’s a labor of...

👍👍 June 4th year of Reiwa I visited the shrine for the first time as a dragon god. I felt that my heart was purified by the very quiet and clean air. He talked very kindly and in an easy-to-understand manner, whether it was the shrine or the wife of the priest. We received a talisman of grilled bamboo...

Kameyama Hontokuji temple
Buddhist temple
👍👍 姫路城からは少し離れたところにありますが、一見の価値がある立派な寺院です。駐車場も、山陽電鉄の駅もすぐ横にあります。 大きな本堂は西本願寺の北集会所を移設したもので、新選組が壬生から西本願寺に移ってきたときに屯所として使用した建物です。200畳の外陣に200人程の隊士が寝起きしていたのですから雑魚寝だった...

👍 エレベーターで7階まで行くとカフェの入口。 「ミュージアム」と伝え奥まで進み、券売機でチケットを購入し、自動改札から場します。 入ってすぐに目に飛び込むDINO、ランボルギーニ、フェラーリ、大興奮です! さらに進むと、世界の名だたる名車の希少車が53台展示。 車好きにはたまらないミュージアムです。 軽い説明...

👍 Ended up at a Japanese mass but it was really interesting. The priest, or one of them, went on a mission trip to SE Asia. He showed slides and told stories of the people and places he went in Laos and Cambodia. Friendly parish members.

👍 姫路城からすぐ近くにあります。神社の詳細は割愛しますが、姫路城見学の帰路にでも立ち寄って見てください。 私個人としては、社殿裏にあります「播磨十六郡の神々」をお祀りしている総神殿が好きです。 また、縁結びの神様 大国主神を祀っており、清交倶楽部で挙げる神前結婚式はとても素晴らしいと思います。 神社参拝...

👍👍 2022.1.10 It's my first visit. It is a splendid shrine that makes me wonder why I haven't been there before, even though it is next to Himeji Castle. I received a red stamp. I waited for it to get dark, but it was cold so I couldn't do it😅
