#japantrip It is well-noud overseas because of the "Lion Hall" in the company, and has become the leader of small shrines in Osaka. The "Lion Hall" in the shrine is majestic and solemn. It has captured the hearts of countless tourists and made it stand out and become an "Internet celebrity" among the uniform shrines. Compared with traditional Japanese shrines, this temple is particularly eye-catching and magical. Why was it built here? Legend has it that there was an infectious disease rampant in ancient times. At that time, the people in the Namba area were deeply affected by it. Later, the god lion drove away the plague and protected the people. People offered it and let it sit here to defeat demons. At Yasaka Shrine, you will see many lion sculptures of different shapes, and even the outlet of the Mitarai near the main entrance is also in the shape of a lion. It can be seen that this shrine admires lions very much. The Lion's Hall is 12 meters high and 11 meters wide. The open mouth is full of magical power, which can suck away people's bad luck and bring good luck. It is less than a ten-minute walk from the Takashimaya Namba head office in the residential area. Friends who come to Takashimaya for shopping must not miss it.

A shrine revered by the people of Kyushu for generations. It is believed that the deity Amaterasu hid in this cave out of fear of the deity Susanoo, plunging the world into darkness. Later, Amaterasu was coaxed out by the other deities through festive activities in front of the cave, bringing light back to the world. **Amanoiwato Shrine** (天岩戸神社, Amanoiwato-jinja) is a Shinto shrine located in Takachiho, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. This shrine holds significant importance in Japanese mythology as it is associated with the legend of the sun goddess **Amaterasu**. According to the legend, Amaterasu hid herself in a cave called **Amanoiwato** (meaning 'Heavenly Rock Cave') after being angered by her brother Susanoo. This event caused the world to be engulfed in darkness since she is the sun goddess. The other deities gathered outside the cave to devise a plan to lure her out, which involved the passionate dance of the goddess Ame-no-Uzume. Eventually, Amaterasu was drawn out, bringing light back to the world. ### Key Features of Amanoiwato Shrine: - **Mythological Significance**: The shrine is built near the Amanoiwato cave, believed to be the hiding place of Amaterasu. The cave itself is not open to the public, but visitors can view it from a sacred observation point nearby, guided by the shrine's priests. - **Sacred River**: Near the shrine is **Amano-Yasukawara**, a small cave by the Iwato River where the deities gathered to discuss how to bring Amaterasu out of the cave. It is a pilgrimage site where visitors leave stone piles as offerings. - **Cultural Importance**: The shrine and its surroundings are considered one of the most sacred sites in Shinto, deeply connected to the origins of Shinto mythology. Visitors to Amanoiwato Shrine are captivated by its spiritual atmosphere and unique place in the mythological creation stories of Japan. I booked a flight to Fukuoka at noon with Trip.com. Got the ticket really fast.

The Sanctuary of Christ the King is a Catholic monument and shrine located in Almada, the southern bank of Tagus River in Lisbon. The Catholic statue was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The monument was built after World War II and inaugurated in 1959. This is probably the best place in Lisbon which offers stunning views of the 25 April Bridge which connects the city of Lisbon and Almada. The entrance ticket costs 8€ and allows you to take the lift to the top floor. From there you still have to climb a few flights of stairs to reach the observation deck where the statue of Jesus Christ is built. The viewpoint at the bottom of the monument also offers great views and walking on the ground surrounding the monument is completely free. 📍 Santuário de Cristo Rei Av. do Cristo Rei, 2800-058 Almada, Portugal #heritageplace #europe #lisbon #portugal #monument #shrine #cristorei #tripblazers #almada #tagus #river #statue #jesuschrist #viewpoint

Fushimi Inari Taisha Senbon Torii (Thousands Torii Gate) The orange gates at this shrine are recognised all around the world and it’s something you have to see to believe. There are thousands of these gates lining a walk way through the forest from the main shrine to the mountaintop. The walk is a gradual slope with many tributes and mini shrines along the way, there’s so much to take in. The main shrine at the foot of the mountain is intricate and beautiful, the orange is a stunning contrast against the green of the trees and blue if the sky. The shrine is easily accessible with a metro stop right outside, only two stops to Kyoto main station. Or local taxis and Ubers drop off right at the door. They offer guided tours for a few or you can scan QR codes along the trail for multi-lingual translations. it can get very busy and it’s hard to get photos if you go late, we arrived by 8 and got a lot of the walkways to ourselves. Its best to head there early, beat the crowds then have a breakfast in one of the side streets after. #summerbreak #kyoto #japan #shrine #tripblazers #mytripvlog

Meiji Shrine (明治神宮, Meiji Jingū) is a shrine dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his consort, Empress Shoken. Located just beside the JR Yamanote Line's busy Harajuku Station, Meiji Shrine and the adjacent Yoyogi Park make up a large forested area within the densely built-up city. The spacious shrine grounds offer walking paths that are great for a relaxing stroll. It’s free entrance and everyone entering must be respectful to the architecture and forest. You’ll need between 1-3 hours to visit. Inside there are places to worship or you can purchase a poem written by the emperor. It was a lovely stroll and I’d definitely recommend a visit if you’re in Tokyo. #urbanexplorer #forest #shrine #japan #tripblazers #hikingtrails

Itsukushima Shrine is a Shinto shrine on Miyajima Island which is near Hiroshima. It is best known for its big floating torii gate . Miyajima can be reached by ferry from Hiroshima or from Miyajimaguchi- which is faster. after getting off at Miyajima guchi train station, simply walk toward the ferry pier. On the weekend there is often a large crowd so following them would likely lead you to the ferry terminal. There are two ferry companies running ferries between Miyajimaguchi and Miyajima; the JR ferry and the Miyajima Matsudai Kisen. Both have large passenger ferries and costs ¥360 round trip for the 10 minutes ride. there are four ferries per hour between 8-6pm, and less frequent schedules in the early and evening hours. After arriving to the island, turn right and walk for 10-15 minutes to reach the shrine. Weekends are particularly busy with tourists so getting there early would help. There are also many deer roaming around so beware of not feeding them with food- they will follow you! It is best to reserve 4-5 hours to leisurely walk around the Shrine and the island. if you have time , a few more hours would be even better to walk further, and enjoy a lunch or tea , or even grilled oysters! #wecreate #japan #shrine #itsukushima #hiroshima

#visittokyo It requires no pitching to make people fall in love with Tokyo - everything is so thoughtful, sophisticated and just captivating!

Japanese architecture just carries so much culture. Even if you don’t know the background behind it, it commands respect. #Japan #Tokyo #GoodFood #Shrine

#wecreate There are several attractions to visit during your trip to Taroko George Hualien and Changchun Shrine (長春祠) is one of the them! It is a historical shrine that is located above a waterfall. While along the way to the shrine, we manage to catch the stunning views of the mountains, listening to the sound of the river flow and enjoying the fresh air~ You need to climb flight of stairs and walk through a tunnel before reaching the shrine. Do be very careful as the path to the shrine is not very even. Address: 972, Taiwan, Hualien County, Xiulin Township, 283-3號 #shrine #taiwantravel #historicalsite

Kotohira shrine in Kagawa prefecture in Shikoku is a shrine dedicated to sailors and seafarers. It is situated at 521 m - halfway to the top of Mount Zozu. The journey starts from the Kotohira town where there is a row of souvenir shops and restaurants, and it will gradually go uphill with a long stretch of stairs. There is a large tori at the entrance of Kotohira- gu, while the two sides stood many stone pillars marking the “millions “ of yen contributed to the shrine over the years. There were many large and small shrines as we walked up the long flight of stairs, and we made our first stop at 477 steps where there were two beautiful white horses that werr 14 and 18 years old. There was also a cafe at 500 steps but it was already closed when we arrived. Our next stop was the Main Shrine at 785 steps. The view of the nearby towns and fields from there was quite spectacular! However as it was closed to 5pm we noticed the workers started to close some of the windows of the shrine. Just as we were about to start uphill again, we were told that the premise gate will close by 6pm, and we should start to go downhill. As much as we wanted to reach the top, we couldn’t make it this time. If you are planning to complete the whole journey uphill, I would recommend to start from 2 or 3 pm latest as there are many interesting things to see and photos to be taken. You would also want to take your time to walk slowly and rest from time to time. There is no admission fee to visit Kotohira gu. #Kotohiragu #Kotohira #shrine ##japan #kagawa #shikoku

Udo Jingu, a shrine inside a cave, was the highlight of my Miyazaki trip. Due to its location in the lower levels of the rocks, there were numerous stairs to navigate along the way. Thankfully, the weather was excellent on the day of my visit, and the seaside scenery was stunning. Initially, I believed that the shrine was the only attraction to see, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover the nearby rock formations. This unexpected find was a great addition to my already enjoyable experience. #Udojingu #japan #miyazaki #shrine #traveljapan #travel #日本 #日本旅行 #日本景點 #宮崎 #鵜戶神宮

The Yutoku Inari Shrine 佑德稻荷神社 is located in Kashima City in Kyushu, Japan. It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from Fukuoka, or about 2 hours by train. It is considered one of the top 3 most important Inari shrines in Japan. The shrine is impressively built against the hillside, and you will need to walk about 100 steps up the staircase to reach the beautiful main hall. An elevator has also been built in recent years, but will cost ¥300 per trip. The view from the top is beautiful and there is a long row of tori in the hillside behind the hall.

#tokyo #Shrine #attraction #toriigate Everyone is aware of these red torii gates, it's a special iconic design here in Ukiha Inari Shrine located at 1513-9 Ukihanmachi Nagrekawa, Ukiha in Japan where the only way to access this Shrine via walking is via a long steps through this torii gates. This may not be one of the many popular place with people therefore making this a photogenic spot on top of a hill down to the valley, but if you are someone who doesn't really like to climb you are also able to drive up by car.

Popular devotions revolve around Lian, town in Batangas which is about 53.8 kms away from Tagaytay City via Tagaytay, Nasugbu Hwy for an hour and a half travel by private car. This devotion is to St. John the Baptis8t which is the patron saint of Lian Church and is declared archdiocesan shrine in 2011. I took this time to visit to pay respect to the patron and for the first time I see a lot of sculptures depicting the life story of St. John the Baptist from conception to death. No church in the Philippines you can see such depiction of his life story. It is worth visiting for learning, devotion and spiritual replenishment. Come and see the Precursor of the Lord. Spending half day for travel and devotion is enough then exploring Matabungkay Beach in Lian is a good experience of baptism in the sea with John the Baptizer. The best time also to visit Lian is on every May 18 celebrating Balsa festival (bamboo beach raft festival). #celebratewithtrip#mytripvlog#tripblazers#awesomepic#shrine#pilgrimage#religious tourism

One of the "must visit" places if you travel to Osaka is Kyoto city. I'm amazed with all the traditional architecture, shrines and temples. There are visitors dressed in kimonos. You can rent the clothing when you arrive in Kyoto. There are shops when you walk along the streets. I bought some cultural shirts (with Japanese words) and souvenirs at an acceptable price. Although it's cold now, I bought an ice-cream cone, with Sake flavor, not very tasty but interesting. When arriving at the shrine, I paid (forgot the exact amount, it's cheap) to buy a wooden plaque for making wishes. Just write your wish and hang the plaque on the board. #kyoto #osaka #shrine

#meetbangkok Chinatown is the most popular of Bangkok's alive areas that never sleep. During the day, the streets and alleyways are filled with a vibrant mix of colours, smells and flavors from roadside restaurants and all-day markets. During the day, you can escape from the crowded road and discover hidden temples, kind locals and daily life in its purest form. While we were escaping from the crowd of this neighborhood, we came across the Kuan Yim Shrine and street pictures that represent chinese culture. #chinatown #bangkok #bangkoktravel #thailand #thailandtravel #temple #shrine #culturewalk
