Hasedera Temple

Hase-dera is also nicknamed a flower 's temple, so it came to be called so because flowers do not go through throughout the year like cherry blossoms, peony, hydrangeas, autumn leaves in autumn. As I go through the mountain gate, I climb a long corridor called Erawing, and in Nara I can visit the main hall (Kannondo) next to Todaiji Temple. There will be a big Kannon exceeding 10 meters. The view from the outside stage where the three sides are surrounded by mountains is a word of great view.

Omiwa Shrine

Reviewed By kimitakas - Taichung, Taiwan

Omiwa Shrine is the oldest Shinto shrine in Japan. Its wide precinct is filled with a majestic atmosphere. There is a hall of reverence, but there is no tangible body of god. Mt. Miwa, behind this shrine, is the god of Omiwa Shrine. This place is therefore the origin of animism and Japanese Shinto. It is absolutely worth visiting this holy place. There are many subsidiary shrines that you should visit.
