Kitazawa Fuyusenkojo Remains

Reviewed By NyaNya24 - Melbourne, Australia

Stumbled across this place unexpectedly and was blown away by the site, it was so out of this world. Wish we could get closer to it but still felt pretty unreal. The hotel I stayed also took me there at night when the light show was on and it was so eerie. Would recommend check it out both day and night (if the light show is on) to compare if u are staying close by. There is also a pottery shop close but I ran out of time to visit due to limited bus run.

Fuji Asoyama Daijingu

We Japanese have lived in reverence of nature and honor it as a god since time immemorial. We have lived with the spirit of Keishin-suso,worshipping our ancestors,returning the kindness of our predecessors,and giving thanks for God's grace. Every day we gladly devote ourselves to live with god's intention. Revere God and one's ancestors. Return the kindness of others and be thanksful. This is the traditional way of Japanese living and the spirit of Shinto. Our purpose at the Fuji Asoyama Grand Shrine is to spread these time-honored cultural traditions throughout Japan in order to leave a better Earth for future generations. We pray for everlasting peace for all humanity through the spirit of Shinto and the teachings and secrets of Fuji Shin-Sendo that were left on Mt.Fuji. We are currently erecting the Motomiya shrine primarily with the help of volunteers. Continued support and sponsorship are welcome.

Kaichi Gakko Primary School

Reviewed By PeterthePauper - Ulsan, South Korea

The Former Kaichi School was founded in 1873, Construction was completed in 1876 and it served as a functional school for 90-years until 1963. Having been designated an important cultural asset in 1961, the wooden building was painstakingly dismantled and moved from its' original location in 1963/1964 and rebuilt in its current location. When I learnt that the building had been reconstructed, my first thought was that perhaps the building had been "over-embellished" in the process of restoration, but having seen photographs of the school in its' original location, I can see that this is not the case. In its' original location adjacent to the Metoba River, the equally grandiose building was surrounded by other adjoining buildings in 1963; at least in its' current location the beauty and subtle details of the building can be admired from a proper distance. Having commenced my own elementary school education over 60-years ago in the UK, the period classroom layouts invoked many happy memories!

Historic Relic Sado Gold Mine

Reviewed By Toddjapan

I was told by multiple trusted sources that the Sado Gold Mine was really worth visiting, and I am so glad I did. Inside the mines you can really imagine previous eras, the historical, technical, cultural dynamics. I have seen too many lame experiences around the world, but this one really delivered! I would actually like to go back again and take friends.
