A stunning shrine

An amazing shrine (jinja) I definitely recommend visiting it. The air was fresh and the shrine was absolutely beautiful. As I walked further, I found a magnificent tree with ropes wrapped around it. This tree resembles a cedar tree and is over 1,000 years old. It has been designated as a national natural monument. It is said to have been planted by Taira Shigemori of the Taira clan at the end of the Heian period. I recommend going in autumn.

A place in Japan that few Hong Kong people know about

Kamikura Shrine

Staying in Shingu for a day post Kumano Kodo trek. Walked to the Kamikura Shrine precinct and enjoyed the serene greenness of the area. The first run of stairs leading up the hillside to this shrine is the steepest and most daunting, but the views over the city are totally worth the 500+ stair climb to this pretty little shrine. Just take it slow and easy and you'll reach your reward. There's a windy dirt trail that bypasses these steep stairs and leads from a flat rest point at the midpoint of the climb down to the bottom. It looks to some folks like it might be easier to take than the stairs, but I think the many tree roots on this path actually make it more dangerous, particularly if there's been rain and the soil is slick. Our legs went straight to muscle memory and enjoyed climbing up the steep steps. Spectacular views across Shingu to the sea. A very enjoyable experience. #givethanks #givethanks
