There are many Inari shrines in Japan. This Inari shrine is located in Inuyama Castle. It is very convenient to get to Inuyama Castle directly from Nagoya Station. It is a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms. The red torii gate is very eye-catching.

There are so many temples in Japan | I just picked a beautiful one to check in haha There are so many temples in Japan, but checking in at every one would be tiresome and I wouldn't be able to run around. So I just picked a beautiful one that's free 🆓 to see 😆~ The classic red color is indeed beautiful 🤩. I was lucky enough to see a flock of pigeons 🕊️ flying around, it was a spectacular sight! The pigeons here 🐦 aren't afraid of people, just like the deer in Nara 🦌! Prayers and fortune-telling at the temple are just like in China. What matters is peace of mind and sincerity... ⛩️Osu Kannon (Hosho-in Temple) 🈺6-17pm 🚇Subway, Osu Kannon Station, Exit 2

Yes, it gets extremely crowded (especially weekends, holidays, and peak midday hours), but that energy is part of its charm for many. Go early or late and the experience becomes almost serene.

Chose to visit the Mount Fuji Instagram-famous spots on Trip.com's recommendation, and I couldn't have asked for a more relaxing and enjoyable experience. The itinerary included memorable locations such as Arakurayama Sengen Park, Hikawa Clock Shop, Oshino Hakkai, Kawaguchiko Lawson, and Lake Kawaguchi Oishi Park—each offering its own breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji. Our tour guide (Hikari) truly made the trip special: not only was he friendly, but he was also impressively patient throughout the day, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had enough time to enjoy each spot. The pace of the tour was just right, allowing for leisurely sightseeing and ample opportunities for taking photos—perfect for capturing those Instagram-worthy moments!If you're considering this day trip, I recommend bringing your camera and a light jacket, as weather around Mt. Fuji can change. The service from Trip.com was smooth and easy, making the whole experience stress-free.

It has a glass-roofed "Water Spaceship" where you can walk 14 meters in the air, an above-ground park "Green Land" with a vast lawn, a semi-underground "Bus Terminal", and "Galaxy Plaza" where various events are held underground. A three-dimensional park with 30 various shops. The spaceship that lights up the water at night is very photogenic, and it is also a popular photo spot.

The entire shrine is located in a dense forest, and walking through it feels like being in the tranquility of nature. The main hall is solemn and majestic, and many tourists and locals come to worship and pray, especially during the New Year or important festivals.

There are also beautiful ponds, torii and ancient trees in the courtyard, which are very suitable for taking pictures. This is a great place to experience Japan's traditional culture and beautiful nature, and it is worth savoring.
