the beautiful bridge and its' reflection

This is a Shinto temple, I came here early in the morning of the 1st, threw money and made prayers for the new year. More than 200 shops open around the temple to serve tourists and Japanese people who go to the temple at the beginning of the year. The number of people coming to the temple is very large, I went early in the morning at 8am so it was less crowded than around noon. There are quite a few details easily missed like the huge trees enshrined, fox statues, dragon wells, emblems. There are many shrines within the compound facing different directions so it's gonna be good no matter where the sunshine is facing for photos. This sacred tree, believed to have protective and purifying powers, serves as a focal point for worship and reverence. Its significance adds a layer of mystique and spirituality to the experience of exploring Sumiyoshi Taisha #localguides #familytrip #瑞生尖沙咀酒店 #trip #instatravel #goodfoods #langkawi #falltrip #falltrip#mytravelhacks#freehotelstay#historicallandmarks#localguides#familytrip#瑞生尖沙咀酒店#trip#instatravel#goodfoods#langkawi
