Atsuta Jingu is a very famous shrine in Nagoya, with a long history and rich cultural atmosphere. 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. The shrine enshrines the Kusanagi sword, one of the three major artifacts of Japan, so it has important religious significance. 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.

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

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.

When I woke up early in the morning, the bright sunshine shone through the glass onto the bed sheets, making the whole room warm. My mood instantly became very good. The breeze blew the fragrance of golden osmanthus to every corner of the yard. Such good weather is particularly suitable for anything☺️. This street park is really nice.
