[Breathtaking view] The vermilion tower gate and beautiful cherry blossoms 🌸 Omi Shrine, the sacred place of karuta ⛩

This is the third draft of the cherry blossom post Omi Shrine in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture ✨️ This shrine is dedicated to karuta and clocks, and was featured in the popular girls' manga "Chihayafuru," which was also made into a movie ☺️ The cherry blossoms are in full bloom from late March to early April, and they match the vermilion tower gate, making it very beautiful ❤️ Recommended points----------------------------- ✅ Kimono rentals are available, so it's perfect for a girls' trip! The combination of cherry blossoms and kimonos is very good, so I recommend it 👘🌸✅ It enshrines Emperor Tenchi, who made the first clock (water clock) in Japan, and in the precincts you can see fire clocks, sundials, and water clocks donated by ROLEX! ✅ Emperor Tenchi is also known as the ancestor of singing karuta, and Omi Shrine is also a sacred place for karuta! ✅ A pilgrimage to the sacred place of the movie Chihayafuru 🎬✅ The vermilion tower gate is simply beautiful 📸✅ You can experience wearing a hakama or 12-layered kimono for 1,000 yen 👘✅ It's easy to go alone! Important points----------------------------⚠️You need to make a reservation in advance to wear a kimono!!! (I found out about it after I went, so I couldn't experience it...I wanted to do it!)⚠️There are quite a few stairs. There are also many gravel areas, so it's best to avoid wearing high heels that you don't want to hurt yourself👠￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣📍Omi Jingu🗺Address: 1-1 Jingu-cho, Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture 🚗Access: 9 minutes walk from Omi Jingu-mae Station⏰Opening hours: 6:00-18:00💰Cost: Free / Clock Museum and Treasure Museum are charged 300 yen for adults #sakura2024 #sakura2024 #cherryblossomview #cherryblossomconquest #omihachiman #shigatourism #shrinestamp
