[Gunma Prefecture/Myogi Shrine] I'm glad I went in 2023! Shrines in Gunma Prefecture ②

The second shrine on my trip to Kusatsu Onsen♨️. This is my second visit since 2020❣️ Going through the torii⛩, you will see a large weeping cherry tree❣️ I'm glad I came during the cherry blossom season🌸, so I took some photos on the approach🤳 Even after passing through the main gate, I was so excited to see the beautiful cherry blossoms🌸🤣 The main gate is 12m tall and bright vermilion, and the main building is so dazzling. Everything is worth seeing✨ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❥❥History Myogi Shrine is located at the eastern foot of Mt. Hakuun. Founded in the second year of Emperor Senka (537). Myogi-san, which was called Hakoso-yama in ancient times, was where Hakoso-okami was enshrined at Hakoso-jinja Shrine, but later changed to Myogi. The main shrine is gorgeous and was designed by a sculptor who was involved in the construction of Nikko Toshogu Shrine. The weeping cherry tree on the approach to the shrine is 200 years old and is a stunning beauty. There are over 20 cherry trees within the grounds, and the area is bustling with visitors in spring. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Myogi Shrine ꕥAddress: Myogi 6, Myogi-cho, Tomioka-shi, Gunma ꕥAccess 🚗 15 minutes from Matsuida-Myogi IC on the Joshinetsu Expressway 🚗 25 minutes from Shimonita IC 🚕 25 minutes from Shimonita Station ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #besttrip2023 #Gunma Tourism #Gunma Trip #Shrines and Temples #Shrine Tour
