You can climb a mountain path to the second and third plazas, so you can enjoy a light mountain climbing experience. ⛰️ The day I visited was sunny, and I couldn't help but take a deep breath at the expanse of sea and sky visible from the observation deck. In the evening, the spectacular view of the sun sinking into the sea was like a scene from a movie. 🌇 It's a hidden spot with few people, where you can spend luxurious time quietly facing nature.

#Osaka Attractions The view from the top of Mt. Himekoshi is magnificent. After passing through the dense forest, a wide window-like scene suddenly appears in front of you - a beautiful mountain landscape. In the distance, the continuous peaks are undulating like waves, lush and green, and in the near distance, there is a blue sky and white clouds. Being in it is like being in an exquisite landscape painting. In addition to the wide view, the top of Mt. Himekoshi also has beautiful alpine vegetation. The endless rhododendrons, short shrubs and other plants grow luxuriantly on the top of the mountain, dotted in between, adding a vibrant atmosphere. Visitors can wander here quietly and feel the tranquil charm of nature. The top of Mt. Himekoshi combines natural beauty and alpine scenery, giving visitors an extraordinary experience of being in a fairyland. This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and moving alpine resorts in Japan.

Takihara Shrine Ise Shrine is famous for Amaterasu Omikami, but there is also Takihara Shrine in Taiki Town, Mie Prefecture, as a branch shrine. Both Takihara Shrine and Takihara-nami Shrine enshrine the spirit of Amaterasu Omikami, and they have been revered as "remote shrines" since ancient times. Takihara Shrine has two branch shrines side by side, and has many differences from other branch shrines, such as having a boat storehouse. The approach to the shrine is surrounded by cedar trees over several hundred years old within the sacred grounds, and the washroom that uses the flow of valley water is reminiscent of the Inner Shrine, and takes you back to the Age of the Gods. It is common to visit Takihara Shrine first, then Takihara-nami Shrine. When you go through the entrance gate, you feel as if you are being sucked into a green tunnel. Right next to Takihara Shrine, there is a cedar-lined approach lined with large cedar trees that look to be over 100 years old. You can drive through it, but in the summer, the air is very quiet and cold, so it feels different, and just taking a deep breath feels like you are being cleansed from the inside. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who feels stressed out by everyday life. Address: 872 Takihara, Taiki-cho, Watarai-gun A little further away from Takihara Shrine and into the countryside, you will find Konpeito, a small old-style cafe. You can enjoy madeleines, cookies, coffee, and tea. The old-style house also has a lovely, tasteful atmosphere. Address: 1029-1 Takihara, Taiki-cho, Watarai-gun, Mie Prefecture #Pilgrimage #Exploring History #Traveling in Mie #Shrine #Amaterasu Omikami #Power Spot
