The beautiful scenery I saw when I got off the wrong train on the way to Tadami Line

#Sakura2024 Akabeko, a popular souvenir and amulet from Japan, originated from Enzoji Temple in Fukushima. The word Aka means red and Beko means cow. The Japanese believe that if you carry a red cow, you will be safe from epidemics. 🚗 This temple is quite far from the city. For those who want to go, I recommend renting a car and driving. The view along the way is beautiful and there are many places to stop and visit. ⏰ Open from 8:00-15:45 every day. 🅿️ Parking is quite limited. We drove past the temple and parked at a convenience store with a sign that said parking is allowed. 🎁 The rule of this temple is that taking pictures inside the temple is strictly prohibited. They have an announcement in Thai.

#falltrip Located a short distance away from the Samurai City of Aizuwakamatsu, Yanaizu is a small town boasting the birthplace of a Fukushima Prefecture legend - the Akabeko. Yanaizu also hosts various events throughout the year, including the Yanaizu Naked Man Festival in January where local men dressed in loincloths wrestle each other in order to be the first to climb up a rope into the rafters to ring a gong. Akabeko, literally translated as "red cow," is a legend dating back to the 9th century. A herd of red cows helped with the construction of the temple, and a statue was constructed in its honor. There are slight variations to the legend, but the cow is well known as a symbol of patience, strength and good fortune.
