Most Beautiful Shrines & Temples In Kanto Region

What a Nice Collaboration of the Two! The Sunrise over the Shrine Gate 'Kamiiso Shrine Gate'

The Kamiiso Shrine is famous as a spiritual place. Because it is on seashore and face to due east, the sunrise view looks mystic and attracts visitors. But it is dependent upon the weather.

Senbon Torii & 100 Kinds, 3000 Trees Of Azalea At Nezu Shrine

Nezu Shrine is celebrated as a spiritual power spot in Tokyo, and 6612 square meters Azalea Garden has been its best. The scenery of Senbon Torii (one thousand torii gates standing in a line) located at the both sides of Otome Inari Shrine in the precinct is one of the best things to see here. Azalea Festival is holding till May 6th.◎Opening hours: 9:00-17:30. Entrance fee: 200yen. Access: 5 min walk from Sendagi Station 1st Gate. I entered from North Torii Gate, and went through Senbon Torii, and arrived Azalea Garden. When I left the shrine, Senbon Torii was crowded with many people. As you expect, the early morning is better. Please check HP to find other ways to visit Azalea Garden. You can look the blooming conditions by live camera. I think it's good for you to visit sooner.

Very Thrilling 'Looking Into Hell' And 'Hyaku-shaku Kannon' Craved Out From A Stone

The whole of Mt.Nokogiri is the precincts of Nihon-ji Temple. You can enjoy the superb view such as a sweeping view of Boso Peninsula from 'Jigoku-nozoki (looking into hell)' and 'Hyaku-shaku Kannon' Statue craved out at the former stone quarry. I like the solemn atmosphere of mossy approach to the temple.
