黃米雪Known as one of Japan's three wonder bridges, the "Shenqiao" in Tochigi Prefecture is located at the entrance of the Nikko Erhuangshan Shrine. It is a bright scarlet appearance and is a key cultural asset of Japan. The bridge is beautifully shaped and colorful, full of Japanese flavor. Legend has it that in the late Nara era, one day, when the monks won the road to reach Erhuang Mountain (Male Mountain) in order to practice, they were blocked by the rapids of Otani River and could not advance, so they prayed for God to bless. At this time, a Buddhist patron appeared and erected a bridge, so that the victory road people smoothly across the bank. The bridge is the origin of the "God Bridge". In 1636, the bridge was painted scarlet. The bridge was washed away by floods in 1902 and rebuilt in 1904.

WLS008I came for the plum festival on March 2023.I think the flowering rate is about 50%.It seems that there are early and late blooming plums, and there were many plums that were still in bud.The entrance fee was 300 yen.Parking is advantageous during the plum festival and costs 500 yen.It was a weekday so it wasn't crowded.

听足音Kawagoku Master Hido Yoshikawa is a large-scale Buddhist monastery located in Kawagoku-Edo Tibetan Li, Saitama Prefecture, near Tokyo, a small town full of traditional Japanese culture. The Xiduoyuan is a temple founded by the master Cijue Yuanren in the Ping An era, and has a deep origin with the Tokugawa family. The Chaoyin Pavilion in the temple displays many historic shipbuilding supplies, some salvaged from the ancient shipwreck, but still preserved well. The weather was sunny and hot when I went, but in this temple that needed to wash my hands and take off the dust and enter, I naturally calmed down and paid tribute to the Buddha. The courtyard of the temple is in accordance with the traditional Japanese aesthetic layout, which reflects the ingenuity in nature. The stone buckets that lead to spring water are carved with monks and texts, which have been washed in the years and blurred, adding a sense of history.
