They carry a good range of items, from clothing to small accessories.

It was super crowded during summer vacation. I skipped a lot of animal areas because there were just too many people.

When you think of Asakusa, you think of the big lantern at Kaminarimon. The Wind and Thunder Gods guard Sensoji Temple on both sides. After passing through the huge lantern, you reach a bustling shopping street packed with people.

Magome Inn

“Nakasendo” is one of the five highways that were constructed during the Edo period to connect Kyoto and Edo. Magome Inn is the 43rd post town on the Nakasendo. It is an inn town along a slope paved with stone pavement, and you can feel the atmosphere of the Edo period. Both sides of the road are lined with stores selling freshly baked gohei-mochi (rice cakes), oyaki (wheat cakes), etc., where you can enjoy eating and strolling.

This mountain isn't very high, but it's really windy and cold at the top after taking the cable car up.
The view is wide open—you can see the ocean, and there's even a golf course nearby.

I couldn't quite figure out the proper way to pray at Izumo Taisha. I noticed the locals did it differently, which made me a bit flustered. But I believe sincerity matters most—I'm sure the gods won't be upset with me. 😅
