Togakushi Shrine in Nagano let me truly experience the magic of a spiritual power spot in Japan.
In mid-April 2023, it was still bright and sunny at the base of the mountain, but when I took the bus to the entrance of the approach, it started drizzling. As soon as I passed through the torii gate, it suddenly began snowing heavily.
As I walked alone toward the Okusha, surrounded by a world of pure white snow, I was deeply moved. I felt I had witnessed the mystical and sacred presence of nature and the gods here.
Snow in April, in this world of ours ❤️
