Located by lake Towada right in the center of Aomori prefecture, this Shinto shrine is recognized as a holy place in Aomori. Built according to the authorities in 807, Towada Shrine was previously famous as being dedicated to the god of water, Azure Dragon, known as Seiryu in Japanese. However, today, the shrine now honors Yamato Takeru who was a legendary Japanese prince in the Yamato dynasty and the son of Emperor Keiko. What makes Towada Shrine so special, besides its vibrant history, is by far its amazing forest path known as "Suginami", a shortened version of the word from the Edo period “Suginamiki”, which can be translated as "avenue of Cedars". Français Situé aux abords du lac Towada, en plein centre de la préfecture d’Aomori, le sanctuaire Shinto est reconnu comme lieu sacré à Aomori. Construit en 807 d’après les autorités, le sanctuaire de Towada était dans un premier temps réputé pour être dédié au dieu de l’eau, le Dragon Azur, connu comme Seiryu en japonais. De nos jours cependant, le sanctuaire honore désormais Yamato Takeru qui était un prince japonais légendaire de la dynastie Yamato, et qui était le fils de l’empereur Keiko. Ce qui rend le sanctuaire Towada si spécial, hormis la richesse de son histoire, est de loin son magnifique sentier forestier surnommé “Suginami”, une version courte du nom datant de la période Edo “Suginamiki”, qui peut être traduit par “Avenue des cèdres”.

Kyu-Chikurin-In is a former temple located near the prefectural city of Otsu in Shiga prefecture. It’s located just a few minutes away from Kyoto Station. While no longer a temple, the place has been turned into a "Satobo" or retirement house for the priest of Enryaku-Ji temple which is located on top of Mt. Hiei and overlooking Kyu-Chikurin-In. While Kyu-Chikurin-In is a beautiful and classic Japanese house, it is its small garden and many tea ceremony houses that make the place so popular among local tourists. #4K #Japan #Travel To Subscribe to this Channel, click here!! : http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=tokyostreetview For any questions, inquiries or if you are looking to acquire some of our clips, please contact us here: info@tokyostreetview.com Love this video?
