Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine
A shrine with a long history, founded in 1627 by a divine revelation. It is the largest Hachiman shrine in the Edo period and is still popularly known as the "Hachiman Shrine of Fukagawa”. There are 17 branch shrines in the precincts of the shrine, which are said to be beneficial for money luck, luck in winning games, and marriage.
I was lucky enough to witness a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony at Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine. It made me feel so happy for the newlyweds! 💖
Mt. Fuji
At a staggering 3,776 meters tall, Mt. Fuji is Japan’s tallest mountain and the pride of its two homes, Yamanashi and Shizuoka Prefectures. This famous peak is an iconic symbol of Japan.
Mt. Fuji is truly impressive, especially in winter when the peak is covered in snow. That's when it's at its most beautiful.
