I realized that I've been posting entries related to Buddhist ceremonies. Now it's time to post something about Shinto.
By Chuzenji lake (中禅寺湖) in Nikko city, there is Futaarasan Chugushi shrine (二荒山中宮祠).
Futaarasan Chugushi is a beautiful shrine enshrining three deities, Okuninushi (大国主)/Onamuchi (大己貴命), Tagorihime (田心姫命), and Ajisukutakahikone (味耜高彦根命). It also acts as an entrance gate for the trail to climb Mt. Nantai. The entrance is called Tohaimon Gate (登拝門).
We once challenged Mt. Naitai (男体山) and climbed it in summer. At NIGHT. We posted the entry here to share with you the experience we had during the challenge! We are supposed to try this summer once again!
まだまだ寒そうですね。桜の開花 待ち遠しいですね!!
