Tohoku Japan 日本東北
hangchoi:
The left hand side of the Toshogu has a path leading to Futarasan Jinja 二荒山神社, a jinja for love.
Well, quite a lot of people going there and I found most of the items were related to love, family, husband and wife, lovers, etc.
hangchoi:
See! a temple for love in the middle, with Husband and wife pine tree.
The last one is the formal entrance to Futarasan Jinja

The last stop of our trip with my wife and her friends is Tokyo. We stayed at Ueno. After we dropped our bags, we went to Shibamata 柴又 to meet my sister in law.
Shibamata is an old district which keeps some of the buildings in Edo period. We can walk through the old street, tasted some local food and enjoy some landscape inside Japanese house.
hangchoi:
Two more things to mention. First this is also the place for filming a famous Japanese TV programme 男人真命苦, so it has a museum about this. There is a statue of the main character outside the train station
Second, there is a small old pier which is still operating.
hangchoi:
After that, we went to Kiyosumi-shirakawa 清澄白河 for afternoon tea. This district is a cultural district, quiet and tidy, and the central park of this district is Kiyosumi Teien 清澄庭園.
It is hardly imagined that there is such an oasis in a city. Beautiful. Even the turtles make good use of the pond and sunlight.
