Niche Travel|Sakura season enters the little-known "Flower Card Love" framing the Omi Jingu Shrine. Omi Jingu Shrine is not only the location of the flower card love, but also the location of Conan's "Tang Hong's Love Song". Located in Otsu City, it is very close to Kyoto, more than half an hour's drive, and even the cherry blossom season is rare. Transportation: Take the Keihan Electric Railways Ishiyama-Sakamota and get off at Omi-jingu-mae, about 9 minutes on foot. About the knowledge of the shrine: It is mainly dedicated to the 38th Emperor of Japan, and is regarded as the guiding, good luck, industrial, cultural and academic god of Tenchi. But in "Flower Love", here is a flower card (a Japanese card game) to advance to the wishing place, often seeing the wish to come here, to promote the flower card The wish is written on the wishing card. Photographs Tips: 1 The red crimson and long ladder at the main entrance of the Shrine are the landmark spots. If it is the cherry blossom season like me, Use the cherry blossoms in front of the gate to make a foreground. 2 The big bird house in the Omi Jingu Shrine is so beautiful. You can take a bird's eye on the front of the palace stairs and take a picture of the entire back of the palace. To avoid too much floor steps, you can bring a little palace. Roof 3 In the case of not obstructing the worshippers, you can take pictures of the blessing of the gods.

#aprilblooms For 5 years from 667, Omi Shrine is located on the site of Omi Otsu Shrine, the capital of Japan. As Prince Nakaoe, he was involved in the reform of Taika and enshrined the 38th Emperor Tenchi, who moved his capital from Asuka in Nara to Otsu in Omi, to the enshrined deity. It is one of the 16 imperial festivals in the country, and the imperial envoy, the representative of His Majesty the Emperor, is sent from the palace to the annual festival on April 20. It was founded in 1940 (Showa 15) and has a short history as a shrine. However, since the relocation of the capital of Otsunomiya led to the development of Omi Province, there has been a strong respect for Emperor Tenchi since ancient times, and during the Meiji period, the movement to create a shrine to enshrine Emperor Tenchi increased among the people of Shiga Prefecture, and in the Showa period, he received the emperor's imperial permission. It was founded with the praise of the people of Shiga Prefecture and other admirers from all over the country. It can be said that it is a venerable shrine that complies with a history of more than 1350 years since the transfer of the capital.

I went to Omi Shrine, which is also known as the setting for the anime "Chihayafuru." Omi Shrine is a shrine dedicated to Emperor Tenchi, famous for the Taika Reforms. After climbing the stairs, you can see the vermilion tower gate. The beautiful vermilion color stands out against the sky. Be sure to take a photo! At Omi Shrine, you can draw fortune slips with famous scenes from the manga "Chihayafuru" on them! I drew one too! The fortune slips are also in the form of karuta cards, making them very memorable. It would be fun to draw them with friends! It's a 5-minute walk from Omi-Jingu-mae Station on the Keihan Ishiyama Sakamoto Line! It's very accessible! #Shiga #ShigaTrip #OmiShingu #HongKongFreeAirTicket
