[Hyogo] Did Susanoo-no-Mikoto descend to the summit and spend the night there? The filming location for "The Last Samurai" - experience Zen and copying sutras

"The Last Samurai" is also a famous location for the NHK historical drama "Gunshi Kanbei" (I watched "The Last Samurai" but didn't really understand it), but there's no doubt that it was impressive✨ The color and appearance of the wood had a powerful and sophisticated feel that didn't feel like it had aged. There is a legend that Susanoo-no-Mikoto descended to the summit and stayed there for a night. The first building you see is Maniden, which is built to jut out into the mountains, and is constructed in the same way as Kiyomizu-dera, with long pillars and crosspieces fixed to the cliff and a "stage-style" structure that supports the floor underneath. Before this hall was built, the monk Shoku saw a heavenly being worshiping a cherry tree, and carved a Kannon statue into the trunk of a living tree with roots, which is how it was built. A nice story... 8:30-17:00 (Winter) 8:30-17:00 (Spring-Autumn, extended on Sundays and holidays) Adults: 500 yen donation Others: 1000 yen special donation (500 yen donation, including microbus fee) It is located at an altitude of 371m, but it seems that you can also enter the mountain on foot, but I took the Shosha Ropeway from the foothill station to the mountaintop station. The view was amazing🚡 There is a free parking lot for cars. ■Fee Round trip: Adults... 1,000 yen, Children... 500 yen ※Pets can ride the gondola (only in pet cases, cases available for rental) ⛰️It takes 50 minutes to climb the mountain, so if you're confident, go for it! From Himeji Station, take the bus bound for Shosha Ropeway for about 30 minutes to the last stop. 📍Shoshazan Engyo-ji Temple 2968 Shosha, Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture #Shoshazan Engyo-ji Temple #Engyo-ji Temple #Himeji Spots #Himeji Tourism #Himeji #Himeji Tourism #Himeji Trip #Hyogo Tourism #Hyogo Trip #Last Samurai Filming Location #Hyogo Tourism
