Winter Serenity at Matsushiro Castle

Visiting Matsushiro Castle in winter is like stepping into a peaceful, snow-draped dream. The castle ruins, dusted in white, exude a quiet elegance that transports you back in time. The moat, partially frozen, mirrors the bare trees standing tall against the crisp winter sky. Walking through the historic stone walls, you can feel the lingering spirit of the samurai who once roamed these grounds. The soft crunch of snow beneath your feet adds to the tranquil atmosphere, making it a perfect place for reflection. Despite the cold, the beauty of Matsushiro Castle in winter is warm and captivating—a hidden gem where history and nature intertwine in perfect harmony. #matsushirocastle #winterwanderlust #samuraiheritage #snowyadventures #travelfreak

[Togakushi, Nagano] A journey through the cedar trees into sacred grounds: A journey to reconcile your soul at Togakushi Shrine Okusha 🌲✨ Togakushi Shrine Okusha, located in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture, is a mystical shrine nestled at the foot of the Togakushi mountain range. Believed to have been founded before Christ, it enshrines Ameno Tajikarao no Mikoto, the god who opened the rock cave in the legend of Ama-no-Iwato. Located at the innermost of the five Togakushi shrines, it truly deserves to be called the "realm of the gods." From the entrance to the approach, the cedar trees stretch for approximately 2km, lined with giant trees over 400 years old, and just walking along them is enough to cleanse the soul. At the midpoint, you'll find the Zuishinmon Gate, and from there, the sacredness of the path increases dramatically. The path to the Okusha is a somewhat steep slope, but the shrine building at the end is truly majestic. The dignified atmosphere permeates the silence, helping you forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 📌 Useful Information Address: 3690 Togakushi, Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture Access: Approximately 1 hour bus ride from JR Nagano Station, then a 40-minute walk from the "Okusha Iriguchi" bus stop. Clothing: Comfortable shoes and warm clothing are essential. Nearby Food: Famous Togakushi soba restaurants, such as Uzuraya and Sobanomi, are dotted around the area. Togakushi Shrine Okusha is also popular as a power spot. Why not take a leisurely stroll through the cedar-lined streets with your spouse and feel the presence of nature and the gods? #TogakushiShrine #Okusha #NaganoTourism #TogakushiSoba #PowerSpot #CoupleTrip #ShinshuTrip #HealingForest #0YenTrip2025Autumn
