🇯🇵 [Nagano Prefecture] The blessing of happiness! Zenkoji Temple (^^)!

🇯🇵 [Nagano Prefecture] Blessings of happiness! Zenkoji Temple (^^)! A large temple consisting of Daikanjin, Daihongan and 39 lodgings on a grounds of about 59,000 square meters (^^) It is known nationwide for the "pilgrimage to Zenkoji Temple pulled by a cow", and an amazing 6 million worshippers visit it every year! About 1,400 years since its founding, it has been deeply revered by powerful people of the time such as Minamoto no Yoritomo, Takeda Shingen, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and in the Edo period, the number of common people visiting has also increased! The pilgrimage to the Kaidan, which is an essential part of a pilgrimage to Zenkoji Temple, involves groping your way through the pitch black corridors under the floor of the main hall, touching the lock of paradise under the principal image, and forming a connection with the principal image (^^) #0 yen trip
