We previously introduced Hotasan Son'eiji Temple for its wind chime festival and hydrangeas, but during the rainy season, you can enjoy a cute tunnel of Teru Teru Bouzu 🤍 When I visited in 2022, there were colorful Teru Teru Bouzu like the one in the photo. I didn't have a good photo, but when I visited in 2023, the blue gradient created a different atmosphere! ! 1,200 Teru Teru Bouzu are displayed in front of the gate at the entrance to Hotasan Son'eiji Temple, so you can enjoy visiting the temple even during the gloomy rainy season, so we recommend it. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of gradient Teru Teru Bouzu tunnel I'll see next year 😚 The atmosphere of the temple grounds is lovely and full of greenery, so please take a look around. ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Hotasan Soneiji Temple, Fukuroi City 📸: EOS 5D Mark4, iPhone 13 Pro ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ #DomesticTravelRecord #Shizuoka #ShizuokaTourism #ShizuokaTrip #FukuroiCity #Fukuroi #HotasanSoneijiTemple #Hotasan #RainySeason

Last time, we introduced the summer wind chime festival at Hotasan Son'eiji Temple. Not only in the summer, but also during the rainy season, the hydrangea and umbrella displays are a wonderful place🤍 The best time to see them is from mid to late June, when the beautiful, colorful hydrangeas bloom in blue, purple, and pink. They start blooming around late May, so it might be a good idea to go see them before the rainy season really starts! There are apparently about 3,000 hydrangeas🫢 There are also cute umbrellas☂️ displayed around the hydrangeas, which make for great photos📸 This is a recommended place for a girls' weekend trip! Be sure to visit during the rainy season this year. ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Hotasan Soneiji Temple, Fukuroi City 📸: EOS 5D Mark4, iPhone 13 Pro ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ #DomesticTravelRecord #Shizuoka #ShizuokaTourism #ShizuokaTrip #FukuroiCity #Fukuroi #HotasanSoneijiTemple #Hotasan

It's been getting pretty cold lately, so here's a post about the long-awaited summer 😆 Hotasan Son'eiji Temple in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture. In the summer, the temple is decorated with wind chimes, a seasonal feature of summer 🎐 Colorful wind chimes with various designs welcome worshippers, and their wonderful sounds reverberate throughout the temple 🤍 There are apparently 4,000 of them 🫢 My personal recommendation is the wind chime lighting up. The shining wind chimes were just so beautiful!! Even in the middle of summer, hearing the sound of wind chimes makes you feel a little cooler! The wind chime festival is held for a long period from the end of May to early September every year, so be sure to go this summer. ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Hotasan Soneiji Temple, Fukuroi City 📸: EOS 5D Mark4, iPhone 13 Pro ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ #Domestic travel record #Shizuoka #Shizuoka sightseeing #Shizuoka trip #Fukuroi City #Fukuroi #Hotasan Soneiji Temple #Hotasan

If you're traveling on a slow train, such as on a Seishun 18 Ticket trip, wouldn't you like to cut down on accommodation costs? As an example, I'd like to show you accommodation in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture. First of all, the closer you are to the downtown area or city center, the higher the price, or the more popular it is and the more likely it is to be fully booked. In contrast, Aino Station has a large stadium and is a popular spot when there are events, but it's also a good place to visit in the off-season. However, if you use it incorrectly, you'll end up with nothing to do and you'll be on your smartphone all the time at the hotel, so it's best to schedule a late arrival at your accommodation and only stay overnight after you've had enough fun at the tourist spots. I like discovering new towns like this and want to explore the area, so I try to get off with plenty of time to spare. It's also fun to go into a local izakaya if there is one. #Value for money hotel #Cosmo Inn #Shizuoka Hotel #0 yen travel autumn ──────────────────── Store name: Cosmo Inn Address: 1-1-6 Ainominami 1-chome, Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture Price: 6,300 yen (breakfast included) ────────────────────

"Enshu Sanzan Wind Chime Festival - Kasuisai" On the "Wind Chime Path" from the temple gate to the main hall, there are about 2,000 Edo wind chimes.🎐 When the wind blows, the colorful strips of paper fly around and around, making you feel cool as they rattle.🍧Edo wind chimes are handmade one by one, so even if they have the same shape and pattern, they all have different sounds.🎐 Wind chimes are displayed with the hope that "you will find good fortune in life."🎐It was believed that strong winds could bring epidemics and evil gods, so when a strong wind blows, they clang dully. The wind chimes, which make a loud noise, were worn to ward off evil spirits 🎐 It is said that no disasters will occur within the range where the sound of the wind chimes can be heard 😊😊😊 [Akiba Sohonden Kasuisai] 2915-1 Kuno, Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture, 437-0061 Event period: May 25th (Sat) to September 1st (Sun), 2024 Viewing the Red Fuji Wind Chimes: 700 yen Minazuki Zenzai and Cold Tea: 100 yen (Limited to 100 servings, July 6th (Sat) to September 1st (Sun) Drawing Wind Chimes: 500 yen (Cost of wind chimes and art supplies included) #SummerEvents #ShizuokaTourism #Shizuoka #Trip #Wind Chimes

At Hydrangea Square, where blue hydrangeas bloom, umbrellas are lined up in a row, making it a photogenic spot that often appears on social media. There are also umbrellas with hydrangeas painted on them in the foreground, so you can take some great shots with them. ★Kanzeon's specialty rice dumplings were given the name "Kushi-dango" by the Shogun family as a souvenir for those climbing the castle, and since then they have been loved by general visitors for over 150 years and are well-known as the specialty of Hotaisan, "evil-warding rice dumplings." The ticket machine sold two skewers of rice dumplings for 200 yen. The bite-sized skewers were smothered in a generous amount of lightly sweet bean paste, and were delicious. An umbrella sky was set up in front of the shop. Business hours: 8:00-17:00 ★Hotasan's parking lot🅿️ is located just before the approach to the shrine, and the parking fee is a reasonable 100 yen. ★There are souvenir shops and restaurants in front of the gate. Cold green tea soba noodles with grated yam My friend ordered "Cold soba noodles for protection from evil" with a rice dumpling It was topped with a generous amount of grated yam, and it gave me energy. ★Yukata rentals are also available, and there was a small photo spot. #domestictrip #Shizuoka #photogenicspot #summer #windchimes #tourism

The shaved ice at the cafe at Soneiji Temple in Hotasan, Shizuoka Prefecture, was delicious. Even in the hot summer, you can feel the negative ions at Hotasan, so you can cool down and visit the temple. The shaved ice at the cafe on the way back was very good. Usually it's a set of dumplings, but in the summer they put dumplings in the shaved ice, so I got two delicious meals at once. The shaved ice starts at a set time, and I arrived 30 minutes before that time, but there were already a few people waiting. I waited inside, and I lined up 15 minutes before and was able to eat right away. #Shizuoka #Hotasan
