Heirinji Temple in Niiza City, Saitama Prefecture, is a representative Zen temple in the Kanto region with a specialized dojo. Last year, the autumn leaves were a bit iffy, probably because it was too early, but this time, this famous place was bustling with people, and we were able to see some spectacular autumn leaves. The grounds are quite large, so if you take your time, two hours will pass in the blink of an eye. #trip2022 #breathtakingview

Heirinji Temple is one of the famous temples in the Kanto region, and was relocated from its current location in Iwatsuki Ward, Saitama City, in 1663 by Terutsuna, son of Matsudaira Izunokami Nobutsuna, lord of Kawagoe Castle. It has been about 360 years since then. Heirinji Temple is surrounded by lush greenery and is located in a forest within the temple grounds that is a nationally designated natural monument and covers an area of ​​about 43 hectares. Many people visit during the autumn foliage season. Heirinji Temple is a popular spot for viewing autumn foliage, ranking 4th in the nation and 1st in Saitama Prefecture. As you can see in the photo, the autumn leaves are very beautiful. Although it is a spot for viewing autumn foliage, it is also a specialized dojo for Zen training, so please be careful not to disturb the training when you visit.

I'd like to introduce a photogenic shrine that I recently came across. The shrine is Baba Hikawa Shrine. It's located near the Niiza toll gate on the Kan'etsu Expressway⛩️. It's not a very well-known shrine, there's no station, and it's a little further away than a residential area🏘️. But the scenery is completely different‼️ The main hall was decorated with colorful umbrellas☂️, and colorful flowers were placed💐. The flower water basin was also decorated beautifully and cutely, and there were cat🐈 figurines placed here and there. After looking into it, I found out that it's a popular shrine⛩️ for its beautiful and cute goshuin, with cats drawn on them, and on seasonal and event days, goshuin related to them are created, and many limited goshuin are sold. In terms of location, it's inconvenient, so I guess only locals and cat lovers know about it? I felt it was rare to see such attention to detail in creating the goshuin and decorating the grounds so gorgeously‼ ️ It may become even more popular from now on, so why not visit Baba Hikawa Shrine early and enjoy it? [Baba Hikawa Shrine]📍4-10-25 Baba, Niiza City, Saitama Prefecture, 352-0016🚌From Asakadai Station (South Exit) on the Tobu Tojo Line or Hibarigaoka Station (North Exit) on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, take the Seibu bus to the "Niiza High School" bus stop, and walk for 8 minutes🚗About 20 minutes by car from Wako IC #Baba Hikawa Shrine #Power Spot Shrine #Seal #Cat Lover #You'll be missing out if you don't go

There are five floors in total. There are mainly male and female baths, bedrock baths, rest areas, and dining areas. There are a variety of baths and five types of rock baths I also experienced a massage by a Japanese master here. Then I continued to lie in the rest area It's a good place to spend most of the day. General hot spring + bedrock bath is about 1500 yen 🫶🏽Transportation Guide: Take the subway to Ikebukuro Station, transfer to the Seibu Railway Ikebukuro Line to Higashi-Kurume Station, change to a bus at the East Exit and get off at Higashi-Kurume-Dang!

Access: Spa facility in Higashikurume Tourist attractions: Spa Japon, a large facility with natural hot springs and bedrock baths that opened in March 2019. It is about a 7-minute bus ride from Higashikurume Station and just a short walk from the Higashikurume Danchi subway stop, so you can spend a peaceful time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There is also a free shuttle bus from the station, so it is convenient. Spa Japon is equipped with 13 types of baths, including indoor and outdoor baths, and two types of saunas, so you can spend your time relaxing in a very spacious and relaxing environment. The sauna was a full-fledged sauna and felt very good. The bedrock bath is also divided into five areas, with a hot bedrock bath at 50°C and a lower temperature bedrock bath, and the inside is spacious, so you can relax in the bedrock bath at your favorite temperature. There is a tent sauna outside, so I think it is a great facility for sauna lovers. There are also many rest areas, and there are restaurants, manga and magazines, so you can spend the whole day here, making it a recommended facility for couples and families. On weekdays, you can get a bath and a rock sauna set for 1700 yen, which is a great deal as you can use it for several hours. Please give it a try! #CouplesTrip #GirlsTrip #FamilyTrip #SpaTheAmJapon #Higashikurume
