Cherry blossoms, scenery, culture Chichibu Shrine near Tokyo
#Japan Attractions
Chichibu Shrine is located in the suburbs of Tokyo. You can buy a one-day ticket for Seibu Railway for ¥1,000 to visit the railway attractions. Chichibu Station is the last stop. It only takes 80 minutes from Ikebukuro. It is very convenient.
When you come to Chichibu, you must visit Chichibu Shrine. I saw a cherry tree in bloom inside the shrine. It turned out that the pink beauty can be found everywhere during the cherry blossom season. There is also a century-old giant tree in the shrine, which should be a tree spirit. A girl in kimono attracted many people to take pictures. It is indeed a very Japanese-style picture.
The shrine enshrines the "Three Monkeys of Genki". Confucius said, "Do not look at what is inappropriate, do not listen to what is inappropriate, and do not say what is inappropriate". Japanese culture is also famous for the three monkeys of "Do not look, do not listen, and do not say". The three monkeys we saw this time are encouraging people to look more, listen more, and speak more in modern society, so as to have better development. What a good cultural implication🤗
In addition, Chichibu Shrine was rebuilt by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Because he worshipped tigers, tiger statues were carved around the shrine, and 🐯 was used to symbolize the parent-child relationship. "When a baby is close to the skin of the parents, when a child is close to the hands of the parents, when a teenager is close to the eyes of the parents, and when a young adult is close to the heart of the parents", what a good cultural experience❤🌹
