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

A seasonal feature of summer: the Enshu Sanzan Wind Chime Festival Among them are the wind chimes and Teru Teru Bozu at "Hotasan Son'eiji Temple", the umbrella sky, the chozuya (purification fountain), and many other photogenic spots, making it a very interesting place. ★A brightly colored Teru Teru Bozu in front of the Niomon Gate This Niomon Gate is a nationally designated important cultural property. It is said that the world changes when you pass through the gate. ★It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the Niomon Gate to the main hall. The rows of cedar trees and green maples are wonderful, and the autumn leaves are a spectacular sight. ★In the summer at Hotasan, wind chimes are displayed all over the corridors and the Tsubasa Hall and the pleasant sounds are soothing. In the main hall, "wishing wind chimes" are displayed, where you can write your wishes on wooden strips of paper. ★The inside of the east wing to the right of the main hall is surrounded by a blackout curtain, and is lit up with transparent wind chimes. ★When you face the main hall, the right side of the hall is the Shosondo (House of Deities), and there are many colorful wind chimes hanging like beads. The polka dots and pastel colors are so cute. ★The hall that was the former main hall. Although faded, the compass of the 12 Zodiac guardian deities is displayed on the ceiling inside the hall, and is impressive. ★The flower water fountain also has colorful flowers enshrined there. ★The Takoyakushido Hall is said to be particularly effective in improving skin and healing skin diseases and skin problems, and there is a tunnel of colorful wind chimes in front of it. ★In addition to the wind chimes, the hydrangea spot is also popular. There are about 3,000 hydrangeas planted in the temple grounds, and they are in full bloom in early June. 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

#0 yen trip About the temples and teahouse shaved ice at Hotasan in Shizuoka Hottasan, located in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture, is officially called "Hottasan Son'ei-ji" and is a historic temple known for its warding off evil spirits. Founded in the Nara period, it is crowded with people who come to pray for protection from evil spirits and for good health. In particular, the Thousand-Armed Kannon Bodhisattva enshrined in the main hall is revered by many worshippers. The temple grounds are vast, and you can enjoy the nature of the four seasons, making it a quiet and soothing place. One of the attractions of Hotasan is the shaved ice served at the teahouse on the grounds. This shaved ice, perfect for a hot summer day, is characterized by its fluffy ice and homemade syrup.

There are also syrups made with local specialties, and seasonal flavors are also available. After worship, taking a break with this delicious shaved ice is a truly blissful moment for all visitors.

Hattasan Son-ei-ji Temple is one of the three ancient temples of Enshu. It is the residence of the god of mercy who helps exorcise demons. It is also a popular place to see cherry blossoms because the temple is surrounded by cherry trees. I think it will be very beautiful when the cherry blossom season comes. This temple is quite spacious and quiet. The air is quite cool and comfortable. You can walk around the temple and enjoy it. There is a shop selling red bean mochi and hot green tea 🍵 which is very delicious. There is also a restaurant, which is a type of Japanese cultural food. It tastes good and delicious. ❤️ #TravelAbroad #TravelJapan
