#Spring0yentrip "I took a leisurely trip through downtown Tokyo on the Toden Arakawa Line. The retro carriages and the scenery running close to residential areas are somehow nostalgic and make for great photos. Along the line, there are spots where you can take a leisurely stroll, such as Sugamo Jizo-dori and Kishimojin-mae. It's also recommended to get off the train occasionally and stop by shopping streets and parks while being rocked by the slowly moving train. It's amazing that you can take a trip like this in Tokyo! Access and Tips The Toden Arakawa Line runs between Minowabashi and Waseda. If you buy a one-day pass (400 yen), you can get on and off as many times as you like. It's best to leave while the morning light is beautiful.

🇯🇵 #VictoriaChihinJapan 📍 Ikebukuro-Zosigaya It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. We came to Ikebukuro because we wanted to change to a cheaper accommodation. After checking out, we wanted to have a meal at Harbs before leaving. Before the store opened, Zhi immediately searched for nearby attractions. In the end, she and Zi chose Kishimojindo Temple. Zoshigaya is a place full of nostalgia where you can unexpectedly experience local Japanese life. On the way, I unexpectedly came across Blue Bottle and drank a limited drink. I also passed by the Zoshigaya Cemetery where many celebrities are buried and took a few down-to-earth photos at the torii gate beside the path. 📷 Arriving at the temple, I also encountered the Shichi-Go-San Festival culture that I learned before 🇯🇵 Everything is fine. It's time to go out and see the world. #Zosiya #Kishimojin #Kishimojindo #JapanTravel #TokyoTourism #TokyoTourism #JapanTravel #Ikebukuro #japantravel#travelblogger#fashionblogger#japantrip#streetshootjapan#streetphotography#fashionable#bluebottlecoffee#coffeeholic#tokyotravel#outfit#雑感#ストリート写真#雑司が谷朊园#じんじゃ#とりい

We arrived at our first stop, Kishimojin-mae Station. As soon as we got off the train, we saw a special railway view, which is rare in Tokyo. Next to it is the Torii Gate. After entering the Torii Gate, the street is so quiet, so retro, and so rural. The small torii has Kishimojin written on it Walk to the end and turn left to arrive at Kishimo Shrine Kishimojin is a shrine that protects pregnant women and children. It is said to be very effective. Legend has it that Guizimu was originally a hungry ghost. In order to feed her own five hundred children, she killed other people's babies as food. Later, the Buddha hid her child and asked her to empathize with him, which inspired her. This legend makes the Kishimo Shrine more interesting. The most distinctive feature here is the full orange-red torii Now the place I really want to go in Japan is the Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto. I haven't been to the Thousand Torii yet, so I just have to come here to have fun.
