Power Spot in Tokyo #1 Imperial Palace

There are places called 'Power Spot' where people feel energy, become comfortable or so on when they visit there. It is also called 'Spiritual Spot' or 'Healing Spot'.
The famous ones in Japan are Mt. Fuji and Ise-Shrine, and in the world wide, there are Machu Picchu, Hawaiian island, etc.

Tokyo has such places as well, the land itself has a power.
So people tend to go there and hang around or even build up shrine or castle.

Roppongi (the street in front of Almond) , Ginza (Miyuki Street), Meiji Shrine, etc, etc.
It depends upon the individual person how you feel from those places.
You might feel just tiredness or nothing from some power spots.
It's different for different people, the feeling might change from person to person.


Anyway, it's often said that Imperial palace is #1 power spot in Tokyo.
Luckily anyone can go there and even get a free-rental bike on Sundays!

I walked back from the office to Tokyo Station yesterday which took about 30 minutes.
I became energetic when I arrived around Imperial Palace for sure!

『パワースポット』って聞いたことありますか?
訪れると元気になったり居心地が良かったりする場所の事です。
またの名を『スピリチュアルスポット』とか『ヒーリングスポット』とか呼んだりします。日本で有名なのは富士山とか伊勢神宮、世界的にはマユピチュとかハ ワイとかが有名とのことです。 東京にもそんな場所があって、土地自体に力があるのですが、人々がそこを訪れたりブラブラしたり、また神社やお城を建てて しまうような場所です。

六本木(アマンドの前の通り)や銀座(みゆき通り)、明治神宮などがそうです。
どう感じるかは人によって違います。パワースポットから何も感じなかったりただ疲れるだけだったりすることもあります。人によって感じ方が変わるのです。



東京で一番のパワースポットとしてよく言われるのは皇居。
幸い、誰でも行く事が出来るし、日曜日はレンタルサイクルなんてのもやっています。

昨日は会社から東京駅まで30分ほど歩いて帰りました。
皇居の近くに着いたときは、確かに元気になりなりました^^。

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Oh Japanese..

I've been reading Hard boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami lately. His expressions are soooo good that I can't help making a note while I'm reading. His descriptions are amazing. I read the book on the commuting train and if there's any line that I am impressed, I take out my mobile and text it to my PC e-mail. Thus, I'm busy on the train, especially my commuting hour has been shorted since I moved. I miss long time train trip a bit. My neighbourhood photos. -Japanese- 今村上春樹の『世界の終わりとハードボイルドワンダーランド』を読んでいます。 彼の表現力は素晴らしくてついついメモをとってしまいます。 彼の本は評価が好きな人は大好き、良さが分からない、と分かれますが 私は彼の表現に感動する事が多いです。 通勤電車の中で読んでいて、素敵だ、と思うラインがあると 携帯を取り出し自分のパソコンにメールをしてしまいます。 なので電車でとっても忙しい・・。 引っ越して通勤時間が短くなってしまったので 以前のような長い通勤時間も懐かしい気がします。

Aomori

The northernmost part of Honshu(Main Land). It's about 700km away from Tokyo. Where The lantern festival take place. Where Tsugaru Shamisen originated. 8 hours driving. Easy driving. Food! Pink flowers and shrine. Pink pink pink. Season goes a little later than Tokyo. Plants took over the house. How pretty you are. This mountain called Osorezan , which is one of spiritual places in Japan.
