Salt Shrine

'Shio-gama Jinjya' is shrine of the salt that has the most purifying salt in Japan.
There are some way to climb, the most powerful visit is going by the main gate called 'Otoko-zaka' which means 'man slope'.
The picture below is Otoko-zaka.
I didn't find woman slope in the map though.

It was a sunny spot.
According to the book, this step purifies all your bad luck in the past and give a new luck...

Shishi-mai looks solemn.
It looks like there are salt on the steps.

How the effect of this shrine?
I could wake up early next morning and am writing my blog after long period.

This shrine is located in Miyagi prefecture where is the one of affected areas of 311 Earthquake & Tsunami.

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.

Edo Sushi Sasaki

Sushi Sasaki @ Ginza People in Edo started to have Sushi and a restaurant started using fresh fish. 'Edo' means old Tokyo during from the 17th to 19th centuries where used to be a city of Samurai, and Osaka is for merchant at the time. Uni (Sea urchin) And NOW, Sushi chef in Osaka cut up a fish from stomach but chef in Tokyo do it from back. Because Harakiri (commit ritual suicide by disembowelment) is avoidable for Samurai, and Hara wo waru ('Breaking stomach' means heart to heart talk) is high end spirit for merchant. That's what the chef at Sasaki talked ^^. Sake Ebi (Prawn) Toro (Fatty Tuna) Anago (Conger) Uni (Sea urchin)
