In this video I will share with you our trip from Iwakuni, to Shirakawa-go, Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park, Nagano, Matsumoto and Matsumoto Castle, Gero Onsen and Nara.
Follow us along as we travel around Japan, Asia and other parts of the world. We bought an Akiya (Vacant or Abandoned House) house in the countryside of Japan. The house is being renovated and the goal is to turn it into a forever home in which we can live for many years while we enjoy traveling.
We enjoy visiting shrines and temples in Japan. Along with a quick prayer, we collect different Goshuin stamps. Goshuin are large stamps, handwritten by monks, that work as proof that you have visited a specific temple or shrine. The goshuin is handwritten in a Goshuincho or “honorable red stamp books” which are small accordion-fold books that may be purchased at most temples and shrines throughout Japan and these days at many stationery shops, especially those carrying traditional paper goods.
We completed the 88 temples of Shikoku Pilgrimage or (Shikoku Henro). The Shikoku pilgrimage route (or Shikoku Henro) is one of the few circular-shaped pilgrimages in the world. It includes 88 “official” temples and numerous other sacred sites where the Buddhist priest Kūkai (Kōbō Daishi) is believed to have trained or have spent time during the 9th Century.
We have traveled to many places around Japan and have many more places to visit in the future. We have been to Hokkaido, Tokyo, Kyoto, Nagano, Matsumoto, Nara, Mount Fuji, Yamanashi, Kyushu, Okinawa, Hiroshima, Iwakuni and much more.
