I came over to Hayatama shrine of Kumano Sanzan today. A company painted in red is beautiful. Hayatama god of matchmaking is worshiped here. The wedding ceremony is held here, too. The pebble in the precincts. I come out to honor of the state Kimigayo. The pebble deposited in a conglomerate and was able to do it. However, a pebble becomes rock in Kimigayo. Rock is igneous rock made of the volcanic activity. It has the unscientific saying person that a sedimentary rock becomes the igneous rock, but this is literal expression that a country is gathered up in one. There is a big tree of Nagi more than 1,000 years in the precincts. This means peace in a sacred tree, too. As for the times when peace is desired, there will not be it as now.
I came to Kamikura Shrine from Hayatama shrine. There is a steep stone stairway when I pass through the torii. Besides, the size is distorted, too and seems to totally climb the cliff, and this stone stairway form is dangerous, too. The elderly climb the stone while hitting a handle. Waxberry falls into the approach to a shrine on the way. I arrived soon to a washroom while being out of breath. I am mysterious that there is water near such mountaintop. There is a round-shaped big rock on a small company painted in red. A Shinto straw festoon is used, and a black kite has a shape of the frog I come, and to be said to be a rock. The Shingu city is a sweep of the eye from here. I see a chimney of Kishu Paper of Mie across the Kumano River. I shade it with a torch and run and go down these steep stairs for New Year holidays. I became famous for lamp before the altar festival nationwide.
The next is Yunomine Onsen. Long-established hot-spring hotels stand here across a road. I make a hot-spring egg with a japanned pail for hot water. Thickness is transmitted through the floor around the japanned pail for hot water by terrestrial heat in a sole. I become the natural floor heater in winter when I pull a straw mat here and sit down. Pot bath is in Tanikawa, and it will be unusual for the street stall which there is in a world heritage. In the bathtub, a heat spring and water of river springing out of the rock. and it is in the just right water temperature. The public bathhouse is built in last year, and the hinoki structure is modern; made it. Still, a tourist is sparse. If a body will be rebeared when I enter hot water Yunamine Onsen, it is refreshed. Because the critically ill Oguri third-ranking official who was poisoned even if I said anything revived with this hot water.
I left hot Yunomine Onsen and came to the Honguu shrine. A sudden stone stairway continues, but it is an easy victory than Kamikura Shrine. It is forbidden other than taking a ceremonial photograph from the gate, and it is not good to improve in SNS. So the photography to here. There is a black mailbox. It will be only here in the whole country. Of course it is the black of the mythical crow. A leaf book is sold. A commemorative stamp is pushed when I mail it here. Because a Japanese blue magpie was not crowded, I had today’s set meal in a dining room nearby. It is made carefully and is delicious.
I came to Oyunohara. There was state of things Hongu big shrine here. The holm of the river had it and was drained by a flood of the Meiji, and a company was projected on the slightly elevated place in now. There is Otorii when I walk the approach to a shrine of a long stone pavement. I am huge. I go into the precincts among the big trees of the hinoki from there. Wakayama will be the ground covered with a tree definitely as having been said to be Kiinokuni. Photography is prohibited in the precincts here at the most sacred place. Still, having many foreigners. Two-thirds is a foreigner, and a one-third is a Japanese. “Why does the person go to Kumano?” Just “why does the foreigner go to Kumano?” I want to say.
I went to flower cave Shrine from here. Izanami goddess is enshrined. The rope set up in February does not yet die. This rope connects the next world and the world. The flower of a snow-white crinum bloomed on the perpendicular rock face of the object of worship, but summer still began. The season seems to be slightly early so that a large flower given to the goddess blooms. Black swallowtail flies in the chilly precincts in midsummer and flies. It is the first season in the company of the goddess. The trip of 2nd was over leaving Nachi big shrine of Kumano three temples in a night.
