    Hiroshima Pref. Onomichishi Nagae 1-11-16
    Located in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, the Misode Tenmangu Shrine is a shrine dedicated to the spirit of Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning. Legend says that in 901, Michizane, who was relegated to Dazaifu, stopped by Onomichi on his way to Dazaifu and gave away one kimono sleeve as thanks for the warm hospitality he received there. In the grounds of the shrine are 55 stone steps, each one a block of stone five meters in length, some rare pieces of formative art and spectacular views overlooking the city. The shrine is also known as the setting for the film, I Are You, You Am Me, directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi, and as the stage for some animations, which is why it has become so popular with tourists.

    大林宣彦監督の尾道三部作の映画「転校生」で主人公の二人が石段を転げ落ち、二人の身体と心が入れ替わってしまうと言う名シーンの舞台となった場所です。 映画「転校生」は1982年(昭和57年)に公開された映画なので40年近い昔の映画ですが、いまでもそのシーンは良く覚えているので、訪問できて超感動です。 実際に見た石段は結構急で、この階段を転げ落ちると大怪我しちゃうのではと思わせるほどの階段でした。 階...

    Hiroshima Mihara-shi Yahatacho Miyauchi 7
    This historic and ancient Shinto shrine is said to have been founded in 769 when government official Wake no Kiyomaro transferred a god from the Usa Hachimangu shrine here in order to pray for his exoneration after he incurred the wrath of a politically-connected monk. In ancient times, the shrine prospered as the guardian shrine of the Yawata-no-sho estate as well as the guardian shrine of all Bingo Province (now eastern Hiroshima Prefecture). The shrine’s woodcuts depicting and Sukhavati sutra and wooden komainu guardian lion-dogs are said to have been donated by the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa in the Muromachi period and have been designated National Important Cultural Property. During the Tensho era (1573-1593), the mighty samurai lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi visited the shrine and is said to have personally planted a cherry tree on the grounds.

    広島県の桜の名所が満開になったので行って来ました。場所は三原ですが久井ICから府中の境目にあり、西の吉野と呼ばれる「しだれ桜」の名所として有名です。到着するも駐車場は満杯で空き待ち後に観光。何故か?豊臣秀吉が手植えしたと伝えられたしだれ桜の切り株がありました。参道側には朱塗りの橋があり、「やはた川自然公園」の中心にあり、重文に指定され見所満載でよかったです。

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
