45/88 on the Henro88 shrine pilgrimage. What an amazing temple. It’s quite a twisty trek up to the temple but so worth it. You must see this one…

水曜どうでしょうが好きで時折札所巡りもしているので行ってみました。 四国霊場45番札所岩屋寺。 駐車場も狭く、そこへの道も狭いので大きい車の方は気をつけた方がいいと思います。 駐車場は300円で良心市のようにポストに入れるタイプです。 駐車場から山の中を整備されているとはいえ中々厳しい道を20分ほど登って行くとお寺さんがあります。 岩肌にべったり張り付くようにある威厳を感じられるお寺さんでした。 大泉さんが「ありがたい」という気持ちが少しわかる気がしました。 (Translated by Google) I like Wednesdays, and I sometimes visit Fudasho, so I went there. Shikoku Sacred Site No. 45 Fudasho Iwayaji Temple. The parking lot is narrow, and the road to it is also narrow, so I think you should be careful if you have a large car. The parking lot is 300 yen and you can put it in the mailbox like the conscientious market. From the parking lot, there is a temple after about 20 minutes of climbing a tough road, although it is well maintained in the mountains. It was a temple where you can feel the dignity that sticks to the rock face. I felt like I could understand Mr. Oizumi's feeling of "thank you" a little.

Iwaya-ji temple in Kumakogen mountainous area of Ehime is a popular destination for people doing a pilgrimage - it was so magical & interesting to visit on a rainy day in September and pass by the shops with popular snacks and goods for pilgrims as well as take in the wonderful sights & sounds along this forested path. A lot of the path can be slippery so be careful. The cave at the top & temple built by KUKAI is impressive at the sacred mountain. The dark cave below and the forest crumbling back to earth temple gate at the back is interesting - you'll need a flashlight to see the Nio guardians.

45番札所岩屋寺です。空飛ぶ仙人が住んだという幻想的な霊山です。駐車場からは坂道や266段の階段で登山モードに入ります。たどり着くと断崖絶壁に沿って建てられた建物が目を引きます。岩峰には穴禅定など弘法大師の名残があるそうです。 (Translated by Google) It is Iwayaji Temple, the 45th temple. It is a fantastic sacred mountain where a flying hermit lived. From the parking lot, enter climbing mode on a slope or 266 steps. When you arrive, the building built along the cliff will catch your eye. It is said that there are remnants of Kobo Daishi such as Anazenjo at Iwamine.

This place is unbelievable. You must come and see. I visited in the rain and I was still so happy that I came. The temple is built right into the rock face and it is incredible. You can climb a ladder to a platform to get a better view of everything.

Iwaya-ji or temple 45 is one of the most peaceful and authentic temples I have visited so far. There is a partly steep but nice trail from furusato to the temple. Takes 2 hours and you pass along massive trees and a shrine. The trail finally leads you down to the temple.

Peaceful temple! About 120m hike to the top! Loved it! 😍

Gorgeous mountain temple. Well worth the hike from Temple 44 (about 13km). Hike in, don't drive. Steps will destroy just about any Zen mood. Has pilgrims' quarters on a reservation basis. Climb the ladder! Set out early!

The temple was beautiful, but since I'm foreign I got a pretty passive-aggressive note. It says basically "The calligraphy and stamps on the nokyocho book are not a piece of art or for stamp collecting as a hobby. It signifies that you have put your heart into praying to the main Buddha image." I have lived here for a long time and put my heart and soul into the prayers and am very spiritual in my pilgrimage. Just because I'm foreign does not mean that I'm just a typical tourist. The woman at the nokyosho office didn't even attempt to talk with me about why I'm visiting and just gave me this paper with my stamped nokyocho book. Thankfully this was not a typical experience on my 88 temple pilgrimage. Yes, I went to all 88 temples and prayed at every one. This kind of treatment is not conducive to making foreign people feel welcome in Japan and only reinforces the doubts many of us have.

I enjoyed trekking up to the temple. Amazing majestic mountains and views among the path of slopes. Feels so cool and refreshing wether you are into temples or not. Simply breathtaking.

Sadly the tori gate was still under renovation and covered (not expected to finish till December 2022), but I've waited 3 years to see it and will be returning to home country soon so I went. The shrine itself was beautiful over the water, and so many deer in the area. Though the "picture opportunity" to get the tori gate was a loss, the experience was still worth the effort to see it.

Nice Island. It takes 10' in a Ferry to get there from the JR station (not the one at the Peace Memorial but another one that 's 40' in tran from there), and it's included with the JR Pass. No need to get tickets in advance. The whole island can be visited in one or two hour. Recommended to go there in the afternoon to catch the sunset.

Definitely worth the trip one of the most iconic places you can visit in Japan. Plan on spending some time if you want to see the gates at high tide and low tide. At low tide the gates can be walked to and under. High tide it is the beautiful pictures you see all over the internet. There are plenty of shops to see and places to eat. Just be aware that many close around 530-600pm. Night viewing of the gate is great just don't come without food plans as many places will be closed. The popular local dish is oysters, they are prepared almost every way imaginable.

one of the most beautiful things I've seen in Japan, an island full of beauty and culture. everything was so beautiful and delicious, deer walking everywhere. Without a doubt one of the greatest beauties of Japan. If you have the opportunity, don't miss it, it's serious. 1 day is too little to explore the island, take your time

Beautiful place to visit. You can access the island using the ferry (works for JR Pass and Visit Hiroshima Tourist Pass). Both high tide and low tide have their own charm. You will get better pictures (standing much closer to tori) during low tide, which is typically in the late morning around 10am to noon (in end-March). Be careful of the deer - they will do anything for food, even get aggressive.

It’s one of the most famous shrine in Japan. You can enjoy there only 300 yen. After tour in the precincts of the shrine, you must go to shopping streets. Many shops and restaurants serve their specialty.

The shrine that floats. Definitely a must visit because it’s so beautiful and there’s a lot of stuff to see and visit. Nearby there’s shopping street and shops that sells a lot of souvenirs and foods. The shrine itself is pretty crowded so make sure to visit very early as it can get to a very long queue as it reached noon. If you have the time, there’s also a small boat that can take you up to the gate for only 1000 yen/person

Sadly i just came here on the mid-day and it is raining! The advantage is: lesser people and explore like a boss. 1. It will be best if you can come in the morning or the mid-day and explore all the shrines here. 2 hours is not enough to stroll around Miyajima since so many location to spot and enjoy the calmness. 2. If you are from Hiroshima Memorial Park, and planning to take speed boat (near a cafe that sells oranges/tangerines), don't buy round ticket (4000 yen). I missed my return boat due my enjoyement in the island. Many exquisite building and delicious snack here and you will forgot the about the flow of time here.

Lovely ferry trip across to the Island. Easy flat walk out go the gate and temple. Good shops and places to eat, buy they do close at around 5 to 6pm. Watch out for the deer as they will try and steal anything you are holding. Sunset at the gate is spectacular.

The shrine shines like a star in the heart of the world visitors. One of the most iconic scene of Japanese image. You won't regret it if you see it for yourself in person. To feel the sacredness, better come off the rush hours - like early morning or late evening. Or you'll be overcrowded the tourists around the world.

We took the small boat from near the peace park and had an amazing experience! The sun was slowly setting when we were there and the atmosphere was amazing! Even Though it is a tourism spot, it was really calm and beautiful over there. And fun fact, dears are randomly walking around and are interested in food from you hahhaa

This was my 4th time visiting, but no matter I really enjoy visiting Itsukushima. Note to those planning a visit, the famous Floating Torigate is covered up for renovation. No set date when this will be completed, so check out their website for the latest info. We missed the Tori, so I used my awesome photoshop skills to crop one in! Bam - problem solved 😅

We were able to experience all tides for this shrine, which was amazing to witness. When we joined in the morning, we could walk directly to the shrine. In the afternoon, before we left, we could take pictures of it in the water. This has to be one of the top spots of Japan for magical moments and perfect pictures.

Very lucky to visit on a wonderful sunny day. A bit hot, but worth it. I was surprised as to how bold the deer are here. They will literally stick their nose in your bag and take food if you have it. 😂

Beautiful place to visit for a day. The shrine is beautiful. The whole island is worth exploring. The coffee ice cream was absolutely delicious. They now charge 100 yen even if you have the JR pass, but I think it is worth it to help preserve the place.

A great day out and definitely worth the visit despite the crowds. The shrine in the water is amazing to see but the highlight for me was the Daishoin Temple. It’s about a 10minute walk past the famous O-torii Gate, far less crowded and a real hidden gem with so much to see.

Not to be missed! Do check the high/low tide hours online, and visit as per your preference. I went after 4pm to see the shrine and the gate with the high tide. It was still very much crowded. Right after sunset, the place almost emptied and it was beautiful and peaceful until dusk.

Stunning views and a nice half day trip from Hiroshima. Definitely would have missed not coming here. Taking the JR Ferry is very simple. If you take the right JR Ferry and stand on the right side, you can also take some nice pictures if the Torii from the sea

It's as wonderful as you see in wallpapers. We visited both during lowtide (dusk) and high tide (daytime). It's a completely different experience! The water goes all the way to the shrine so the gate feels very far away. But at night, you can touch the gate if you really wanted. The nighttime view with the city as a background is awe inspiring.

Well worth the ferry ride over. There are deer on the island and many tourist shops and good food as well as the gate on the beach. Just before sunset on a clear day is a perfect time to come.

A beautiful place to visit You see the gate from the ferry and it is a short walk from the pier. The queue moves fairly quickly and movement around the shrine can be slow depending on the number of visitors. A must when visiting Miyajima Island.

A very beautiful shrine with a tori gate in the middle of the sea. The place is surreal and very beautiful, pictures dont do it justice. You need to go here personally to appreciate the beauty of it. You can take the nearest ferry near the island to get here cheaply.

Possibly the most famous Shinto shrine for tourists. Beautiful from all angles. At high tide it makes for great photos as it appears to float. At low tide you can see the entire structure. There's a shrine just near the main Tori Gate with ¥300 entrance fee, which has a pier to take photos of the Tori gate. It also has lots of deer everywhere which was a lovely surprise.

往復2200円。片道15分程の乗船だったと思いますか、この価格設定はちょっと高いかも?燃料代も高騰しているので仕方ないかもしれませんが、、、 大きく揺れることもなく、快適な船の移動を楽しめました。 混む時間帯には、臨時の便もありましたが、なるべく早めに行って、整理券をもらったほうが無難です。 ちょっとした売店あり。 (Translated by Google) Round trip 2200 yen. Do you think it was a 15 minute one-way ride? Maybe this price is a little high? I enjoyed the comfortable movement of the ship without shaking greatly. There were extra buses during busy times, but it's safer to go as early as possible and get a numbered ticket. There is a small shop.

3/5日曜、天気良かったのでGO! 9時の第一便目指して8時過ぎに到着。 その時5組目位で並んでると…有難い事に830に臨時便が出るとの事。駐車場は車中で待ってる方多く、臨時便が出るのを知らずギリギリに来て乗れなかった方も居たので要注意ですね。 どうやら、その日は2隻で30分毎に運行してた模様。 船も綺麗で、船員さんは安全に気を遣い機敏な動きでいい感じ。 あ…最前列に並んだからって、船の席は前の方がいいと思ったら、大間違いですよ😂 (Translated by Google) 3/5 Sunday, the weather was good, so GO! Arrived after 8 o'clock aiming for the first flight at 9 o'clock. At that time, when I was in line for the 5th group... Thankfully, there was a special flight at 830. There were many people waiting in their cars in the parking lot, and there were people who didn't know that there was a special flight and came at the last minute and couldn't get on, so be careful. Apparently, it seems that two ships were operating every 30 minutes that day. The ship is also beautiful, and the sailors are careful about safety and have agile movements. Oh... If you think that you should sit in the front row of the boat, you are wrong 😂

It would have been better if there was a railing from gate to ferry entrance. Be careful of falling into ocean. You can sit before your departure as there are many chairs.

二度目のチャレンジで、今回も乗れませんでした。一度目は欠航、事前確認してから行った今回は1便(AM9)の頃には当日の整理券が無くなったとのことでした。近くの休暇村付近の砲台跡にて雰囲気を満喫してきました。そちらの写真も上げます (Translated by Google) It was my second challenge, and I couldn't ride this time either. The first flight was canceled, and I went after checking in advance. I enjoyed the atmosphere at the remains of the gun battery near the nearby Kyukamura. I will post pictures of them too

Very natural jungle here

Checked the website before going and didn’t see any information. Arrived at the site and it was closed .....

The boat might be close due to weather condition in the winter...sad

I justed it to get to Tomogashima, but it's too expensive.

(Translated by Google) This is the only means of transportation to get to Tomogashima, and it takes less than 30 minutes one way to take you from Kada Port to Tomogashima's Nonoura Pier. If you want to make sure you board your desired flight, come a little early to get a numbered ticket. There is no additional charge for baggage, but there may be an additional charge for items such as bicycles. The first flight departs at 9am, but it may be delayed depending on the weather, so if you are concerned about the weather that day, it is best to inquire. I used it for a one-night, two-day camping trip on Tomogashima in early March, and the staff were very helpful and the boat was small but clean and comfortable. (Original) 友ヶ島へ渡る唯一の交通機関で片道30分足らずで加太港から友ヶ島の野奈浦桟橋まで運んでくれます。 確実に目的の便に乗船する場合は少し早めに来て整理券を貰いましょう。 手荷物には追加料金は掛かりませんが、自転車などは別途費用がかかる様です。 運行時刻は最初の便が9時ですが天候によっては遅れる場合があるので、当日の天候に不安がある場合は問い合わせをした方がよさそうです。 3月上旬に友ヶ島での一泊二日のキャンプで利用させてもらいましたが係の方の接客もしっかりしていましたし、船も小型ながら清潔で快適な船旅でした。

(Translated by Google) Before I go to work, this season, I'm freezing in this windswept waiting area. It looks like it's going to be profitable, so please invest. Anyway, it's popular. There are many people waiting. After all, the ship won't leave the port until it's full. Well, that doesn't matter. An adventure world about to begin? Just a hike? Cut through the waves and aim for ◯◯◯◯. It really happened. (Original) 出向だーぁ　の前に、この季節、 この吹きさらしの待合じゃ、凍えちゃうよ。 儲かってそうなんで、ぜひ、投資を。 それにしても、人気だね。待ち人多し。 結局、満席になるまでは、出港しないのね。 まぁ、そんなことは、どうでもいいや。 これから、始まる冒険世界？ 単なるハイキング？ 波切り分けて、目指すは、◯◯◯◯。 本当にに、あったんだ。

Saw it in a beautiful day.

First temple I visited.

(Translated by Google) This is the 70th temple of the 88 Temples of Shikoku, and a family of kappas welcomed us at the water purification station. The main hall is a national treasure and is a Nara-style building built in 1300 with a single-story hipped roof. The five-storied pagoda, one of only four of the Shikoku sacred sites, was rebuilt in 1909 and stands out. (Original) 四国八十八ヶ所 七十番札所です、手水舎で河童の親子がお出迎えしてくれました。 本堂は国宝 一重寄棟造り、正安2年（1300）建立の奈良風の造りです。明治43年に再建された四国霊場で4ヶ所だけという五重塔も目立ちます。

(Translated by Google) [Photo date: September 3, 2023] There are 88 temples in Shikoku located near the river. As of September, the five-storied pagoda was surrounded by a fence as it appeared to be undergoing earthquake-resistant construction. It was the time when crape myrtle was blooming, so I was able to enjoy the beautiful pink and white flowers. The precincts were so well-organized that you could feel that they were carefully managed. I believe that in spring there were cherry blossom tree-lined roads along the riverbeds in the area. This is also very beautiful, so please take a look at it as well. (Original) 【撮影日：2023年09月3日】 川の近くにある四国八十八カ所の御寺です。 五重塔は９月時点では、耐震関係の工事をしているようでフェンスで囲まれてました。ちょうど百日紅（さるすべり）の開花時期だったので、綺麗なピンクと白色の花を楽しむことが出きました。境内は丁寧に管理されているんだなと思えるような整いでした。 たしか春には周辺の河川敷に桜の並木道があったと思います。これもすごくきれいなので、ぜひあわせて観賞ください。

(Translated by Google) A temple with a five-story pagoda. Niomon Gate appears immediately from the parking lot. Since the area around Niomon is open, it gives the impression that there is only one Niomon. The pay office goes to the back of the main hall. It is a nokyosho that has the atmosphere of a village headman's home. It was the time of the Doll's Festival, so there were many dolls on display. (Original) ５重の塔があるお寺。 駐車場からすぐに現れる仁王門。 仁王門の周りが開けているので、ぽつんと仁王門があるようなイメージです。 納経所は、本堂の裏に行きます。 まるで庄屋さんのお家みたいな雰囲気の納経所です。 ちょうど、ひな祭りの時期だったのでお雛様がいくつも飾られておりました。

(Translated by Google) ~ No. 70 Honzanji Temple ~ There are only four five-storied pagodas in Shikoku sacred sites: Chikurin-ji, Shido-ji, Zentsu-ji, and this Honzan-ji. The main hall, designated as a national treasure, is located within the vast grounds of 20,000 square meters. I visited in mid-February and was able to see the ``Hinadan Decoration'' and it was so relaxing. It was a nice season when the plum blossoms were fragrant. (Original) ～　第７０番　本山寺　～ 四国霊場では竹林寺・志度寺・善通寺とこの本山寺の４ヶ所だけ「五重塔」がある ２万平方メートルの広大な境内に「国宝」の本堂が立派 訪れたのは２月半ば「ひな壇飾り」を見ることができ何とも　ほっこり 蝋梅が香るいい季節だった

(Translated by Google) No. 70 of the 88 Temples of Shikoku. The Niomon gate and five-storied pagoda are very impressive. When I visited, it happened to be the Doll's Festival, so there were Hina dolls on display. (Original) 四国八十八ケ所第70番札所。 仁王門と五重の塔がとても立派です。 訪れた時がたまたまひな祭りの日だったため、雛人形が展示してありました。

This place is a great Spa hotel at a very reasonable price!

Gents' toilet {1+1;1} No washlet.

(Translated by Google) Chichibu came to see Ura and Tenku Torii. I was looking for a hot spring inn nearby and ended up here. I wasn't expecting much, but I was very satisfied with the quality and variety of hot springs! We were also able to enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom from the dining room. I also took a bath in the morning and am very satisfied (^-^) (Original) 秩父が浦と天空の鳥居を見に来ました。 近くの温泉宿を探したらここに行き着きました。 期待していなかったのですが、温泉の質と種類の多さでとても満足です！ そして、食堂から満開の桜が堪能出来ました。 朝風呂も入れて、とても満足しています(^-^)

(Translated by Google) Day trip bath: 700 yen (pool included) QR code payment accepted Attached to the roadside station. 10:00 to 22:00 (Bath time is 21:45) Natural hot spring, jacuzzi, cold bath, large sauna (86℃), herbal bath, open-air bath (with night view) In addition to shampoo, lotion and milky lotion are available. Free dryer. Depending on the quality of the spring water, it can be slippery, so be careful. There is a recliner with a TV, but I felt that the volume of the TV was low and difficult to hear. I wanted to relax for a day, so I was disappointed that there was no outlet. The restaurants are also reasonably priced, not too expensive. It says that Wi-Fi is free, but when I checked, I was told that there was no Wi-Fi. (Available only for guests staying at the hotel?) (Original) 日帰り入浴:700円（プール付）　QRコード決済可 道の駅に併設。 10時から22時（入浴は21時45分） 天然温泉、ジャグジー、水風呂、広めのサウナ（86℃）薬草湯、露天風呂（夜景見える）シャンプー以外にも化粧水や乳液あり。ドライヤー無料。 泉質により、滑りやすいので注意が必要。 テレビ付きのリクライニングがあるが、テレビの音量が小さくて聞こえにくいと感じた。1日ゆっくりしたかったのでコンセントが無いのが残念だった。 食事処も高すぎず、良心的な値段。 Wi-Fi無料と記載あるが、確認したら無いと言われた。（宿泊者のみ有？）

(Translated by Google) This roadside station is located right next to the entrance to Yaya-dera temple. There are hot spring facilities, souvenir shops, and a large park. The large park has large playground equipment, but the monorail (single-seater) that goes around the park is also a great place to enjoy the scenery. Many children were having fun. You can go out to the observation deck from the second time at the souvenir shop. The view from there is a panoramic view of Sanuki's unique mountain scenery. I thought it would be a small park, but it's quite spacious and is recommended for families. (Original) 札所の弥谷寺への入り口すぐそばにある道の駅です。 温泉施設やお土産屋さん、そして広い公園があります。 広い公園には大きな遊具がありますが、園内を一周するモノレール（1人乗り）は景観もよく楽しめそうです。多くの子供たちが楽しんでいました。 お土産屋さんの2回から展望デッキに出ることができます。 そこからの眺望は、讃岐特有の山の風景が広がります。 小さな公園だと思っていましたが、結構な広さがあってファミリーにはおすすめの場所です。

(Translated by Google) This roadside station has hot spring facilities, accommodation facilities, a park, etc. The stores at the roadside station sell souvenirs and other items, and there is also a food corner. The parking lot is quite crowded with hot spring users. The WC on the store side of the roadside station cannot be used at night. Only the WC at the roadside station entrance can be used. This time, I was allowed to sleep in the car, but it seemed like there was a doggy meet-up 🐶, so a lot of people stayed in the car. But it was quiet at night. However, it is a pity that WiFi was not available. (You cannot use the attached hot spring facility either.) thank you very much. (Original) 温泉施設や宿泊施設、公園などが併設されている道の駅です。 道の駅の店舗には、お土産などが販売されていて、飲食コーナーもあります。 駐車場は、温泉の利用者で割りと混雑します。 道の駅の店舗側のWCは、夜は使用出来ません。道の駅入口にあるWCのみ使用可能です。 今回、車中泊させてもらいましたが、ワンちゃんのオフ会🐶があったようで、たくさん車中泊されてました。でも、夜静かでしたょ。 ただ、WiFiが使えなかったのが残念です。(併設の温泉施設も使えません) ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) It seemed like the kids had a lot of fun in the athletics, and they headed home exhausted. I'm very happy that I was able to travel around more than I expected with the monorider. The attached Iyadani hot spring was also very pleasant. (Original) アスレチックは子供がたっぷり楽しめたようで、クタクタに疲れて帰路につきました。モノライダーが思ってた以上に周遊できて大満足です。 併設するいやだに温泉も気持ちよかったです。
