Miyajidake-shrine

Miyajidake-shrine

Yesterday, I climbed a mountain near Miyajidake-shrine(宮地嶽神社) with my wife, my daughter and my wife's colleagues. The mountain was not so high, so it took about one and a half hour to climb it and go back. The aim to climb it was a light exercise.

Miyajidake-shrine is a historical place where people pray thier success on their business. We can see many people in special time like New year's day, but this time there were not so many people. It is well-known for its big ornament named "Shime-nawa"(しめ縄). It is made of a lot of rice straws.

I took several photos of the shrine and other places near it, you can enjoy them on the Internet.

It sounds like you had a very nice climb. Mountain-climbing sounds like pretty good exercise; plus, the view at the top was beautiful. I love mountaintop views. Shoot, I guess I just like mountains. I wish we had mountains here around Houston.

I am very glad to receive your comment because recently I have not seen it from other brousers on my blog. I will post new archive in a week.
