２０２４ New Year's Day

Original Text

On New Year's Day, there was a Noto earthquake suddenly, and I got a little dark, but I visited Ryukaji Temple in Shimizu. I don't know if the zodiac is a dragon and auspicious this year, but I worshiped. We prayed for the future success of our Hanshin Tigers, including repelling the plague, calming the heavenly and earthly incidents, praying for the health of our family. On New Year's Eve, we have visited Hachimangu Shrine near our house.

Longhua Temple の Treasure Museum と Spot,

Original Text

When I come to Shimizu, I will visit Ryukaji Temple if I have a chance. I apologize for posting the name of "Ryukaji" confused with "Renkaji", which is many in Japan including Shizuoka. Pay the temple admission fee ４００ yen and visit the main shrine from the pond in the garden. I've seen the treasure hall many times, but I like the camel figurines of Chinese pottery. And see the big old sotetsu in the precincts. Fresh whenever you come! So, I enjoy walking.
