After passing through the mountain gate, the approach to the temple continues with lush greenery, and you can see the changing seasons. Passing through the splendid mountain gate, Edo wind chimes with delicate patterns beautifully decorate the quiet green maple path from the mountain gate to the worship gate. Under the eaves of the prayer hall, wind chimes made of Nambu ironware hang, producing a different tone than glass wind chimes. On the way to the Yakushido temple at the top of Yusan-ji Temple... The natural forest that spreads out is a precious forest that has retained its appearance from 10,000 years ago. Along the way, you will come across Ruri Falls, which is filled with refreshing air. When Empress Koken was ill, she washed her eyes with the water from this waterfall and her illness was cured, so it is revered as a sacred mountain of the sun. A statue of Acala is enshrined in the shrine. A three-story pagoda stands quietly on the peak. It was built by Minamoto no Yoritomo as a token of his appreciation for the recovery of his eye disease. It is a nationally designated important cultural property and is said to be the oldest tower in Shizuoka Prefecture.

About 3,000 hydrangeas are planted in the grounds, and at "Hydrangea Square," where blue hydrangeas bloom, umbrellas are lined up in a row, making it a photogenic spot that often appears on social media. There is also an umbrella with a hydrangea painted on it in front, so you can take a nice shot with the umbrella. It was early July, so the hydrangeas were starting to wither, so it wasn't a spectacular view, but it was still beautiful. In front of the Niomon Gate is a rainbow of colorful teru teru bozu. The Yakushido Hall is a temple for beautiful skin, skin diseases, and skin troubles. The current Yakushido Hall was rebuilt, and in front of it there is a tunnel of colorful wind chimes. Right next to it is the Benzaiten Pond, and next to it is a seated Acala Buddha. Most of the Buddhas have short hair and wear jeweled crowns. 《Hotasan Specialty Dumplings Business Association》 🕰️Business hours: 8:00-16:30 Dumpling shop in the temple grounds One of the specialties of Hotasan is the "evil-warding dango," which is so popular that almost everyone who comes to worship buys one. It began during the time of Tokugawa Iesada, the 13th shogun of the Edo Shogunate. It all started when Ishikawa Yazaemon presented handmade dango to the shop. Lord Iesada liked the taste so much that he named them "Kushi-dango". They were sold at the ticket machine for 200 yen for two skewers. The bite-sized skewers were smothered in a generous amount of lightly sweet bean paste and were delicious. There was a beautiful umbrella sky set up in front of the shop. #Shizuoka #Shizuoka sightseeing #Wind chimes #Hydrangea #Photogenic spots #Teru-teru-bou #Umbrella #Absolutely free trip

This year, it will be held from Saturday, May 24th to Sunday, August 31st, 2025 This Niomon Gate is a nationally designated important cultural property. It is said that the world will change when you pass through the gate. This is a majestic and magnificent three-bay, one-door tower gate, worthy of being the main gate of Hotasan. The fresh greenery of the trees is refreshing, and after walking for a while, a gate made of cypress appears on your left. The "Kuromon" is also registered as a city designated architectural cultural property. Today, there is only one temple at Hotasan, Son'ei-ji, but in the past, there were as many as 12 temples lined up within the grounds. The central presence among them was "Gakutoin Shobo." It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the Niomon Gate to the main hall. The rows of cedar trees and green maples are wonderful, and I think the autumn leaves are a spectacular sight. Wind chimes add a refreshing sound to the Japanese summer. In the summer at Hotasan, wind chimes are displayed all over the corridors and Tsubasa Hall, and the pleasant sounds are soothing. In the main hall, "wishing wind chimes" are displayed, on which you can write your wishes on wooden strips of paper. The inside of the east wing to the right of the main hall is surrounded by a blackout curtain and lit up with transparent wind chimes. When you face the main hall, you will see the Chatan-ji Hall on the right. Many colorful wind chimes are hanging like beads, and the polka dots and pastel colors are very cute. This is the hall that used to be the main hall. Although faded, the compass of the Guardian of the Zodiac, which is displayed on the ceiling inside the hall, is magnificent. There are also colorful flowers enshrined in the flower water fountain. #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Shizuoka #ShizuokaTourism #EnshuSanzan #WindChimes #SummerEvent

Mentora Ramen in Fukuroi is celebrated for its creamy, flavorful tonkotsu (pork bone) broth paired with thick, satisfying noodles. This unpretentious ramen shop is a hit among locals, offering a hearty bowl of ramen perfect for those who enjoy bold, savory flavors. Ordering is done via a vending machine at the entrance, a common practice in Japan. However, the staff does not speak English, which might pose a challenge for non-Japanese speakers. Fortunately, the vending machine typically features photos to assist with the selection process. The interior is clean and straightforward, with limited seating. Service is efficient, and the ramen is served steaming hot. Generous toppings complement the dish, with the chashu (braised pork) standing out for its tenderness and rich taste. The broth is quite salty and heavy, making it ideal for those who prefer robust flavors. Prices are reasonable, and parking is available outside. If you’re in Fukuroi and want to experience authentic local ramen, Mentora Ramen is worth a visit despite potential language barriers.

I went there for Stray Kids' concert. It was a 20 minute climb from the station, plus stairs. There were traffic restrictions on the way back, so it took nearly 2 hours to get to the station and catch the train.

Ecopa Stadium This was my first time visiting Ecopa Stadium in Shizuoka. I went there to see Mr.Children's live performance, and it was a really nice stadium. The reason is that there was a lot of greenery around, so I felt very natural.

We previously introduced Hotasan Son'eiji Temple for its wind chime festival and hydrangeas, but during the rainy season, you can enjoy a cute tunnel of Teru Teru Bouzu 🤍 When I visited in 2022, there were colorful Teru Teru Bouzu like the one in the photo. I didn't have a good photo, but when I visited in 2023, the blue gradient created a different atmosphere! ! 1,200 Teru Teru Bouzu are displayed in front of the gate at the entrance to Hotasan Son'eiji Temple, so you can enjoy visiting the temple even during the gloomy rainy season, so we recommend it.

Last time, we introduced the summer wind chime festival at Hotasan Son'eiji Temple. Not only in the summer, but also during the rainy season, the hydrangea and umbrella displays are a wonderful place🤍 The best time to see them is from mid to late June, when the beautiful, colorful hydrangeas bloom in blue, purple, and pink. They start blooming around late May, so it might be a good idea to go see them before the rainy season really starts! There are apparently about 3,000 hydrangeas🫢 There are also cute umbrellas☂️ displayed around the hydrangeas, which make for great photos📸 This is a recommended place for a girls' weekend trip!

In the summer, the temple is decorated with wind chimes, a seasonal feature of summer 🎐 Colorful wind chimes with various designs welcome worshippers, and their wonderful sounds reverberate throughout the temple 🤍 There are apparently 4,000 of them 🫢 My personal recommendation is the wind chime lighting up.

The wind chime festival is held for a long period from the end of May to early September every year, so be sure to go this summer. ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Hotasan Soneiji Temple, Fukuroi City 📸: EOS 5D Mark4, iPhone 13 Pro ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ #Domestic travel record #Shizuoka #Shizuoka sightseeing #Shizuoka trip #Fukuroi City #Fukuroi #Hotasan Soneiji Temple #Hotasan

If you're traveling on a slow train, such as on a Seishun 18 Ticket trip, wouldn't you like to cut down on accommodation costs? As an example, I'd like to show you accommodation in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture. First of all, the closer you are to the downtown area or city center, the higher the price, or the more popular it is and the more likely it is to be fully booked. In contrast, Aino Station has a large stadium and is a popular spot when there are events, but it's also a good place to visit in the off-season. However, if you use it incorrectly, you'll end up with nothing to do and you'll be on your smartphone all the time at the hotel, so it's best to schedule a late arrival at your accommodation and only stay overnight after you've had enough fun at the tourist spots. I like discovering new towns like this and want to explore the area, so I try to get off with plenty of time to spare. It's also fun to go into a local izakaya if there is one. #Value for money hotel #Cosmo Inn #Shizuoka Hotel #0 yen travel autumn ──────────────────── Store name: Cosmo Inn Address: 1-1-6 Ainominami 1-chome, Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture Price: 6,300 yen (breakfast included) ────────────────────

The temple grounds are vast, and you can enjoy the nature of the four seasons, making it a quiet and soothing place. One of the attractions of Hotasan is the shaved ice served at the teahouse on the grounds. This shaved ice, perfect for a hot summer day, is characterized by its fluffy ice and homemade syrup. Particularly popular are the shaved ice flavored with Shizuoka-style matcha and roasted green tea, which have a refined sweetness and rich flavor. There are also syrups made with local specialties, and seasonal flavors are also available. After worship, taking a break with this delicious shaved ice is a truly blissful moment for all visitors.
