Kumano Sanzan's Okunoin

#aprilblooms A sacred place of Shugendo located directly below the top of Mt. Tamaki at an altitude of 1076 metres. At the time of Emperor Jinmu's eastern expedition, it is said that he rested his soldiers in this place and prayed for good luck, and he has gathered faith as the inner temple of Kumano Sanzan. It is registered as a constituent asset of the World Heritage Site "Sacred Sites and Visiting Roads in the Kii Mountains" and the historical site "Omine Okukado". Although you can go by car, you need to be careful when driving because there is a narrow mountain road with ninety-nine folds. It is not uncommon for snow to accumulate in winter. In addition, there are many days when thick fog occurs, and the precincts are surrounded by a fantastic atmosphere.

🇯🇵 Lost in Tokyo: My Japan Travel Experience A first-timer’s story of neon streets, quiet temples, and unforgettable ramen Visiting Tokyo had always been on my bucket list — and when I finally landed, I realized nothing could truly prepare me for this city. Tokyo isn’t just a place. It’s an experience — futuristic, chaotic, serene, and beautiful, all at once. And I got to live it, one train stop at a time. ⸻ 🛬 First Impressions: Fast, Clean, and Polite The moment I arrived, Japan’s legendary efficiency was on full display. Immigration was smooth, and within minutes I was on the Narita Express, zooming into the city. I couldn’t stop looking out the window — the blend of nature and concrete, sakura trees peeking between buildings, vending machines everywhere. What struck me first? How quiet the city felt — even with millions of people. No honking, no shouting, just organized calm. Everyone followed the rules. It felt almost… peaceful. ⸻ 🏙️ Exploring the City: From Shibuya to Asakusa My base was in Shinjuku — loud, bright, always alive. I wandered around Kabukicho, got mildly lost, and stumbled into a tiny ramen shop run by an old man who didn’t speak English. Still, that bowl of spicy miso ramen? Unreal. One of the best meals of my life. I crossed the iconic Shibuya Crossing, visited Takeshita Street in Harajuku, and browsed the endless floors of Don Quijote. Then came the shift — from chaos to calm — as I walked through Asakusa. The Senso-ji Temple felt like stepping into another world. Lanterns, incense, people bowing in silence — it made me pause. Tokyo knows how to balance extremes. 🍜 The Food: Every Meal Was a Discovery Though I was in Japan as a Muslim I couldn’t eat everything there halal food is now available mostly in cities. Specially u have to download “halal Japan” app and scan bar codes of the foods in super market and convenient store if u are a Muslim . Even convenience store sandwiches tasted like they were made by a chef. 🧳 What I Learned • Cash is still king — not every place takes cards • Google Maps is your best friend for trains • People are respectful to the core — I didn’t hear a single loud phone call • And most importantly: don’t rush. Tokyo isn’t a checklist. It’s a city you feel, not just visit. 🌆 My Favorite Moment? It was night. I was walking alone near Tokyo Tower, the wind was cool, and the city lights reflected off wet streets. There were no crowds, no noise — just me and the skyline. That’s when I realized: Tokyo had quietly stolen my heart. ✈️ Final Thoughts Tokyo is strange and wonderful, fast and slow, loud and silent. It’s everything at once, yet nothing like anywhere else. If you ever get the chance, don’t just go — let it overwhelm you. Let it teach you stillness in motion. I know I’ll be back. #worldtravel #Trip #historicallandmarks #localguides #tokyo #japan #sakura #japantrip #japannature
