Izumo
20 grudnia 2022, Japonia ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C
I arrived in Izumo as this is where my night train would be leaving from, to get back to Tokyo. I had 4 hours or so, so I put my gear in a locker and jumped on the first bus I saw without knowing where it would take me.
I had a thought last night about planning vs impulse due to heading to that island and not expecting deer. Where it got me to was, when I plan I get my hopes up and often get more excited for something than it deserves thus inevitably letting me down. When I just do something random it may not be the best but it's always a surprise and that's the best bit.
It dropped me off in a temple so I headed that way and called mum and dad on the way. It was a nice park to walk through and the air was cool and crisp, as I had not walked much today I decided to walk down to the beach.
As the sun was setting it was a very nice and calm place, it seemed quite a small town with very few tourists or cars.
I only had a few hours so I grabbed some Starbucks sandwich for the train and headed back to the train station. When I got back I could not find anywhere with power or wifi to spend the hour I had remaining so I went to mos burger and got dinner for later.
Back at the station again and there were some missionaries playing Christmas carols on the piano. They were from America and 18-21. They were here for a couple of months just spreading the word so it seems, it was nice to hear them play though. Czytaj więcej

Izumo taisha and Matsue in Shimane
9 maja 2017, Japonia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Light rain this monring as I head off to Izumo taisha, reputedly the oldest Shinto Shrine and the birthplace of Japan. It is said that all the kami, or gods, visit here together one month in every year, known as the 'month of the gods'. In the rest of Japan that month is known as the 'month without gods'.

It is a spectacular shrine in a spectacular setting with superb buildings in the 'hioku-irimoya-zukiri' style which I really find appealing for its simplicity, grace and sense of mystery and magic. This place is also known as the shrine of marriage and relationships and is dedicated to Okuninushi no Mikoto the god of marriage. When worshipping here it is common to clap four times, rather than twice, two for you and two for the other; the object of your heart.

The light rain actually adds a bit of atmosphere and grey skies are always good to bring out the colours in a photograph, especially the greens, of which there are multiple shades in this forested, mountainous place. The central compound is unfortunatly inaccessible to us mere mortals but what can be seen is spectacular and the main compound with its arched roofs and flying cross pieces is ringed by smaller shrines and other things like lots of statues of bunny rabbits in various poses. How cute or 'kawai' as they would say here.

In the afternoon its back to rainy Matsue and I figure I'll visit the Shimane Art Museum and head of in the pouring rain with my trusty travel umbrella... only to find on arrival that the Museum is closed on a Tuesday...duh! Oh well I'll save it for tomorrow, I think, and promptly head off to the nearest giant shopping mall; sprawling multi floored temples to mass consumption which every city has many of.

Tomorrow is another day and I hope the weather clears as I want to visit Matsue Castle and take a boat tour around the city on its many canals and rivers. Matsue is known as the Venice of Japan. Its also known for its amazing sunsets over lake Shinji so it would be pretty ironic if I come all this way and don't even see the sun let alone a good sunset.

Fingers crossed! Czytaj więcej

Adachi Museum of Art
11 maja 2017, Japonia ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
I keep thinking I have discovered japan's most beautiful gardens, Katsura being the most recent, only to be surprised by even more beautiful locations. The Japanese Gardens that now have to be exceeded are those at the Adachi Museum of Art near Yasugi in Shimane. I found them just stunning and set within the context of an Art gallery made them even more beautiful somehow. The art on display was pretty spectacular in and of itself but the gardens all around and the way they are incorporated into the gallery display spaces and the overall Museum is amazing.

But be a judge for yourself from my photos below. They don't really do them justice but I think you will see the beauty. I would love to return here in all 4 seasons to see how the gardens change. Czytaj więcej

Samurai, Kami, Canals and a Castle
10 maja 2017, Japonia ⋅ 🌬 17 °C
Up early today, the forecast is good! Breakfast at the hotel then off for a brisk walk up by the lakefront and across lots of bridges to the Matsue Castle grounds. There are only 12 Castles remaining in Japan, most having been destroyed during the Meiji Restoration. I have visited 6 so far and will visit one or two more on this trip. Today it was the turn of Matsue Castle. Not the largest or most imposing - Himeji takes that accolade - but with a beauty and authenticity that immediatly make it one of my favorites. Inside is a veritable history lesson with many suits of samurai armour, minature models of Matsue in different eras and lots of original artefacts as you climb up the levels to the top floor. The top floor is open on all sides for some stunning views out over Matsue and environs. Really helps appriciate the city and its many canals.

The grounds also contain two Shrines, the most famous of which is the Jozen Inari Shrine filled with thousands of fox statues of every shape and size and some clearly very ancient. Its amazing to think that these places have been here for many hundreds of years, especially coming from N.Z. where almost nothing is more than 150 years old.

I take a boat ride around the canals in a boat whose roof lowers so it can get under low bridges. Lowers so much I have to lie almost flat on the floor of the boat. Everything in Japan is made for small flexible people not large inflexible ones like me. The bus seats are so small I have to stand even when the bus is empty :-)

I wander aimlessly around the city streets exploring and come across many Temples. In fuedal times they served a military purpose too, being situated in strategic spots that were easily defensible.... and many 'monks' were actually troops in disguise. There is a whole area of them the 'teramachi' among a network of canals that served to defend the city and make it difficult for attackers to get anywhere near the Castle.

After lunch I head off to visit two 'Art Museums' but they deserve a post all of thier own :-) Czytaj więcej

Izumo
26 marca 2014, Japonia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Mit dem Zug fuhren wir weiter nach Izumo. Dort wollten wir den Izumo-Taisha Schrein besichtigen, welcher als der älteste Shinto-Schrein von ganz Japan gilt.

Da an diesem Tag aber leider eine Zeremonie stattfand, durften wir die Hauptanlage nicht betreten. Deshalb sind wir einfach einmal um die gesamte Anlage herumgelaufen. Czytaj więcej
