Saturday was a rainy day but I wanted to get out for at least a little while. It has been raining quite a lot this summer, first the rainy season, then a tropical storm.
I decided to go to Shizuoka Sengen Shrine. I've been there before and it had been crowded, but there were only a few other people there Saturday.
I think I remember you posting about this shrine before. If the rain is lite and I can think of a place to go I love to walk on a rainy day. There is something very serene and calming for me on a light rain day. My other alternative is to sit on the covered porch and read. xx, Carol
The shrine is lovely. Thank you for sharing. Rainy weekends are a great excuse to watch old movies. I like to walk in the rain too, so long as it is not too cold.
Recently, I mostly stay in on rainy days...I really need some peace and quiet! But it looks like you had a great day out. Do you know what these little bottles are for with the prayer boards? I don't think I've seen them anywhere else.
I mostly stay inside on rainy days but visiting this shrine is a much better idea. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI like to avoid crowds, so seeing the lovely shrine in the rain looks ideal.

ReplyDeleteWonderful place to visit and nice to see it without crowds of people. Sometimes I walk along the beach on rainy days but mostly I stay inside and sew.
ReplyDeleteI bet it was very peaceful and tranquil with only a few visitors there.

ReplyDeleteI can see why you wanted to visit -- it's beautiful and has such wonderful lines. So very peaceful. What a grand idea!
