You are so lucky to be able to see something like this that is so old and has so much significance. Beautiful.

What a wonderful place, how fortunate you are to have it nearby. Here in the United States, and California for sure, we have so little history. How nice it must be to visit someplace that can take you back in time. I am fascinated with Shinto and adore Sumo.
Thank you Nobu!
I love Japan...I always loved visiting the shrines when I was a kid.
Keep up the great work!
What a nice temple!! How I wish one day to visit those amaizing and ancient places!!
It must be so quiet! And it's so different from any other places, so unique, so Japan! I'd love to be there at times, when I feel the world is moving too quickly around me!
A beautiful old shrine! I loved visiting places like this when I lived in Japan.

Thanks all.
As you say, usually it is calm.
