Watanabe Diary

Kangen festival was held on July 19th. The mystic beauty was overwhelming. I am so proud that the tradition has kept for 800 years.

A cute doorkeeper keeps watching me.

We are going to miss you.

Current Otorii was rebulid in 1875. It has 8 generations of history and has been protected by ancestors since it first built in Heian period (794-1192). There are several parts need to be fixed so the whole gate will be surrounded by scaffolding in a month. The construction period is expected to be finished by Auugst 2020.

Beautiful flowers make us smile.
