(place "A" is my house.)
Yachiyo is very near Tokyo Disney Land & SEA.
But, Yachiyo is a calm town. So, many elderly people live here.
I love a calm place. So I like Temples, Shrines, and Parks.
I would like to show a Shrine.
誉田八幡神社 (Konda Hachiman shrine)
This is the nearest shrine to my house.
I go to here every month. And I visit this shrine on New Year's Day.
It's very old wooden shrine. Maybe, it was built in 1800~ ?
There is old wood...
The oldest wood is 200 years.
It is 銀杏(Icho).
( in English is: Ginkgo = maidenhair tree. Ah..It's OK? .I can't find correct English name. XD sorry...)
Japan has so many Shrines & Temples.
If you visit japan, please see many places.
Thank you!
