Hello,Atsuko here. It’s vacation and Obon, but difficult to go out in Corona. William once recommended that if you climbed the 3333 stone steps, the highest in Japan, in Misato Town, you should also go see the temple. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=5970886576318058&id=123734781033296 It was not open when William and I went there before, but the other day, at the end of July, I went there and the temple was open and the priest explained lots things to me . The temple seems to have been recently renovated and is very beautiful. This Shaka-in temple seems to be very famous (so much so that Japan’s highest stone steps were built to get there). In the Edo period, it was the fourth most visited tourist site in Kumamoto prefecture, following Mt.Aso, Kumamoto castle, Shiranui. If you climb up the 3333 steps, pray, draw a fortune, and ring the bell, you may feel as if something good will happen to you or your wish will come true. Everytime,I climbed the 3333 steps on a hot day at the end of July, and the more I climbed, the cooler and fresher I felt with the sweat and the mountain breeze. Last summer :https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=5762133557193362&id=123734781033296 Also, as you climb, you can enjoy the refreshing summer and shade of the trees while listening different cicadas songs : Kuma-zemi, Abura-zemi, Niinii-zemi, Tsukutukuboushi, Higurashi, and so on. The priest of the temple at the end of the 3333 steps awaits you all. Hoping lots happy comes to you.ଘ(੭ˊ꒳ˋ)੭✧
