PHƯƠNG PHAN in the last week

Very peaceful place. You can walk around the place. Not crowded at the normal times but could be in the holiday.

A MASSIVE place, we had no time to appreciate it all to the fullest, will be back soon. Either by train or car , easy access. Even on a cold Monday quite many people were there, I reckon it's quite lively on weekends. Bring a plastic back with some soil from a place you are currently living to exchange for some BLESSED PILE in the end of the complex behind the central construction. If you come by car, there is free parking right across from the science museum (google map) which is another place to visit once there. And surely try AMAZING YUMMY Soft 🍦 (very expensive but worthwhile), sold next to the Starbucks that is in front of the main GATE of this complex.

We wish we could spend more time exploring the place. It's truly a magnificent place. As the weather was rather cold,we had to shorten our walk and hurried back.

Izumo Shrine is renowned in Japan. What captivates visitors even more is the massive knot tied to the Shrine. Additionally, numerous rabbit statues are scattered throughout, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the journey. Moreover, the worship ritual is distinct from others—two worships, four claps, and one bow. For those who believe in mysterious powers, there's the option to purchase omamori or draw lots.

The first visit will stay in my mind for the rest of my life. To appreciate and begin to understand the history, you need to spend some time here. The energy feels different than anywhere else, and the deeper you look the more there is to learn. One of my favorite places in the world
