When I picked the Omikuji and open it the omamory fall in the canal with a grill cover so my face was very sad coz I can't get it out but the person who saw what happened gave me a new one, thank you very much.

Visited this temple with a cute tanuki theme. The tanukis were dressed in yukatas…kawaii. The main temple was under scaffolding, sadly 😞 Goshuin piece of paper stamp was offered instead of directly stamping in the book. The street leading to the temple were lined with cute shops selling tanuki’s to bring home.

This temple is very famous for the old Japanese folktale called "'Bumbuku-Chagama." It was unlucky for me to know Thursday is off duty on this temple. I couldn't see tke real Chagama, Japanese tea pot.

A famous temple famous for the racoon in a distant part from the city Tatebayashi. The temple is great for seeing the cheery blossom. Also the temple contains a number of racoon statue with a pot shape. Along the way from the station to the temple there is a detailed story on the origin of this racoon.
