Omi Shrine

Nice temple in the forest. There's a clock museum but only in Japanese. Easy access with the tramway

Ohmi Jingu Shrine is a place that defies emotional understanding unless you have actually been there. Words are relatively easy to convey and can be used to convey more simplistic emotions, but what words can convey an emotional context that I have never experienced but yet will forever change me in ways I have yet to fully understand.

Underrated secret, very quiet and serene beautiful walk through the forest before. Not busy when I went. A must place for karuta fans or chihayafuru. You definitely feel like the characters when you are looking up those stairs.

It is an entrance-fee-free shrine, with rather contemporary religious/ shrine building structure. Outside the Shrine, there is a quasi-forest style yard which can be attractive for sunny weather, although it can be somewhat dark in the cloudy weather because it has so many tall trees. Inside the Shrine, the pebble stone floor is well maintained for being Zen-style yard, although visitors may not sense its beauty and just step on it. The Shrine is famous for the religious praying and celebration of new baby at age 1 and, then, age 3, 5, and 7. That is the reason why many parents would bring their babies and young child/children to the Shrine for the religious service.

We visit this shrine last time for the first visit or (Hatsunode) The japanese tradition. Even though there’s a fear to the corona virus people,locals are falling in line others forgetting the social distances to each other because the shrine is crowded.
