Miho no Matsubara (三保の松原 Miho Pine Grove)

Miho no Matsubara is a 7 km long seashore lined with pine trees in the Shizuoka Prefecture of Shizuoka on the island of Honshu in Japan. Miho no Matsubara is the site of the Legend of Hagoromo (The Feathered Robe) which tells of a celestial being who left her feathered robe on a pine tree so she could bathe in the water there. A fisherman named Hakuryo took the feathered robe and refused to return it until she danced for him. A statue of Hakuryo watching the dance is at the entrance to the park.

Hōjūjidono and Sanjūsangen-dō in Kyōto, Japan

The Hōjūjidono in the Higashiyama district of Kyōto, Japan was the home of the Cloistered Emperor Shirakawa II, and Sanjūsangen-d is a Buddhist temple on the site, originally built in 1164 for Emperor Shirakawa.

Sanjūsangen-dō is famous for its long hondō (main hall) containing 1001 sculptures of standing Thousand-armed Kannon. Sculptures also include 28 standing attendants, a statue of Fūjin (Japanese god of the wind), a statue of Raijin (Japanese god of thunder), and a huge seated statue of Thousand-armed Kannon. Visitors were asked not to take photographs inside the temple, and so I have no pictures of these incredible sculptures.

Gardens and Interiors of Nijō Castle in Kyōto, Japan

Nijō Castle is located in Kyōto, Japan was built for Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shōgun, but the structure wasn’t completed until 1621, ten years after Tokugawa Ieyasu’s death. Nijō Castle did serve as the Kyōto residence for the third shōgun and the shōguns who followed.

The Ninomaru Palace is divided into several rooms for guests, for audiences with the shogun, and for the shogun‘s residence. The floors connecting the rooms where guests were allowed to linger make chirping noises when walked upon when the flooring nails scrape against the wood. Legend says that these “nightingale floors” serve to provide warning that someone is moving about the palace.
