【Hyogo/Nishinomiya】A Temple That Curses Gods...?!

⛩️《Hyogo/Nishinomiya》

Visit Kannoji Temple at Mount Kabuto⛩️
At first glance, the name "Temple That Curses Gods" sounds quite shocking, but it turns out it doesn't mean that at all 🤭

Upon arrival, the temple's serene atmosphere against the backdrop of a clear blue sky is truly captivating. You'll be greeted by a staircase of about 100 steps, and once you climb it, a breathtaking panoramic view of the city awaits you✨✨

Interestingly, this spot is also known as a hidden gem for viewing the Yodogawa Fireworks Festival! Although the view is small, you can see the fireworks directly in front of you. I might consider coming here this year to check it out😍🎆

The temple also features adorable Jizo statues and exudes a calm and peaceful vibe, which is quite contrary to its name ☺️ (Though "adorable" might not be the most fitting description... haha)

It is said to bring blessings for business prosperity, so I made sure to pray sincerely🙏✨

The clear scenery and refreshing breeze make it a delightful place to visit, especially on a sunny day 😊

And on the way back, I had already decided to have lunch at Sakura Chaya🍵, a charming restaurant that feels like stepping back in time. It was truly soothing for the soul 🤭✨

I'll introduce Sakura Chaya in my next post 🥰🙌
