Sacred Spring Shrine, Nagano Forest Walk

English

September deep in the Nagano forests — stumbled onto this tucked-away shrine spring with white offerings strung across the rocks. The whole place felt quiet and reverent, moss-covered stones whispering centuries of pilgrims who'd come seeking blessing from the water. Moments like these remind me why I love exploring Japan's forgotten corners.

９月の長野の森の奥、こんな素敵な水場に出会った！白い御幣が岩に結ばれて、ほんとに神聖な雰囲気だったな。苔むした岩々が何百年も多くの参拝者を見守ってきたんだろう。日本の隠れた場所との出会いが大好きな理由がここにある！
