先週、1泊2日で和歌山へ。
Last week, I went on a trip to Wakayama.
途中、S.Aで昼ごはん
Lunch at a service area on the highway
和歌山ラーメンとしらす丼
ベタな組み合わせ
Wakayama ramen and whitebait rice bowl: a classic combination
その後、白浜にいく途中に雨の中、
Afterwards, on the way to Shirahama in the rain
紀州東照宮へ
I went to Kishu Toshogu Shrine.
以前から、嫁が日光東照宮へ行きたがっているのですが
My wife has been wanting to go to Nikko Toshogu Shrine for a while now.
日光、大阪からは遠いので御三家の紀州の方へ
Nikko is far from Osaka, so we went to Kishu Toshogu Shrine.
108段の階段
108 steps
葵の家紋
Aoi family crest
階段を上りきって振り向くと
I climbed the stairs and turned around,
こんな感じ
A view like this
晴れていたらもっときれいな景色な筈
If it had been sunny, the scenery would have been even more beautiful.
社務所で御朱印やお守りを見ていると、
While I was looking at the goshuin and omamori charms at the shrine office,
ボランティア？のおじさんがタダで案内をしてくれると言うので、お言葉に甘えてみた。
A volunteer man offered to guide us for free, so we decided to take him up on his offer.
旅行に行くと、声をかけられたり、良くしてもらったり、絡まれたり？ということが頻繁にある二人
When we travel, we are often greeted, treated well, and even harassed.
楽しいから良いけど。
It's fun so it's okay
本殿の中は撮影禁止だが、眠り猫や左甚五郎の彫刻などがあり、東照宮感はかなりある、東照宮だけど。
Photography is prohibited inside the main hall, but there are sculptures of sleeping cats and Hidari Jingoro, and it looks like Toshogu Shrine, but it is Toshogu Shrine.
今度は快晴の日に来てみたい。
I'd like to come again on a sunny day.
