Care to see what life looked like back when people coexisted with nature? 🌳⛩
In the forests of Shizuoka Prefecture you’ll find the quaint Okuni Shrine nestled amongst the greenery. The shrine’s tradition states that it was established all the way back in the 6th century!
The surrounding cypress forest has been meticulously maintained. This shows off the deep connection between traditional Japanese spirituality and the preservation of the natural world. And, don’t miss your chance for a wonderful photo of the vibrantly painted red bridge set against the beautiful verdant forest!
