If we exchange words with someone, then we should value that moment as ichigo ichie. I don’ t eat fish 魚は食べません Sakana wa tabemasen I don’ t eat meat 肉は食べません Niku wa tabemasen What is this? これはなんですか?

It was once forbidden for women to enter the Mt. Shichimen area. This ban was lifted after Tokugawa Ieyasu's concubine Omannokata was so awestruck by the beauty of Shiraito Waterfall that she began to pray there, opening the way for other women to follow. Keishin-in, a large temple on the summit of Mt. Shichimen, enshrines Daimyojin, the god who swore to protect Mt. Minobu and devotees of the Lotus Sutra. The monks here offer an easy-to-understand explanation of the history of Mt. Shichimen and the inner temple The approach to the summit from the Hagoromo area is a pilgrim trail along steep mountain paths. It takes four to five hours from the trailhead to the summit of Mt. Shichimen. The lush nature and beauty of Mt. Shichimen make the hike more than worth it. The trail is marked at 50 points, with Keishin-in temple being the fiftieth. Stop and rest at one of four mountain hermitages along the way. Surrounded by high mountains, deep valleys and magnificent forests, Akasawashuku is a village located on the pilgrim trail that connects Mt. Minobu, the center of Nichiren Shu Buddhism, with the sacred mountain of Shichimenzan Blbtbxbtivlv ibt mpoh cffo difsjtife cz ju gfx sftjefout/ Ifsf xf jouspevdf uif cftu tqput/ Keishin-in 13 13 12 12 14 14 2 7 10 10 3
