伊勢神宮 内宮 Ise Jingu Naiku

さてさて、最終目的地　伊勢神宮　内宮に到着！
流石は天皇陛下もお参りするお伊勢さん！広いわ～。
っつーか、人の多い事。
昨日26日は閉鎖。本日27日も10～13時のみの参拝可という事で
どっと押し寄せてました。まぁ、ワシらもその一人ですが・・・。
内宮内が広いのは仕方無いのですが、おかげ横丁が長い。長過ぎる。
全く買い物をする気の無いワシにとっては無駄な道のり以外の何物でも
無いわけよ。
腰が痛くなったわ。
それにしても去年式年遷宮されたばかりですから、木材が新しくて
日焼けして無い社殿ってのは見られる期間が限られているからホント良かったです。

Hi! I could finally arrive at Ise Jingu Naiku!

This shrine is big enough that his majesty the emperor visited here.

By the way, you may see too many of people.

Yesterday, 26^th, was closed and also today, only 10 to 13 o’clock we can pay homage so lots of people came here.

Yes, we are also the one of the people though….

I can understand the Naiku area is so big but I didn’t expect Okage Yokocho which is shops’ load for worshiper, is too long.

You know, I don’t buy anything, even souvenir, so it is absolutely wasting time and energy to walk the long load for me.

I got waist pain because of the long walking.

The woods, using to the shrine, is very new which haven’t got sunburn yet, because the shrine was rebuilt last year.

We can see the new wooden shrine only soon after rebuilding so it was very nice experience for me. 

伊勢神宮 外宮 Ise Jingu Gegu

本日は伊勢神宮参拝。
まずは外宮から。先に掲載してますが天皇陛下が丁度参拝されていて超ラッキー！
ご存知　伊勢神宮は昨年式年遷宮されましたよね～。
そんな訳で外宮から掲載させて頂きますが遷宮されたお宮と前のお宮の両方を参拝
させて頂きました。

Today, I’m going to pay homage at Ise Jungu.

We visited from Gegu.

As I’ve already told you in this blog when we visit Gegu, his Majesty the Emperor also visit here so it was very good opportunity for me!

You may know last year Ise Jingu had “Shikinen Sengu”, right?

“Shikinen Sengu” meaning is construction of a new shrine and transfer of the enshrined object from the old to new.

I’ll show you from Gegu and paid homage at new and old shrine both this time.

賢島 宝生苑 Kashikoshima Island Hojoen

さてさて今回の愛知、三重観光の宿泊は三重県志摩市賢島　近鉄リゾート宝生苑。
嫁チョイスでどうかな～？って思っていましたが・・・。
メチャクチャ良い。いやマジかっ！ってくらいコストパフォーマンス最高！
お風呂がデカイっ！露天風呂も2つも有るんよ。お湯もヌルっとしてお肌ツルツル。
これで1泊2食￥12,800は安いわ～。
建屋は綺麗で広くて滝なんかも流れててよ～。海も目の前さ～。
伊勢から車で約40分。ここはお勧めだわ～。

We are coming Aichi and Mie prefecture tour and staying Kintetsu Resort Hojoen in Mie Shima city Kasikoshima Island.

My wife has chosen this Onsen hotel so I wonder good or not…

But it was really good! Unbelievably good!

It is very high cost performance!

There were very big bath tabs, 2 outside bathes and the hot spring water was very mild so my skin became very smooth touch.

The price 1night 2 meals is JPY12,800. Don’t you think it is cheap?

The building was clean, big and there was water fall too.

In front of it, ocean is located.

It takes about 40 minutes from Ise by car.

I recommend this hotel to you so if you have chance to go Ise, please try this hotel one night.

天皇陛下 His Majesty the Emperor

本日27日は伊勢神宮を参拝。
実は一昨日から天皇陛下が伊勢に参拝されており、伊勢神宮　内宮は昨日一日閉鎖されて
いたらしいです。私達は元々本日お伊勢さん内宮、外宮を参拝させて頂くつもりで影響無し。
今朝、外宮へ行ってみると沢山の警察官や報道陣。
昨日陛下が伊勢神宮参拝されているのはニュースで知っていたが、まさかまだ伊勢に
御滞在中？？？
と言う事で警察官に「天皇陛下がいらっしゃるのですか？」と聞いてみたら
「はい、10時頃に内宮を出発し外宮へ参られますよ。」との事。
内宮から外宮まで車で約10～15分。天皇陛下の車列は渋滞知らずだろうから11時半には
間違い無く到着するな。
よし！天皇陛下待ち決定！

非常に解り難いと思いますが、2台目　窓の空いている後部座席にいらっしゃるのが
平成天皇陛下です。感動～～～～っ！
その距離約15ｍ程度。目の前を通っていかれましたが、この目で確りとお顔を拝見したくて
一番良いタイミングでは写真撮影しませんでした。
血行宜しく本当にお優しそうなお顔でした。いやぁ、ホント感動、感激しました～っ！

Today 27th, we pay homage at Ise Jingu.

The fact that His Majesty the Emperor was visiting Ise from the day before yesterday so yesterday seems to be all day closed Ise Jingu Naiku.

Originally our schedule of visiting Ise Naiku and Gegu is today so we don’t get any affection from Emperor visiting.

When we got Gegu this morning, there are lots of polices and reporters.

I knew Emperor was paying homage Ise Jungu yesterday from news but he is still staying Ise???

So I asked police “Is Emperor coming today too?”.

He said “Yes, his Majesty will leave Naiku on 10 o’clock and come here”.

The way from Naiku to Gegu takes about 10 to 15 minutes by car.

Car line of his Majesty may never go into holdup so I assume the car must get here by 11:30.

Yes! I decided to wait his Majesty the Emperor!

It is very difficult to find but it is his Majesty the Emperor, sitting at back sheet, opening window, in second car.

I was so~~ impressed!!!!

The car is going through in front of me and the distance was about 15m.

I wanted to see his Majesty face with my eyes steadily so I couldn’t take pictures in the best timing.

The face was looks very good blood circulation and so kindhearted.

I was really impressed and inspired!!!! 

熱田神宮 Atsuta Jingu

５年に一度平日５連休が貰える制度が有り、ワシは先週金曜日から今週一杯の10連休中。
嫁さんも生産調整で昨日から６連休。
そんな訳で昨日２６日から一泊２日で愛知、三重方面へ観光に行って来ました。
まず最初に訪れたのが熱田神宮。
名古屋のド真ん中に有り天照大神、草薙の剣を御神体として祀っております。
出雲大社、伊勢神宮に並ぶ日本有数の神宮という事でお参りして来ました。
昼食は、やはり名物をという事で嫁は味噌煮込みうどん、私は味噌カツを頂きました。
味噌が甘くなくて結構美味しかったですよ。ただ、これで￥950はちょっと高いかな。

There is company system I can get 5days off on weekday every 5 years so I’m during the 10days off from last Friday.

And also my wife is 6days off from yesterday because of factory production control.

So we were going to Aichi and Mie prefecture tour 2days 1 night from yesterday 26^th.

Our first visiting is Atsuta Jingu.

It is located in center of Nagoya city and enshrines Amaterasu Ohmikami and Kusanagi sword as deity.

This shrine is very famous in Japan as same as Izumo Taisha and Ise Jingu so I visited.

At lunch, we wanted to eat local special food so she has eaten Miso stew Udon and I eaten Miso fried pork.

It was good because the Miso is not so sweet but the price JPY950 is little bit expensive, I think.

平等院鳳凰堂 Byodoin Hoohdo

弟が神戸で一日時間が有るっつーもんで、じゃ、京都でも行くか？
前々から平等院鳳凰堂に行ってみたかったので、丁度いいわ。
って事で嫁と三人で行って来ました。
天気も良くってね～。
って俺しか写真写ってねーじゃねか!?

さてさて平等院鳳凰堂と言えば10円玉だよね～。
「うんうん、間違い無い。同じだ。」と確認。当たり前だっつーのっ！

今月31日まで改修工事をしていて拝観料が通常700円のところが300円！
鳳凰堂の中には入れなかったけど、全然満足。ってか得した気分ですわ。

My young brother was one day free in Kobe so I offered him going to Kyoto.

I’ve wanted to go Byodoin Hoohdo from before so it was good chance of me.

So I went to there with my brother and wife.

The weather was so fine.

Oh~! Only me in a picture!

Anyway, you may know this temple is famous for JPY10 coin, right?

I confirmed “yes, it is absolutely same with the coin”.

Of cause it must be same!

This temple is repairing till 31st Mar so the admission fee is only JPY300, the original fee is JPY700 though.

I couldn’t go inside of the Hoohdo but I could really satisfy with the price because important thing is checking the outside of the temple for me so I could save money a little.

オリエント Orient

メタルバンドの腕時計が欲しいと思い色々調査する事１年。
時計と言えばロレックス、オメガ、タグホイヤーなどなど有名メーカーは沢山あるけど
ロレックスはデザインが全く好きになれない。オメガ、タグホイヤーはスピマス、カレラと
カッコ良いのが有るけどメカニカルがOEMって・・・。

そこで目を付けたのがMade in Japan　セイコー。
グランドセイコー(GS)って知ってるか？
世界で唯一セイコーだけのメカニカル　スプリングドライブ！
秒針の動きが超滑らかでヤバイっ！しかもデザインも非常にシンプルで俺好み。
決して安くないけど許容範囲って事で東京に現物を見に先日行って来ました。
しかし・・・・、見れば見るほどシンプル過ぎる・・・。何かが足りない・・。

新宿で百貨店を渡り歩く事4時間。結局購入には至らず、フラっとビックカメラに
行ってみると、おっ！と目を惹いたのがこれ、オリエント　WZ0051DJ！
オリエントはセイコー、シチズンに次ぐ第３の純日本メーカー。
GSに比べるとお値段は数分の一。メカニカルは自動巻きですが納得の購入。
購入したのはネットでもビックカメラでもありません。
東京の井上時計店。どこやねん！それ！ってなると思いますが、
こちらの時計店　現金値引きではネット、ビックカメラ以上。

ちょっと良い時計を買いたいと思ってる人は、是非一度価格を聞いてみて。

I was looking for metal band watch for one year.

There are lots of famous watch makers in the world, Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer and etc, but I don’t like Rolex design.

Omega and TAG Heuer have good design watches, Speedmaster and Carrera, but the mechanicals are OEM maybe…   

So I’ve noticed made in Japan maker “SEIKO”.

Do you know Grand SEIKO(GS)?

Only SEIKO in the world can produce mechanical “Spring drive”!

Second hand moves so smoothly! It’s so great and absolutely different with the other Automatic movements.

And also the design is so simple which is my taste.

You know, it is not cheap but this time I want to get it so I’ve been Tokyo for check the spot.

I’ve looked the watch again and again and I was awake the design is too simple…

It is something short.

I’ve walked around departments at Shinjuku for 4 hours and finally, I’ve decided not to buy it.

After that, I’ve just stopped at Big Camera for see other watches and I found this Orient WZ0051DJ!

Orient is the third Japanese watch maker after SEIKO and Citizen.

The price is a fraction of GS and the mechanical is Automatic but I’ve bought it satisfactorily.

I haven't bought this neither in mail order nor Big Camera.

I’ve bought this from Inoue watch in Tokyo!

You may think where the shop is???? But the shop gives me price discount much more than mail order and Big Camera.

If you want to buy little good watch, please ask the price to the shop.
