Katori Jingu Shrine is amazing! I found out about this place through Katori's official English Facebook page, Little Edo Sawara. They talk about the history of the shrine and have amazing pictures (links below) and I had been wanting to come here for a while now! The path up to the shrine was beautiful and at the top of the path is this pond which reflects the nature around it. It was so peaceful and was such a nice place to relax. The shrine itself was black, which was really cool because I had never seen a black shrine before! There weren't too many people, which is a shame because it's a very nice shrine, but also kind of nice because it made it feel less touristy and more like the true traditional Japan, surrounded by nature. There were also deer behind the shrine! If you like to explore, there are all of these nooks and crannies to go through and you can discover all sorts of things, which was fun! Getting there, though, was a bit difficult. There are no trains or busses that really go there, so most people take taxis or walk, which takes about an hour from Sawara Station or Katori Station. I opted for walking so that I could see the countryside, but apparently, they offer electric bikes at the tourism association for 500 yen (not confirmed)! Anyways, highly recommend this place. *Little Edo Sawara Links* History: https://www.facebook.com/little.edo.sawara/posts/145728186809248 Autumn: https://www.facebook.com/little.edo.sawara/posts/153844135997653 Cherry Blossoms: https://www.facebook.com/little.edo.sawara/posts/222310249151041
