JAPAN Wakayama Shingu 1

Kumano River Boat Tour - Shingu City

When visiting Shingu City, one must look into the ancient transportation of one of the most revered sites in the Wakayama Area

The Kumano River is a dominate landmark in the Kumano region running from North to South down the center of the Kii Peninsula. It served as a vital transportation link for the communities in the mountains and pilgrims past. Traditionally pilgrims travelled by boat from Kumano Hongu Taisha to Kumano Hayatama Taisha at the mouth of the river.

This sacred waterway is also considered an object of worship. Because of its spiritual aspects and use as part of the Nakahechi section of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route, it was included as UNESCO World Heritage in the property Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountains Range.

6 a.m. onsen furo; 7 a.m. breakfast. Today is moving to Shingu day. Another 1600-yen cab ride to the train station where I had a 2-hour wait. I should have checked the train schedule. I got to the station just as a train to Shingu came in. Since it took a few minutes to get my ticket and climb over to the next track over, I missed that one! Hence the long wait. Lots of Panda related material around, I’m not sure why. When trains leave, the station workers put on a panda head glove on and wave the panda to departing trains! Wish I thought fast enough to get a video of that. I snoozed, I “loozed”. Kekekeke : ) Finally, the next train came and I had a nice 90+ minute train ride to Shingu. I have gone from the western shores of the Kii peninsular, Shirahama, to the eastern shores, Shingu. Lots of great scenery along the way as well as the regular common city/town and forest sights which I left in the video. I was going to take them out but I figure I’d give y’all the real picture of this train ride. That is, there is this mixture of regular sights and nice sceneries. There are three famous Shrines in this eastern area. The Hayatama Taisha, Nachi Taisha and Hongu Taisha shrines. These shrines have long histories and have been mentioned going back to Japanese mythological times. Of course the actual buildings we see today have been renovated many times over the years. This whole area has been a heavily trod pilgrimage site with trails connecting the shrines along with shrines/temples in Mount Koya, Ominesan and Yoshino. All the shrines, treasures, trails, etc have been designated part of a UNESCO designated world heritage site. This whole area has plenty scenic spots and onsens as well and it is recommended one rent a car to see the most. I have an international driver’s license but I don’t feel like driving cars with steering on the wrong side of the car on this trip. So I’ll try to get as much as I can on train, foot and bus.
Shingu, on the video map is where Hayatama Taisha and where I picked as my base for my BURA-BURA i.e., exploration activities which is played daily by “ear”. I dropped off my junks at the hotel and since it was too early to check in, went BURA-BURA. After a few minutes, I said to myself, hmmmmmm, everything looks familiar. Yep, I went in a circle and I don’t know where I made that turn. Anyways, good exercise! I finally made it to Hayatama Taisha. Then ran into castle ruins so I had to explore that! I think it was called Tankaku Castle 丹鶴城. Lot’s of stone ankle-twisting steps leading up the where a castle used to be. This castle was leveled during the Meiji restoration. Was about 3 p.m. so I went to the hotel to check in. Checked the internet for a bit then went downstairs in the lobby to what looked like a hotel izakaya for a dinner snack. No English menu, the lady didn’t speak English and I don’t speak much Japanese but I got something ordered. And then called it a day.

Usa Jingu - Oita - 宇佐神宮 - 4K Ultra HD

Also known as Usa Hachimangu or 宇佐八幡宮 in Japanese, is a Shinto shrine located in the city of Usa in Oita prefecture. Founded during the Nara period Usa Jingu has a complex history.
Indeed it is believed that the first foundation of the shrine took place during the Wado era (708-714). Later in 779 a temple called Miroku-ji was built next to Usa Jingu’s first foundation creating a mixed complex now known as Usa Hachimangu-ji or the Usa Hachiman Shrine Temple making the first Shinto and Buddhist temple in Japan. It was in 1868 that the Buddhist part of Usa Hachimangu-ji was removed in order to comply the Shinbutsu Bunri or the Kami and Buddhas Separation Act where Buddhism was considered as a foreign imported religion and influence against the Japanese native Shinto religion.

Usa Jingu suffered many attacks in the past and was totally destroyed in the 16th century by the lord of Funai Otomo Yoshishige a Christian sympathizer.

Français
Egalement connu comme Usa Hachimangu, ou 宇佐八幡宮 en japonais, Usa Jingu est un sanctuaire Shinto situé dans la ville d’Usa, dans la préfecture d’Oita. Fondé durant l’ère Nara, Usa Jingu a une histoire bien complexe. En effet, on raconte que la toute première fondation du sanctuaire fut réalisée pendant l'ère Wado (708-714). Plus tard en 779, un temple nommé Mitoku-ji a été construit à côté d’Usa Jingu, ce qui donna naissance à un complexe réunissant les deux constructions connu de nos jour comme Usa Hachimangu-ji, ou le sanctuaire du temple d’Usa Hachiman, ce qui fut le premier temple à la fois Shinto et Bouddhiste du Japon. C’est en 1868 que la partie bouddhiste fut retirée afin de répondre aux normes du Shinbutsu Bunri ou l’Acte de séparation du Kami et du Bouddha où le bouddhisme fut alors considéré comme un mouvement et une religion étrangère importée défiant la religion Shinto authentique du Japon.

Usa Jingu a souffert de multiples attaques par le passé et fut totalement détruit au cours du 16ème siècle par le seigneur de Funai Otomo Yoshishige, un sympathisant chrétien.

DYA717 Japan May 30, 2017 Matsusaka

DYA717 May 30, 2017 Kumano
Breakfast at 7 a.m. Back to a buffet. It seems the hotel has more guests now – lots of business men and other blue collar working folks. I decided to make use of my railpass and check out the coast line going up from Shingu to Nagoya so I jumped on the Nagoya bound train. Getting to Shingu from Shirahama I saw some spectacular coastal views. Going up the railroad tracks from Shingu, there were fewer views as the tracks are more inland and lots of buildings and trees block out the views. Would be better to drive if one wants to see more coastal views. After 2+ hours, I dropped off at Matsusaka city. This would have cost me 7170-yen or roughly $65. Nice quiet town with many Edo period merchant buildings nicely preserved. Stopped at a place when I saw this nice old looking building with the sign “LUNCH” spelled “ランチ”. Had to take off shoes and I was led to a tatami room. Would have had to sit on the floor but knowing I’m a westerner, they offered one of the low chairs. Found out this place was a ryokan, a Japanese lodging place (hotel) that opens up its restaurant to the public. Continued BURA-BURA and got to the Matsusaka castle ruins park. Did the usual climbing up/down the old castle stone steps and looked at various views of the city. Walked around town heading back to the train along different streets and ran into a row of those old Edo styled buildings. Caught the 2:16 p.m. train back – another 2+ hours/7170-yen ride to Shingu and called it a day.
