Tochigi Futarasan Chugushi Shrine - 日光二荒山神社 - 4K Ultra HD
The Gateway to Mt Nantai, is how you could sum-up the Futarasan Chugushi Shrine. More modest that most of Nikko’s temples, the Futarasan Chugushi Shrine is in fact two places in one. The first, Chugushi Shrine, is located on the shores of the Chuzenji-ko with the Futarasan Shrine located on top of Mt Nantai 男体山 (2,486m), both of which were founded in 783 by the priest Shodo Shonin.
Unfortunately closed and inaccessible in winter the Futarasan Shrine will not be covered on this video today. We will make sure to give this place another try at the end of May when the trail opens again to visitors. However, we have to admit that the Chugushi Shrine covered in snow and empty of any kind of visitors gave us the chance to better enjoy the place, like a monk might do, when in total harmony with nature, with time frozen and where the inner beauty of the place can be revealed…
It’s yet another place that most people overlook when visiting Nikko and its surrounding area in winter, away from the crowds of tourists during the summer.

Located along the east coast of Izu towards Shimoda on route 135, Shimoda hides a gorgeous little shrine sitting right by the beach. Although it is rather small in size, the Shirahama Shrine is none the less full of surprises. Accessible by a small bridge, the shrine’s entrance will welcome you with a large red torii sitting next to a several centuries old tree which still stands proudly after being damaged many times by natural disasters. While Shirahama Shrine’s main hall is clearly visible to all, only the very curious visitors will find a small passage that will guide them deep into the shrine’s forest and to the top of its hill to enjoy yet another hall, heavily protected, where god is suppose to rest.
But by far the most famous part of this shrine is in fact located hundreds of meters away from it, on Shirahama Beach and where another red torii is standing still and proudly facing the wrath of the sea. And since we always like a good teaser, this very same torii and beach will be covered on another soon-to-come video of Shirahama!

Kanagawa Owakudani - 大涌谷 - 4K Ultra HD
Kanagawa Owakudani - 大涌谷 - 4K Ultra HD : Owakudani is an area around a crater created during Mt Hakone's last eruption some 3,000 years ago. Today Owakudani is still an active volcanic zone where sulfurous fumes, hot rivers and hot springs are heavily present. Despite being a very famous tourist attraction where were you can enjoy, in some safe zones, a gorgeous view of Owakudani fumes and Mt. Fuji, the place also offers you the chance to purchase eggs naturally cooked in one of Owakudani's hot water springs. The eggshells are blackened by the sulfur and are said, according to local folklore, to prolong your life by a good seven years.
Unfortunately and as for today, Owakudani is currently closed due to an increase in seismic activity that, according to scientists, could lead to a volcanic eruption.
