Forgotten Japanese Shinto shrine 忘れられていた日本の神社 - Abandoned Japan 日本の廃墟
Shinto is one of the two major religions of Japan (the other is Buddhism). Shinto is often considered to be the native religion of Japan, and is as old as Japan itself. The name Shinto means the way of the gods. Shinto is a pantheistic religion, in which many thousands of major and minor gods are thought to exist. The Japanese have built thousands of shrines (jinja) throughout the country to honor and worship these gods. Some shrines are huge and are devoted to important deities. Other shrines are small and may be easily missed when strolling along roads in the countryside.
Shinto gods are called kami. Kami are thought to have influence on human affairs, and for this reason many Japanese make regular pilgrimage to community shrines in order to offer prayers to local kami. The act of prayer involves approaching the shrine structure, passing through the gate-like torii, cleansing the hands and mouth with water and possibly ascending stairs to the main entrance of the shrine. Usually without entering the shrine the worshipper will throw some coins into a stone or wooden collection box and then rattle the suzu bell which is at the top of a long hemp rope. The worshiper grabs hold of the rope and shakes it back and forth causing the copper bell at the top to rattle. This is thought to get the attention of the shrine god. The worshipper then bows twice, claps his or her hands twice and then bows again. In addition, the worshipper may clasp their hands together in silent prayer. Shintoism and Buddhism have managed to find a comfortable coexistence in Japan. Evidence of this harmonious relationship is found in the fact that that most Japanese are married in a Shinto shrine, but buried by a Buddhist priest.

THE PATH OF WILDNESS
The Path of Wildness is easy to find
The course of a stream
Leaves blown in the wind
A beast's track through the brush
And the direction of our first inclination
The Path of Wildness is an answer and response to a prescribed way of life which may leave some individuals with a sense that their living is little more than a series of pre-determined, step-like episodes between birth and death. The stages of living between these events: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, parenthood and senior are themselves natural and in accord with the needs of the species and most individuals. Many find their satisfaction in living this course and to these individuals I have little or nothing to say. Others though long for something more; something innate, genetic and seemingly calling. Adventure and change can give a degree of satisfaction and relief yet even these may seem too tame. To those who feel drawn to something beyond the entertainment and stimulation of senses I offer a walk along The Path of Wildness. Don't bother penciling the event in your schedule, preparing a pack with goodies and supplies or even inviting a friend along, for this experience is along the course of your first inclination and you must surely always go alone.

AJ and I riding the Bandit at Yomiuri land. This roller coaster is probably one of the longest I've been on and pulls some good G's. AJ didn't like it much but made it without any fuss.
Summer Ride with my Enduro Hardtail
It's summer now here in Japan and i decided to go for a ride. It's really HOT! I think this is a better way to train to improve my stamina.
It was really tough climbing and pushing my bike.
There were lots of insects and spiders during summer especially the presence of the asian giant hornet which I fear a lot. Downhill is really fun with my #nukeprooscout. I can descend faster with tons of confidence. But sometimes confidence can't promise that worst things won't happen like crashing. Although it's a part of this sport but I still need to be careful.

Tokyo2020自転車競技（ロード）テストイベント20190721多摩市
Tokyo2020自転車競技（ロード）テストイベント20190721多摩市内を選手たちが楽しそうに通過していく様子をご覧ください。テストイベントということもあるのでしょうか！？
みなさん、余裕しゃくしゃくという感じでした。
日本選手を少なくとも３人確認しましたよ。優勝できるといいですね。
この道は、普段、５系統のバス路線で数分おきに多摩センター駅との間を往復していますが、誰一人不平不満を漏らすことなくオリンピックの競技を身近に観れることに喜んでいるようです。交通規制の警察官や関係者などの多さにびっくりです。ヘリまで飛んで。。。来年も観にこようと。
