Katchaman’s Amazing JAPAN guide at Tokyo Fuchu city Power Spot [Sacred place] “Ohkunitama Shrine[大國魂神社・東京都府中市] in Summer”

katchaman — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 09:54:28 +0000

I went to Ohkunitama Shrine[大國魂神社] on July. The shrine was reportedly established in the year of 111 (A.D.) by a local ruler. The main god enshrined here is Ohkunitama or Ohkuninushi, who is one of the main gods in the Shinto religion. Ohkunitama is believed to be a great god who initiated the reclamation of the country and taught local people ways of living including agriculture, housing , closing and medicine. Thus, he was regarded as the founder of the Musashi region (Fuchu city is in this area), and was respected as protecting people there. Initially, local leaders (or powerful clans) (Kuninomiyatsuko) took care of the shrine, but after the year 645, the Yamato Imperial Government sent Kokushi (a government official appointed by the central government) to stay at the shrine and rule over the region. The shrine therefore played a role of a political center as well as religious in ancient times. Later, the shrine’s political nature was gradually diluted, and it has served a lot of people coming to pray for good fortune until this date.

Access: We can take the Keio line, and take off Fuchu station. Ohkunitama Shrine is within a 7 minute walk to the Fuchu station (Keio line).

Bicycle Tour Mt. Fuji Ecocycling & JCN One Day Tour - Tokyo to Mt. Fuji

Shigehiro — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 01:39:48 +0000

On Sunday, September 7th, Mt. Fuji Ecocyling will be held. In connection with this event, Japan Cycling Navigator offers an optional tour to cycle from Tokyo to Fuji on Saturday, September 6th, the preceding day. This is a result of the collaboration between the Foundation of Japan Cycling Association, one of the organizers of the Mt. Fuji Ecocycling event, and JCN. We’ll take you from Tokyo to the foot of Mt. Fuji on the safer route that we chose for this event. Once you get out of the metropolitan area, you will be less annoyed by the traffic and will enjoy beautiful scenery. A support car will be available so that you can travel light while you ride your bike. The “JCN One Day Tour - Tokyo to Mt. Fuji” - nicely complements “Mt. Fuji Ecocycling” to make your expedition even more ecological.

Japan’s Annual Penis Festival (SFW) - Kanamara Matsuri

Bill Belew — Tue, 20 May 2008 16:44:08 +0000

And I thought that Poop Museum might be the last thing I have never seen in Japan.

How about a penis festival that’s safe for work?

Absolutely.

I have been to shrines dedicated to the penis in Japan. But, gosh, I seemed to have missed out on the festival dedicated to the Phallus.

If 10’s of thousands of people, men, women, children, and such will gather in broad daylight to celebrate…it must be safe for work, right?

It’s April - bring out the penises.

As a friend of mine used to say - good googey moogey.

Pink, black, wooden (is this where the term comes from?), steel, (yeah, fellows, dream on), plastic, skewed (Ouch!), frozen, decorated, sucking, licking, and all in good fun.

What’d you do at the festival?

Yeah! Try doing that in America.

Lots of more pix at Japan Photo Guide.

Tokyo garden museum

ayumi_ito — Tue, 20 May 2008 02:14:09 +0000

Tokyo garden museum is place where you can feel somewhere different from Tokyo in the central of the city.

It is located in Shirogane-dai that is famous for expensive area. The area is expanding 35,358.28㎡ in that location.

The museum has large building that built for house of loyal family called Asakanomiya in 1933.
After leaving Asakanomiya, it had used as gesthouse of Minister of foreign affairs, official residence of Primime Minister etc.

It was 24 years ago that the building had changed as a museum.

Unfortunatelly, I could not entre the building when I visited however, there are still stuffs that worth to see.
In the garden, there are some unique statues that seems mention anything for me.

The reason why I didn’t get any idea from them was that those design were come from foreign designers such as
Henri Rapin (1873-1939), Ivan-Leon Branchot(1868-1947) and Rene Lalique(1860-1945).

They are French designers who helped to design when the museum had built.

These are the statutes….
