YUZURUHA Shrine

 

I went to Yuzuruha shrine today by bicycle. It took 20 minutes from my house. In Chinese character, this shrine is written “弓弦羽”. Haven’t you ever seen this name? You must know his name, Yuzuru Hanyuu. He is a champion of Sochi Olympic. This shrine became really famous when the Olympic began. Many people visited this shrine to pray for his performance. Mr.Hanyu also has been to this shrine before and he wrote a votive picture tablet then. I tried to find his one, but I wasn’t able to find it. However, I found many people wrote support massage for him.

 

 

I also found very tall, big and old tree. I was really surprised when I found it. I heard this tree is designated as Kobe city’s protection, so this tree must be amazing.

 

 

 

            After I went to Yuzuruha shrine, I enjoyed cycling after a long time. I didn’t apply sunscreen to my skin, so I got sunburned. However I had a great time. I want to play any kinds of sports more and more. I like sports both playing and watching. I’m planning to watch Kendo game of Hyogo prefecture in Jun, so I’m looking forward to seeing Kendo game!
