神社ブログを始めます！
主に千葉の神社やお寺がメインになります。
趣味と日記に近い感じですが、最近神社巡りが好きなので上手く伝えられたら良いなと思います。
Google mapでフォローしてる方々が日本人より海外の方の方が多いので
「海外の方にも魅力を伝えたいな」なんて思ってます！
I'm going to start a shrine blog!
Mainly shrines and temples in Chiba.
It's close to a hobby and a diary, but I like visiting shrines recently, so I hope I can convey it well.
Because there are more people overseas than Japanese people who follow on Google map
I think, "I want to convey the charm to overseas people too"!

Chiba Shrine, located in Chiba City, is a historic shrine believed to have been founded during the Kamakura period. The shrine is dedicated to the gods Betsu-raijin, Betsu-raijin Myōken Bosatsu, and Yama-no-kami. As the patron deity of the Chiba clan, it is believed to bring good fortune, ward off misfortunes, and promote prosperous businesses. The shrine grounds feature traditional structures such as a temizuya (purification fountain), stone steps, and the main hall. Various festivals are held throughout the year, including the New Year's "Hatsumōde" in January and the "Summer Festival" in August. Chiba Shrine, a 15-minute walk from Chiba Station, is popular among both tourists and locals. There are numerous shops around the shrine where visitors can enjoy souvenirs and meals.
神社の狛犬の口元を見ると右の狛犬が「あ」左の狛犬が「ん」と言ってます。
「あうん」【阿吽・阿呍】
始まりと終わりの意味、出す息と吸う息。
When you look at the mouths of the guardian dogs (komainu) at a shrine, you will notice that the right komainu's mouth is open, as if saying "a" (あ), while the left komainu's mouth is closed, as if saying "n" (ん).
"A-Un" [阿吽・阿呍]
This symbolizes the beginning and the end, as well as the breaths we exhale and inhale.
朱色の綺麗な神社です！繁華街を抜けた場所にあり平日は人も多くないのでゆったり出来ます。
初詣は凄い行列が出来る位の人気の神社になります。

It's a beautiful, vermilion-colored shrine! Located just beyond the bustling downtown area, it's not too crowded on weekdays, allowing for a leisurely visit.
During the New Year's visit, or "Hatsumōde," it becomes an incredibly popular shrine, with long lines of people waiting to pay their respects.
