๐ฟ๐ Hanazono Shrine ๐ธ๐บ
๐ฟ๐This shrine has been the protector of Shinjuku since the Edo period,๐ฟ๐ ๐ฟ๐ surrounded by modern architecture as if connecting the past and present through the torii gate and stone steps. ๐ฟ๐Ascending the steps, one finds the shrine's main hall, ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฟ๐coated in a glossy red lacquer. People toss coins, ring bells, ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฟ๐clap their hands, and bow in prayer for wealth and romantic fortunes. ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฟ๐A few white plum blossoms bloom beside the hall, ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฟ๐their subtle fragrance adding a touch of mystery to the night. #Travel #Journey #TravelGuide ๐ผ๐ฎ๏ธ๐ธ
