Futarasan Shrine close to Chuzenji lake

This Futarasan Shrine is located close to the Chuzenji Lake and has a happiness trail with a lot of written advices (in Japanese) to live a more harmonious life (I was lucky to have a translator with me)! It is also the entrance to a mountain climbing area (Nantai mountain).

Gaijin San

Since my better half is Japanese I often have the chance to travel to Japan. I grew fond over time of this magnificent country. I thought of sharing with you some places worth visiting in this little but growing travel guide to Japan. I try to show with images what I can't express with words. I hope you may find here some inspiration! For those who wonder, I chose the moniker Gaijin-San after being called like this by a waitress at a grilled eel restaurant. "Gaijin" means foreigner and "San" is a honorific suffix in Japanese.
