Hiking Mount Yuzuruhasan, Hyogo Japan (Kansai’s best 100 mountains, #34)
Mount Yuzuruhasan (Elevation:608m)
Location: Hyogo Prefecture, Minamiawaji city (Day trip from Kobe, Osaka).
(Google Map: )
Walking time: 3hrs 30mins
Distance: 10.3kms total
Hiking Elevation: 650m up, 691m down
Difficulty: Beginner level
Climbing season: Year-round
Notes: Starting at a picturesque dam, this easy hike includes some great views, lots of birds, and passes some very peaceful shrines along the way. The hike down to the water finishes near the famous Suisen flower park (popular from end-Dec to end-Feb). I drove, so turned around at the shrine and returned to the dam.
Music: “River of Love”, from the Album “The Quietening”, by Richard Goldsworthy
ROUTE DIRECTIONS:
Disclaimer: The directions only represent my personal experience. I accept no responsibility for any losses or injuries resulting from following these directions. Hike safe!
Starting point:
The trail begins at the edge of the dam (you can park your car here if you're driving). Head up through the cedar forest, and you'll pass a tiny shrine before heading gradually up to the top of Yuzuruhasan. From the top you can see the Naruto bridge (connecting Tokushima to Awaji-shima), and the Pacific Ocean shimmering to the south. From here it's a short walk down to the beautiful Yuzuruha shrine. From here, if you're driving, you can head back the way you came, or if you're taking the bus, continue down to the ocean at the end of the hike.
End point:
Arima Grand Hotel
Located in Arima Hot Springs Area, one of Japan's three largest hot springs, the Arima Grand Hotel Kobe is only half an hour bus ride from JR Shin-Kobe Station and provides the guests easy access to most of the popular tourist places such as Yuzuruha Shrine, Maya Ropeway and Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.

Hanyu devotees make pilgrimage in hope of divine help
Regional As Yuzuru Hanyu aims to defend his men's figure skating Olympic gold in Pyeongchang, a shrine in western Japan has become a gathering spot for fans hoping to invoke a little divine help for their shining star.Yuzuruha shrine in Kobe has become a magnet for the two-time reigning world champion's fans because its name bears more than a passing similarity to Hanyu's given name, Yuzuru.Fans have been flocking to make offerings at the shrine ahead of their idol's first appearance at the ongoing Olympics, especially given the 23-year-old will make his competitive return from injury when he takes to the ice for the first time on Friday.I've been worried since he got injured, but I know he can win gold if he skates like he usually does.I prayed more than I usually do, said Hisami Sawase, who visited the shrine on Wednesday, a day after Hanyu practiced at the Gangneung Ice Arena for the second time.Sawase, who makes monthly visits to the shrine, is one of many that offer their wishes for the Japanese figure skater's success.Now that Hanyu has become an international icon, fans from China, South Korea and Taiwan also make the pilgrimage.Wooden votive plaques called ema with portraits and photographs of Hanyu line the shrine's grounds along with those that have hand-written messages from visitors wishing the skater luck.Masayasu Sawada, a priest at the shrine, says the number of visitors has multiplied tenfold since Hanyu gained popularity after winning gold at the 2014 Sochi Games.More fans show up whenever he skates in competition and there are times when Sawada has to ask devotees for Hanyu's schedule so he can prepare for the wave of people to come.Hanyu, who in attempting to win consecutive gold medals is trying to match a 66-year-old record, has also made four visits to the shrine.He is a lovable, nice man, but there were times when I noticed that he has the dignity of a champion, Sawada, 64, said.I understand why people would want to support him.Hanyu injured his right ankle during practice at the NHK Trophy in November and has not skated competitively since.In Pyeongchang, he hopes to become the first back-to-back men's champion since Dick Button of the United States in 1948 and 1952.Chie Kawahara, a 57-year-old local, wrote on her ema, I hope Hanyu can pull off his best performance.I couldn't stand still.I want him to do better than he did at Sochi, especially because he sustained the injury.I know he can do it, Kawahara said.More on Yuzuru Hanyu: Olympics: Hanyu continues buildup in front of another huge media gaggle Olympics: I'll make comeback in Pyeongchang worth the wait: Hanyu Olympics: Hanyu completes first practice ahead of gold medal defense Olympics: Absent Hanyu putting blood and tears into Olympic comeback Olympics: Hanyu eyes Olympic immortality in Japan's record medal chase Olympics: Hanyu will be 100% ready to defend title, says coach Orser.

Mikage Honmachi Danjiri Matsuri 04 May 2012 - Nishi nochou
If you want to know what this festival is about:
This is the second year that I have been part of this event, and the first time in six years that our group managed to go through the whole sequence without stopping or dropping the front wheels. It was a very exciting moment for all (hence the shaky cam).
