RE: 1600 Year Old Samukawa Shinto Shrine In Kanagawa - All In A Day P1

in Worldmappin4 years ago

That place looks really familiar, but for the life of me I can't remember ever going there. Hmmm. Then again, when I first arrived, long before I was married and had kids, I would travel from place to place to place, not sure of any names or what I was even doing, just kind of exploring without plan and enjoying taking it all in. Before I learned Japanese, it all seemed to blend together, which was ok because it was all adventure. SO maybe I did go through there at one time. Hmm. Anyway, thanks for the great photos and write up.

Sort:  

It is a special shrine so it's possible you could have been to it. My memory of it from last time was totally gone. I remember going into the shrine building for the ceremony, but I didn't remember the courtyards or anything else.

I've got a special connection to Kamakura so the fact that Minato no Yoritomo had been to this shrine for prayer was really cool.

I get what ya mean about having gone places, but not having a solid memory of them. I think that is normal for us because everything here is new and different and it's total sensory overload. Plus you're young and not so appreciative of everything.
