Take a leisurely stroll through Ise, the city of history and gods. I enjoyed the ``home of the heart'' where the clean air felt good! : Ai Yamamoto’s view! Ise edition

IseCity Prefecture.

Speaking of Ise, it is a popular tourist destination with many historic shrines and scenic tourist spots, including the nationally famous IseJingu.
In 2016, the `` IseShimaSummit'' was held, and this place has received new attention. This time, I traveled to Ise, which is full of charm♪

The first place we visited was Sarutahiko-JinjaShrine.
Sarutahiko Okami, the god of path-opening, is said to appear at the beginning of things and lead people in the right direction.
Sarutahiko Okami is said to be the god who guided his grandson Ninigi no Mikoto to this country, and then proceeded to develop the land from Ise to the rest of the country.

Because of these things, it seems that Sarutahiko Okami has come to be believed as ``a god who acts as a guidepost at the beginning of things.''
Since it is close to IseJingu, many people visit Sarutahiko-JinjaShrine before heading to IseJingu.

Wash your hands and mouth with water and head to the main shrine. Various areas, such as the bonito trees and pillars on the roof of the main hall, are built in the shape of an octagon, ``to bring luck in all directions.'' The pillars of the torii gate were also made of octagons!

Part of the fun is finding out which parts are made of octagons.

Sarutahiko-JinjaShrine is said to be where the god of Michihiraki is enshrined, and many worshipers from all over the country come here to pray for guidance in their work and studies.
This shrine is also recommended for those who are facing a new change in their environment, such as going to higher education, finding a job, or getting married.

Immediately pray with two bows, two claps, and one bow.

I prayed with enthusiasm, ``May you do your best in everything you do in 2019.''

There was a crowd of people in front of the main shrine...

When I went to take a look, I found an octagonal stone pillar called ``Direction Stone''!

This compass stone is engraved with the zodiac signs that indicate the direction, and when you want to improve your luck, it is said that rubbing the characters engraved on this stone with your hand will have a positive effect. It is popular for its power of guidance, and many people were touching it and taking pictures.
I've touched it a lot too♪

Next, I will visit Sarutahiko-JinjaShrine I was really looking forward to.

This shrine is enshrined with Amenouzumenomikoto no Mikoto, said to be the wife of Sarutahiko Okami, and is said to bring blessings related to the entertainment industry! ! !
There is a myth that when Amaterasu-Omikami Omikami barricaded herself in Iwato and the light was lost from the world, Amenouzumenomikoto danced the first ``mai'' in order to direct Amaterasu-Omikami 's interest outside. there is.

For this reason, people who work in the entertainment industry or those who aspire to do so often visit the shrine!
Also, since Sarutahiko Okami and Amenouzumenomikoto were husband and wife, many women come to pray for fulfillment in love.

It's the year of the Pig, and I'm a year old woman this year.
I've been praying a lot for you to do your best in ``Ibutsu Goshin'' ♪

It was my first time to pray at an entertainment shrine since I started working in the entertainment industry, so I was very happy! May it benefit you!

I discovered this mysterious stone. The name is "Takara Stone".
The name already seems to be auspicious!
It is said that it was given that name because its shape resembles a treasure ship.

If you look more closely, you can see that the snake is riding on the treasure ship.
Snakes have long been said to bring good luck with money.
Therefore, this Takara stone is popular as a stone that brings good luck and good luck with money. There is another stone called "Sazare Ishi" that also appears in the lyrics of "Kimigayo" in the precincts.

Ripple stones, which are small stones that have grown into large rocks over the years, are also said to be lucky charms.
There are so many power spots at Sarutahiko-JinjaShrine!

While walking around the temple grounds, I found a fortune slip! It was a great opportunity so I decided to take a look!

I wonder what will come out ~ I wonder what will come out ~♪

My heart is pounding...
The result of the fortune was Kokichi! I feel relieved.
I always get nervous when drawing fortunes (lol)

I will do my best to read what is written in the fortune book and be conscious of the advice from God!

Right! I bought an entertainment charm♪

Oh no. I made a very good purchase♪
Just having it will bring you good luck!
I thoroughly enjoyed Sarutahiko-JinjaShrine a sacred power spot!

After injecting a lot of power at Sarutahiko-JinjaShrine, the next place we came was ``Mie Prefectural Sun Arena.''

This is one of the largest comprehensive facilities in Mie Prefecture, where events, sports tournaments, and artist concerts are usually held.

What did I come to Sun Arena for this time?

Shazam! It's bouldering! ! It stands on one side of the sub-arena, and has two walls: a light blue wall measuring 5 meters high and 21.4 meters wide, and a green wall measuring 5 meters high and 6.8 meters wide. difference!
It's amazingly powerful! ! !

Here, you can enjoy bouldering on the pre-determined "Bouldering Day".
Bouldering Day is held 3 to 5 times a month from 6pm to 9pm.
It can be started by elementary school students, and it seems that many people come, not only elementary school students, but also people in their 60s, so it can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages.
We also have a bouldering teacher, so beginners can feel at ease♪
The training room also has a bouldering wall (4m high, 5m wide) that can be used at all times.

Bouldering is a sport in which participants climb a predetermined route using holds (protrusions) attached to artificial walls that are less than 5 meters in length.

One of its features is that it is divided into different grades, and there are challenges that even first-timers can enjoy.
The 10/9 class is designed for beginners and has a large hold that makes it easy to grab and put your feet on.
Some people find it difficult to play 8th grade for the first time, and the holds are a little more difficult compared to 10th/9th grade, as they include things that are harder to grasp and the placement has changed.
As you reach level 5 and above, you will not only be able to use your hands, but also the holds you will place your feet on, and the foot holds will become smaller, making it difficult to change your feet, and from this point on you will be in the intermediate zone.

Apply anti-slip to your hands and let's get started!

First bouldering experience! I can't stop feeling excited.

Start by holding the hold with both hands! Grab only the holds that have stickers of the same color next to them and aim for the goal!

Alright! Clear♪
We will proceed in order starting from grade 10. There are various courses even in one grade, and there are a total of 89 courses in all grades.

Every time I clear a course, I feel a sense of accomplishment and a desire to try harder!
It was so much fun that I couldn't help but fall in love with it!

In bouldering, the steps and movements used to climb are very important, and it is a sport that requires both physical strength and mental ability.

It's fun to solve a mystery, and the joy you feel when you accomplish it is immeasurable.
There are many customers who come bouldering once and get hooked, and many of them become repeat customers!
It seems that there are 30 to 50 visitors per day, and many come in groups and make new friends.

I'm very happy to be able to play a lot! I was able to clear up to level 6 on this day!

The feeling of happiness I felt when I completed the game was so great that I was completely hooked!
I want to go bouldering again♪

I received a lot of advice from my teacher!
The teacher's bouldering skills were so amazing that when I got to see him up close, my mouth dropped open (lol).
Bouldering is easy for beginners to get started, and can improve your muscle strength and shape, as well as change your mood and refresh you.
Why don't you all try it once?

This concludes this trip. It was a very enjoyable trip to Ise where I received a lot of energy at Sarutahiko-JinjaShrine and refreshed my mind and body through bouldering. Ise is a charming city full of beautiful nature, delicious gourmet food, and fun sightseeing spots that everyone can enjoy.
Why don't you come and visit us once, feel the power and be healed both physically and mentally?
