At the sacred Kibitsu Shrine...

Bottles of Sake, Japanese traditional liquor, kept on the shelves at the Kibitsu Shrine...



The person who writes down the talisman records at the Kibitsu shrine...

It was the small touches that made the visit to the Kibitsu Shrine more memorable... Simple structures, simple landscape design, tastefully and respectfully done...


The natural style hand washing place... notice the pebbles below that allows the excess water to drain within... The water container is in stone, and the ladles are in bamboo...


The place to keep your umbrellas and slippers, outside, prior to entering the meditation hall... no photographs allowed inside...


Splendid example of Japanese Landscape in the traditional style... merges with the forest environment around the Kibitsu Temple...

The sacred goldfish kept near the Kibitsu Shrine...



The place where you purchase your talismans, record your oaths, and promises to the Lord of the Kibitsu Shrine..


The impressive ancient architecture along with the well maintained Japanese landscape within the forest environment is excellent...





The sacred Kibitsu shrine... very awesome and tremendous in its impressions on a good believer... I could feel the sacred vibrations as I prayed here... There is good metta here... tremendously good metta and dhamma here...
