A lush, tranquil forest and the secluded Engyoji Temple complex (Mt. Shosa, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan) | Ambient Exploration
Summary:
Atop Mount Shosa is a tranquil forest and the sprawling Engyoji Temple complex with traditional wooden buildings scattered amid the trees along quiet paths. The forest is near the small city of Himeji in Hyogo Prefecture, and the mountaintop temple has been an import natural retreat from the city throughout the centuries. More recently it was featured in the film The Last Samurai.
I imagine it’s peaceful at any time, but on this day with the steady rain the mountain was virtually deserted. Throughout the walk we are treated to the sound of rain as we walk up and down peaceful trails through the trees that would have been walked by countless other before. I really like seeing these types of historic and culturally significant buildings in such a beautiful and quiet setting, and the rain added even more ambiance. I hope you enjoy it as well.
