Hachiman-bori Moat in Omihachiman is renowned for its picturesque setting, which is surrounded by lush greenery and historic landmarks. The reflections of the surrounding buildings and trees on the moat's surface create a serene and captivating atmosphere, especially during the cherry blossom season.

do you have any interest in going back to japan? if so, where in japan would you like to go? :3c

It's so funny that you're asking this today! I actually spent most of my day today doing research/loose budgeting for a trip with my sister that we've kind of been dreaming about for several years

(to clarify: it's still kind of in the dreaming phase but it's a lot more doable than before so I'm getting excited about it again)

But yeah!! Since I was just doing the exchange student thing last time, I didn't get to do much sightseeing except for some in Kyoto. I didn't get to see any Tokyo beyond the train station and airport so that's a priority of course. I feel like I kind of need to see Hiroshima for family history reasons. I also want to go back to Ōmihachiman even if it is kind of a boring city... It's kind of like my hometown now lol

The pilgrims’ hymn for Chōmeiji Temple (長命寺) in Ōmihachiman, Shiga Prefecture, from a hymnal for the thirty-three temples of the western pilgrimage circuit dedicated to Kannon Bodhisattva (観音菩薩)

My own rough, tentative translation follows:

Number Thirty-One: Ikiyasan Chōmeiji Temple (Tendai School) in Gamou District, Ōmi Province

Chōmeiji Neighborhood, Ōmihachiman City, Shiga Prefecture

A hymn for Thousand-Armed Kannon, Eleven-Faced Kannon, and Holy Kannon, three enshrined deities as one:

Let’s carry along Branches of willow alive For eight thousand years As we make our pilgrimage To this temple of long life
