Day One
Maimai Well
The Maimai Well was impressive, made even more so by the rain
in the early morning.
Aso Shrine
The most interesting part of the day was the Aso Shrine in
Hamura, which is home to the 'Bicycle Safety Amulet'.
Bicycle safety amulet
Apparently, these bicycle omamori are going viral because of
their uniqueness and spirituality (!) :)
Tamagawa-sui Shrine
Tamagawa-sui Shrine and Tamagawa Josui Hamurajinyaato are, as
the names suggest, places associated with the origin and
well-being of the Tamagawa River.
Hamura Shrine
Hamura Shrine is a hidden spot that offers panoramic views of
Hamura after a 20-minute hike.
A day of exploring the suburbs in Tokyo
This one-day tour of Tokyo's unfamiliar suburbs was a great
way to get a sense of how these sleepy neighborhoods have
evolved over the years and the stories behind them.
