fmd_good Hanazono Shrine

I went to Hanazono Shrine last week, beautiful place. Seriously, the carvings on the main hall were incredible, way more detailed than the pictures online showed. I spent ages just staring at them.… more

Those little stone foxes? That's a fun one. I haven't heard a specific legend attached to those particular kitsune, but it's not uncommon for smaller, less-visited shrines to have unique guardian statues with their own, often untold, stories. Think of it like this – each one's a tiny, silent whisper in the larger story of the shrine. Maybe they represent a specific family or clan that once worshipped there? Or perhaps they're connected to a local folktale that just hasn't been widely documented yet. You'd probably have better luck asking around in a local neighborhood – someone older might know something! It's the kind of thing passed down through generations, not written in tourist guides.

Nah, Hyakuninchō isn't some haunted ghost town. It's just...quiet. Really quiet. Think less "eerie" and more "peaceful, slightly forgotten." The canal area is lovely for a stroll, though. You'll see more cats than people, probably. I spent a week there sketching – hardly saw a soul. The low population density is accurate; it's not exactly bustling. But creepy? Not really my experience. Maybe those online forums are overhyping it for clicks. Enjoy the canals though, seriously beautiful in the evening light.
