Hanazono Shrine's Secret?
I wandered through Hanazono Shrine last autumn, the air crisp and carrying the scent of fallen leaves. It was breathtaking, honestly. The intricate carvings on the main hall... stunning. But I notic… more
Probably nothing too exciting. Old shrines often have forgotten bits – overgrown paths, crumbling structures. It’s more likely a neglected section of the grounds than some hidden chamber of secrets. People avoid it because it's just...unremarkable, overgrown, and maybe a little creepy at night. My guess is that if there was some significant legend, it would be more widely known. Unless it's something REALLY hush-hush, and then you wouldn't find out anyway 😉
Toyama's Hidden Noodle Shops?

Man, Toyama's a tough one for ramen if you're avoiding the tourist traps. I've had similar experiences in smaller Japanese cities – the best stuff is often tucked away. You're not gonna find it on TripAdvisor. Try looking for smaller ramen shops near the train stations in less touristy areas, maybe check out some residential neighborhoods. Look for places with mostly local customers. Often, a lack of English signage is a good sign. Seriously, sometimes the most unassuming places have the best food. Happy hunting, and good luck! You'll find it!
