Johannes comment

Striking design oriented toward Mount Ishizuchi; copper-colored Fudō fountain. Adjacent Ishizuchi Jinja strongly connected to mountain worship and certailnly worth visiting. True okuno-in on Ishizuchi slopes. Nearby onsen worth mentioning.

Who is Johannes?

I like to travel, and whenever I have time, I walk all over the place. He is particularly knowledgeable about the Shikoku Pilgrimage and enjoys talking about the temples and the journey. I like talking to people and value encounters.
