Osugi shrine and Lake Kasumiga-ura

Osugi shrine, located in Inashiki city in Ibaraki, is unique shrine of  "Yume musubi" in Japan that makes your dream come true.
This shrine is also famous for its beautiful architecture.

It's rich in ornament.


It's really colorful, isn't it?
 

It seems a clip of Japanese old tale.
 

Golden dragon that braces the roof.
 

Green dragon that  guard the pole.


Sacred tree "Saburo Sugi".


And cat!!!!!!
 

I could pet her little bit.
 

After visiting the shrine, I went to Lake Kasumigaura, second largest lake in Japan. It takes less than 15 minutes from the shrine.
 

I was really scared when I took this photo because it was big windy day and there was no bar between lake and the road. I could see Mount Tsukuba on the opposite shore.
 

This is the road. So dangerous.....
 

I want to get there again when it's sunny and calm day. It might be so wonderful if I can see Mt. Tsukuba clearly.
