In Golden Week Holiday, I went a lot of place such as Tanigumi, Yokokura in Gifu with Kazuo, he is a teacher, a curriculum coordinator, of our primary school.
His family and I went to Mt. Tanigumi and Yokokura shrine and we had a lot of fun.
As I mentioned above, when I went to Tanigumi Onsen with Kazuo, I saw the plants were kept floated in the hot spring.
We arrived at Tanigumi Temple and drove all the way up the cobblestoned street lined with noodle and souvenir shops.
It was also cold and the clouds were spitting a little, so I grabbed Obata-san's elbow and we walked arm-in-arm.
There were many buildings on the Tanigumi temple grounds that housed different statues, prayer items like candles, incense and monk-blessed amulets and old scripture books.

Groups of twelve dancers perform carrying decorative bamboo shinai modeled after phoenix feathers on their backs and large taiko drums on their chests.
Said to originate in the victory celebrations of the Genji warriors after the Genpei War, the Tanigumi Odori can now be seen at the February festival praying for a good harvest as well as at the spring and autumn village festivals.
The Tanigumi Odori has also been performed overseas to great acclaim in places like Paris, New York and Beijing.
The party was being held for all of the teachers of my school, meaning that I was going to be the only gaijin there.
The enkai was set up in a traditional manner with superb food as usual (I got to try ‘koi' or carp for the first time; apparently it is very expensive, but delicious!), and the "forgetting" part of the enkai started when the liquor began to flow.
Japanese temple bells do not have a ringer inside the bell, but rather are struck on the outside by a small log suspended by chains beside the bell.

It was great to talk with some old friends about our experiences in Asia and to compare their experiences in Korea with mine in Japan.
They were amazed at how quiet and peaceful it was compared to the crowds they always encounter in Korea.
While we were wandering through the shops in Tanigumi, we met a woman who spoke terrific English and who told us that she had worked in a gallery in New York for 9 years.
Leslie had pretty much decided at this time that she is going to go to Japan to teach English with the JET program.
So, she's in the village of Tanigumi and I'm working 80 hours a week on a boat going "What happened?" We decide that she may try to go to school in Arizona.
So I use my gaming contacts and get a job with CDS in Las Vegas thinking, heck, its just an hour's flight away.
At last I came to the spot where there was a temple hard by a mountain on the left.
According to the legend, this temple was built to enshrine Kannon, the great goddess of mercy, by the Emperor Kazan, when he had finished his round of the so-called Thirty- three Sacred Temples, and its name Nata was compounded of Nachi and Tanigumi, the first and last of these temples respectively.
There were beautiful rocks and old pines in the garden, and the goddess was placed in a thatched house built on a rock.
