Walking across the Shibuya Scramble after passing through the hustle and bustle of Shibuya Station Hachiko Exit, you are greeted by the entrance archway of Center-gai Basketball street. In 2011, the main street of Shibuya Center-gai was renamed to Basketball street as part of public safety improvement efforts. The main reason of the name change was to refresh the stereotype associated with the area where juvenile delinquents (known as "Teamer" or "Ganguro") used to roam around in groups. The new name reflects the local aim to develop an ideal, healthy hangout for the youth. The name, however, hasn't really taken off even among Japanese people yet.

The street consists of a strange mix of shops like fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's, eateries including the ones specialized in ramen or bubble tea, big record stores like TSUTAYA, and entertainment spots catering to teenagers like arcades or photo booth machine stores (known as purikura machines). The Shibuya Scramble appears at the beginning of the video, and from 0:47, viewers are taken to Shibuya Center-gai Basketball street that runs between TSUTAYA and Taiseido Bookstore.

After Kato Kiyomasa rebuilt the castle, it became the residence of the Hosokawa family of the Kumamoto Domain until the end of the Edo period. In the Meiji period (1868-1912), it was used as a battlefield for Satsuma Rebellion and as a school. The ruins of castle are designated as a national special historic site and the turret and gate which escaped the flames of the Satsuma Rebellion have been designated Important Cultural Properties. Condition of Reconstruction Photo：Restoration of Kumamoto Castle Kumamoto Castle was badly damaged in the 2016 earthquake.

This came to be called "The Stone Wall Miracle" and became a beacon of hope for the people affected by the disaster.

Kyoto has a Golden Pavilion and a Silver Pavilion, but unlike the Golden Pavilion, which has a golden exterior wall, the walls of the Silver Pavilion are not silver. The Silver Pavilion's calm and serene appearance with a Zen atmosphere is the charm of the building. The beautiful gardens are also a must-see at the Silver Pavilion. It is said that the meticulously shaped sand mound built on Ginsyadan, known as Kogetsudai, was built to allow visitors to view the moon from the garden.

A Look at Kurama-dera Temple This video, titled "Kurama-dera Temple - Kyoto - 鞍馬寺," was created by "TokyoStreetView - Japan The Beautiful." Kurama-dera Temple can be found in Kyoto, a place popular as a scenic sightseeing destination. The temple stands quietly in the midst of nature. The temple, located in Kurama, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, is famous for being the training ground of Minamoto no Yoshitsune and is also the stage for the Noh play Kurama-tengu. The temple has a long history, first founded 650 years ago by Gantei (鑑禎), a disciple of the monk Ganjin (鑑真). Gantei was also known as Sonten (尊天). In the Buddhist world, "Sonten" refers to the trinity of Bishamonten, Senju Kannon, and Goho Mao (also known as Vaisravana, Avalokitesvara, and Sanat Kurama). Thus, it can be deduced that Gantei was a prolific monk. The temple’s principal image is the statue of Bishamonten, and the current Kurama-dera temple is the main temple of the Kurama Sect. The history of Kurama-dera Temple in Kyoto Photo：Kuramadera Temple, Kyoto One day, Gantei had a dream in which he was told that there was a sacred mountain in the north of Yamashiro Province. In that mountain, he met a white horse with a precious saddle. The white horse that appeared on the mountain was the origin of the name Kurama for the temple. The mountain was later named for the temple, becoming Kurama Mountain. There is also a legend called the Konjaku Monogatarishu that the god of Kifune Shrine (貴船神社, kifune jinja) near Kurama-dera Temple appeared in front of Fujiwara no Isendo (藤原伊勢人) and instructed him to build a temple enshrining Bishamonten and Senju Kannon. This is another legend of the origins of Kurama-dera Temple. What is the principal image of Kurama Mountain, "Sonten"? Photo：Kuramadera Temple Maoden, Kyoto Sonten refers to the monk Gantei, as well as the trinity of Bishamonten, Senju Kannon, and Goho Mao. Bishamonten is one of the four heavenly kings of the Buddhist faith, and is also believed to be a symbol of light and a deity of the sun. Senju Kannon is the deity of love, a personification of the moon, and has a yin-yang relationship with Bishamonten. Goho Mao symbolizes power, and is a personification of the Earth. It is believed that the union of these three deities connect the heavenly realm and the mortal realm. Although Goho Mao is not very well-known, in actuality, the legend of the tengu of Mt. Kurama as well as throughout Japan is actually referring to Goho Mao. Goho Mao descended from Venus to the earth 6.5 million years ago, and is said to have immense power. In Japan, the place where Goho Mao landed is believed to be Mt. Kurama. Due to the mighty spiritual power of Goho Mao, Mt. Kurama became a significant power spot. During the Heian Period (794-1185), the mountain was one of the sacred sites for Shugendo. Highlights of Kurama-dera Temple Photo：Kuramadera Temple, Kyoto Kurama-dera Temple is full of mysteries. Here, we'll introduce some charming areas of the temple. ・ Niomon Gate (仁王門, niomon): The entrance to Kurama-dera Temple ・ Genjosui (環浄水, genjosui): Holy water for purification, protected by the statue of the Bodhisattva Kannon. 　 Visitors must purify themselves before entering to worship. ・ Aun Tiger (阿吽の虎, aun no tora): At Kurama-dera Temple, rather than a komainu lion-dog, a stone statue of a tiger is enshrined as a talisman.

This can be seen from 1:42 in the video. ・ Kongosho (金剛床, kongosho): A stone floor inscribed with a hexagram in front of the main shrine. 　 The hexagram is an important symbol in the practice of onmyodo (the way of yin and yang). ・ Kondo Main Hall (本殿金堂, honden kondo): Where the principal deities are enshrined. ・ Central Dojo (中心道場, chushin dojo): The training area for monks. ・ Reihoden (霊宝殿, reihoden): Records of the flora and fauna of Mt.

The original building was relocated from Tokyo. ・ Wesaku Festival (ウエサク祭, uesaku-sai): A festival held during the full moon in May every year. ・ Maoden (魔王殿, maoden): The inner temple where Goho Mao is enshrined. ・ Lanterns (灯籠, toro): Lanterns line the stone steps leading from Kurama-dera Temple to Kifune Shrine. The Kifune Momiji Lantern illumination is a fall tradition. During the fall foliage season, the crew of the Mount Kurama Cable Railway will serve customers in samue clothing. ・ Yojuji: A restaurant located on Mount Kurama. 　At lunch time, it's bustling with worshipers from Kurama-dera Temple. ・ Shuin: Red stamp.

Introducing Nangu Taisha Shrine This video, titled "【美濃国一宮】南宮大社 - Nangu Taisha Shrine in GIFU, JAPAN -," was created by "channel WASABI." Nangu Taisha Shrine is a shrine with a long history, located in Gifu Prefecture's Fuwa District, in the Tokai region of Japan. The locals affectionately call the shrine "Nangu-san" (なんぐうさん). There are 18 archaeological remnants of buildings from the Edo Period within the grounds and these are designated as Important Cultural Properties. Nangu Taisha Shrine is also known as "Tsubaki Taisha Shrine" as camellias burst into bloom in spring (椿, tsubaki = camellia). The various varieties of camellias are stunningly beautiful, so you should definitely take a look. The shrine is a tourist destination near the ancient battlefield of Sekigahara. In this article, we'll use the video as a guide to introduce the shrine. What is Nangu Taisha Shrine? Photo：Nangu Taisha Shrine, Gifu Prefecture Nangu Taisha Shrine is located at the foot of Mt. Nangu in western Gifu prefecture. It's said that the shrine was named "Nangu" due to it being "a palace located in the south of the capital" (南宮, Nangu - lit. "Southern Palace"). The shrine's enshrined deity is "Kanayamahiko-no-kami" (金山彦命), the god of mining. Therefore, from the past and even in the modern era, Nangu Taisha Shrine has been the main shrine of the mining and metal industry nationwide. Furthermore, "Kanayamahiko-no-kami" is also known for being the elder brother of Amaterasu Omikami (天照大神) of Ise Jingu Shrine (伊勢神宮). As Nangu Taisha Shrine's enshrined deity is the god of mining, the shrine is believed to bring good fortune and victory, making it a popular place of worship for those preparing for entrance exams or praying for success. It's also famous as a place to pray for safe child delivery. The history of Nangu Taisha Shrine Photo：Nangu Taisha Shrine, Gifu Prefecture According to the shrine’s written history, it was built during the time of Emperor Sujin. In the mid Heian Period, the shrine is listed in the Engishiki Jinmyocho (延喜式神名帳, register of shrines in Japan) as "Minonokuni Fuwa-gun Nakayama Kanayamahiko Jinja" (美濃国不破郡 仲山金山彦神社), alongside other famous shrines. The shrine was also known as "Minonokuni Ichinomiya" (美濃国一宮) at one point. In April 1501, a fire broke out, leading to the main hall and the priests' quarters being burnt down. Reconstruction was carried out by the shrine's guardian Toki Masafusa (土岐政房), and was completed in 1511. In 1600, the shrine was once again destroyed by fire in the Battle of Sekigahara and was rebuilt by Tokugawa Iemitsu in 1642. A valuable record of the shrine exists, which lists the costs and various other details regarding the rebuilding of the shrine. This record has been designated as an Important Cultural Property.

Introducing the Sado Gold Mines of Niigata Prefecture! This video, titled "Sado Gold and Silver Mine Promotion Video SADO GOLD & SILVER MINES For all Tourists" (佐渡金銀山のプロモーション動画「SADO GOLD & SILVER MINES For all Tourists」), was created by "Sado City Hall" (佐渡市役所). The video introduces the Sado Gold and Silver Mines located on Sado Island (佐渡島), Niigata prefecture. The mines, which were discovered in 1601 by three prospectors and mined for 400 years, were the biggest gold and silver mines in Japan. These beautiful and ancient remains with surroundings abundant in nature are likely to be added to the long list of World Heritage Sites in Japan. More About the Sado Gold and Silver Mines Photo：Sado Gold Mine, Niigata Prefecture Gold mining in the Sado Gold and Silver Mines in Niigata prefecture once flourished and became famous for the production of koban (gold coins used in the Edo period) and gold bars, however the gold resources have significantly dried up since then. The Sado Gold Mines were developed during the Sengoku period (1467AD-1615AD) (戦国時代) and in 1601 became the property of Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川家康). That same year, gold was also discovered in Kitayama (北山) and the Sado Gold Mines became an important source of funds for the Tokugawa Shogunate (江戸幕府). Aikawa Gold and Silver Mine (相川金銀山), the largest of all the Sado Gold Mines, has been designated a national historic site, Important Cultural Property (重要文化財), and an Important Cultural Landscape (重要文化的景観) of Japan. Highlights of the Sado Gold and Silver Mines Photo：Sado Gold and Silver Mine, Niigata Prefecture Many historic sites, such as the crushing mill "Hasaiba" (破砕場), the stamp mill "Tokoba-ato" (搗鉱場跡) from the Meiji period (1868 AD-1912 AD), "Doyunowareto" (道遊の割戸), which was blown open by dynamite, as well as various shafts, mining, and smelting facilities, remain to this day. "Kitazawafuyusen Kouba-ato" (北沢浮遊選鉱場), one of the Sado Gold Mine remains, has a characteristic appearance similar to that of ancient Rome's Colosseum. This area is particularly popular among fans of Studio Ghibli's "Laputa: Castle in the Sky" who are looking for the perfect shot to share on Instagram! Take a Trip to the Sado Gold Mines! Photo：Sado Magistrate's Office, Niigata Prefecture There are lots of spots nearby worth visiting, such as the remains of the old shopping district "Kyomachi-dori" (京町通り) and the Sado Magistrate's Office (佐渡奉行所). There are also several events held throughout the year, such as "Kouzan Matsuri" (鉱山祭り) held in late-July and "Mushukunin Kuyousai" (無宿人供養祭) held on the third Sunday in April. If you want to grab a bite to eat, we highly recommend trying the gold-leaf soft serve ice cream, or if you're looking for something savory, consider trying the curry or udon dishes served at "Kinzan Chaya" (金山茶屋) at the foot of the mountain. There are several sightseeing courses available at the Sado Gold Mines with which you can view some of the natural tunnels or historic ruins. You can also take part in a gold mining experience in the museum workshop or make some gold-leaf jewelry to take home as a souvenir! Summary of the Sado Gold Mines Introductory Video Photo：Sado Mine, Niigata Prefecture We hope you enjoyed taking a look at the stunning landscape of the Sado Gold Mines, such as the remains of the mines and the beautiful night view introduced in the video.

Video Introduction of the Eurasian Red Squirrel of Hokkaido This video, titled "The Eurasian Red Squirrel Playing in a Field of Pink and Blue Flowers [2020]" (エゾリス駆ける、ブルーとピンクのお花畑は そのまんまメルヘンの世界だった 2020), was uploaded by "Shinji kawamura." The video shows footage of the Eurasian red squirrel eating nuts and running around cutely. What the Cute Eurasian Red Squirrels of Hokkaido Look Like Photo：A Eurasian Red Squirrel, Hokkaido The Eurasian red squirrel weighs approximately 300 to 410 grams and is approximately 22 to 27 cm in length, which is about the size of a kitten. A baby squirrel is about 6 to 8 centimeters long, making it very small and cute looking. The tail of the Eurasian red squirrel is covered with hair that is roughly 5 cm long, which makes the body of the squirrel itself appear larger. The hair itself is very fine, so you can see in the video how it fluffs up whenever the squirrel moves around. [Video] 4:04 - The cute tail of the Eurasian red squirrel Lifespan of the Eurasian Red Squirrel Photo：A Eurasian Red Squirrel, Hokkaido Natural predators of the Eurasian red squirrel include birds, such as crows, owls, and hawks, as well as cats and foxes. They live in nests in trees to protect themselves from their natural predators. The life span of the Eurasian red squirrel is said to be 2 to 4 years, but in some cases, they may live as long as 6 years. In Japan, they have to endure the harsh cold of Hokkaido, but they do not hibernate. Before winter is in full swing, they gather nuts and bury them in the ground to prepare for winter. Starting from around December, Hokkaido is covered with snow, so it's difficult for humans to tell where the squirrels have hidden their nuts. However, the Eurasian red squirrel can pinpoint the location of buried nuts and eat them. And while the winter coat of the Eurasian red squirrel is characterized by its fluffiness, it changes into a summer coat during the spring and summer months, giving them a slender appearance.
