Kadokawa Musashino Museum Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
【Saitama】Neon Shrine.
Musashino Reiwa Shrine is a shrine located in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, and is an artistic shrine spot supervised by the world-renowned architect Kengo Kuma.
This shrine, while following the traditional architectural style of shrines, incorporates symbolic Shinto structures and components such as torii gates and chigi. At first glance, the building does not look like a shrine, and it would not be recognizable without the torii gate.
The torii gate lights up as neon at night.
Musashino Reiwa Shrine is built in Musashino, which is also the setting for the Manyoshu, and has been selected as the first pilgrimage site of the '88 Places in Japan Anime Fans Should Visit' chosen by the Anime Tourism Association. This shrine can be said to be a place that expresses the universal desire for peace and happiness.
Furthermore, the shrine's stamp book is made of wood, with a charming design featuring cherry blossoms and foxes. When you visit, be sure to receive a stamp.

Kadokawa Musashino Museum: An Art Spot to Enjoy All Day
Kadokawa Musashino Museum is not only impressive in its exterior design, but by purchasing a KCM Standard Ticket, you can immerse yourself in exhibitions such as the painting experience and the bookshelf museum, and enjoy the whole day. After the museum closes, the view from the outside is also very beautiful. It's reassuring to have cafes and restaurants both inside and outside the facility.

Sayama Indoor Skiing Ground Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Sayama Indoor Skiing Ground
#thingstodo Service was amazing and so was the rentals. Only problem was that it was just too much money I spent 10,000 yen for a day pass and rentals this may not seem much but in japan this could buy like 2 weeks worth of groceries. Slope was great but there isn't much room for beginners like myself and considering that there were highly skilled people it made it hard to get the feel off it. Overall this place is great but there are better options in turns of price.
