Koyasan and Kumano offer me their power!
I love fortune-telling, and I'm always looking for “power spots” to visit. Koyasan and Kumano are the strongest power spots in Japan. When I experienced a supernatural phenomenon in my house, I went to Kumano Hongu Taisha Grand Shrine to receive a blessing, and it stopped immediately. Even now, I always recommend making a pilgrimage to Kumano to friends and acquaintances who are experiencing problems or difficulties, and they always thank me.
And then there’s Koyasan. The place has become extremely popular with foreign visitors. I'm looking forward to staying in a Shukubo lodgings for a physical and spiritual “detox” and “power charge.”
I have postcards from Kumano and Koyasan on display in my bedroom. These two beautiful places are my hometown sources of power; they give me the energy to keep up with my busy daily work schedule.
