While I was walking around the area of Fujisaki Station trying to kill some time before an appointment, I found Momijihachiman-gu. Momiji is the name for Japanese maples and there were so many beautifully colored trees that I almost came late for my appointment, as I couldn't stop taking pictures and enjoying the scenery! While some trees were already vibrantly red, others were still green. The rain on that day, which I cursed in the morning, turned out to be a perfect addition to the atmosphere, since it made the maple leaves glisten.

The green coniferous trees are in contrast with the red maple leaves

Tiny water well at the entrance to wash your hands before you enter the shrine

Many of the old trees are covered with moss
