Misosogi Shrine Kurotsuchi
There was no info at the shrine but I am going to presume that, historically at least, the enshrined kami is Rokugo Gongen.

Arata Isozaki 1933 - 2022
Arata Isozaki 1933 - 2022
The famous Japanese architect Arata Isozaki passed away on December 28th, 2022.
His earliest works seem heavily influenced by Brutalism and Metabolist styles, though his later works utilized many different styles. His works have been built all over Asia, Europe, and the USA.
He won the RIBA Gold Medal in 1986 and the Pritzker Prize in 2019.

Kitsuki Teramachi
Kitsuki
This final photo of a Fudo is not from the teramchi in Kitsuki, but another temple, Komyoin, that I had visited on a previous trip to Kitsuki.

Yakatabune of the Mimuka River
Yakatabune, Mimuka River
Around sunset each day the lanterns and electric lights on the yakatabune light up, and guests, usually wearing traditional outfits, arrive and are then taken out to the middle of the river for a few hours of fine wining and dining.
