Thank you for your kind words. Yūtoku Inari Shrine is indeed a remarkable place, with a deep history and a beautiful atmosphere. We hope you will have the chance to visit one day and experience it in person.
That’s wonderful—you’ve already been there twice! It truly must be a special place to return to. We’re happy to know it’s one of your favorites in Saga. It was our first visit, but we felt the same and hope to return again in another season.
What a great journey. Mini pilgrimage. Your writing is very evocative. I can sense the shimmering spirituality as the breeze blows the wind chimes. I feel close to the Kami...the fox is my spirit guide... your photos are beautiful and very illustrative. While I may never visit this shrine l feel like I've been there.
Plus: can you tell me is there a tool or trick to putting your photos in blocks of four?
I would like to be able to do the same thing in my Substack.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. We truly appreciate your kind reflections on the journey.
For the photos, we used a Japanese tool, so I’m not sure if the same one is available overseas. But if you search for “photo collage tool” or “merge photos tool,” you should be able to find some free options that might help. I hope that’s useful.
Your own writing is very interesting as well, and we look forward to reading more of your work. Thank you again for your support of Spiritual Japan Journal.

Time to plan a trip to Shiga.
That sounds so lovely. I hope your time in Shiga will be filled with gentle moments.
Thank you 😊
Nice article. I've been there twice already and it remains as one of my favorite places in Saga prefecture.
