muikabochi 208 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Good timing with the fine sunny weather today, so it was time to get out and about and have another trip round the area visiting some of the shrines and temples. These are 3 places within 25 minutes of where I live - in Koide, Urasa (Uonuma city) and Hakkaisan (Minamiuonuma).

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hakkaisan where muika is is pretty famous for sake - 'course he does have some of the best sake factories up in Niigata (insert jealous gremlin) Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted June 4, 2008 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 4, 2008 Yes the sake is good and the Hakkai-san beer is too. That shrine in Hakkai-san is well worth a visit too. Urasa Bishamondo is where they hold the famous "naked man" festival in March each year, for those interested! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Happily they aren't quite naked! The beer is good I often have a bottle or two of that in my fridge. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Do you live near Hakkai-san muikabochi? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Pretty close yes, the ski resort is a 15 minute drive, the sake/jibiiru place is about 10 minutes. The Hakkai-san temple is on the other side of the mountain from the ski resort, but still only about 20 minutes or so away. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Nice. I'll have to come stay! Link to post Share on other sites
