A Tranquil Shrine at the Heart of Chiba

The shrine of spontaneity

Shrines usually aren’t a place of entertainment, but there are shrines that entertain the eyes and excite a person. Chiba Shrine in the city of Chiba is one of them. The entrance is bright red with golden edges. Once you've entered the gates, you’re welcomed by an even larger red building. The word "spontaneous" seems to describe the shrine perfectly. Inside, there are other mini shrines for almost every kind of luck you can wish for. The decorative rocks at the shrine are also notable, with one of them being shaped like a turtle.

Love to travel, meet people, and try new things. When you travel you meet new people, when you meet people, you learn new things. The world is limited but there isn't an end to what I can learn.
