食旅☆NAGANO 活動内容

In Nagano,we have a famous traditional story about Zenkoji temple.
「牛に引かれて善光寺まいり」
It means"There was a person who was pulled to a cow and visited Zenkoji temple.

Once upon a time there was an old woman who had no faithes.
One day, when she was hunging washed clothes,a cow came and ran a way with her towel on it's horn.
She also ran after it and arrived one place,it was Zenkoji temple.
"It's a massage for me to believe Buddhism from Buddha." and she started to belive it.

There is an event of walking along the story in Nagano.
We local people in Kimono walk from Central square to Zenkoji temple.





















Zenkoji is the biggest temple in NAGANO.
It's a place for we local people somtimes to visit.












In front of the main hall, we pour this smoke on parts of body with hope it better.
A lot of people have habit that pour them heads from they were children.



















We started walking　from here,it's Central Square.
The commendation ceremonies were held on NAGANO Olympic Games.
The players of your countries surely stood here.








I took it at this time.It's back. I put in Yukata.














We Japanese have no chances of putting on Kimono and Yukata usually,
so we glad having sach these events.
