We guided a couple from California in Kashiwa City of Chiba

The couple chose to visit Kashiwa City on the 4th day of their 2-week stay in Japan.

We went to Myoshoji Temple. They had experienced "kitou" or purification ceremony there. The monk of the temple prayed for them not to  meet with misfortune like disasters. Besides these, they rang a bell of the temple and touched the biggest tree which is over 750 years in Kashiwa to have longevity.

Then we went to former Yoshida family residence. They saw traditional Japanese residence there. They were so satisfied with the trip in Kashiwa. I hope they will enjoy the rest of their stay in Japan.
