Even though I wouldn't necessarily call myself a dreamer, during my visits to temples and shrines I always manage to send my thoughts and my heart on a great journey. And from there, it captures a little bit of this so special and wonderful mood and brings it back to me. That's why I always try to visit and explore temples or shrines that are still unknown to me. In Japan, Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines often go hand in hand and complement each other in the everyday life of the Japanese people. When the own children are 3, 5 or 7 years old, the whole family goes to the shrine, but on the other hand, the temple is responsible for funerals and mourning ceremonies. In our prefecture, you can find a small shrine after every third corner, but temples seem to be less common in this part of Japan than in the rest of the country.</p><p><b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/?post=a-little-trip-to-jikoji-a-tempel-deep-in-the-forest-beautiful-japan'>This post on Pinmapple</a></b> - <b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/@maxinpower'>This user on Pinmapple</a></b></p><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@maxinpower/a-little-trip-to-jikoji-a-tempel-deep-in-the-forest-beautiful-japan'><img src='https://images.hive.blog/DQme5E4hY1GSoPxiP1576htjoCrB46CfkGQVq5c53zwJqkp/056407B1-B70A-4AD4-A467-09B047782029.jpeg'></a><br><hr><br><b>🥈 <a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@macchiata/the-6-hours--from-mysterious-temple-to-0-kilometers-with-itineraries'>From Mysterious Temple To 0 Kilometers With Itineraries, Yogyakarta, Indonesia</a> by @macchiata</b><br><br><p>In my previous series, I offer some options such as visiting beautiful abandoned quarries, dining with a view, and enjoying the vibrant nightlife of Yogyakarta. This time, I offer the option to visit some temples, sky views, and the beach. Unlike the previous 6 hours when I traveled alone, I was traveling with 2 of my cousins. I picked these places because it includes everyone’s preference. I love visiting temples, my male cousin loves the mountain view and my female cousin enjoys lounging at the beach. This time, I will also include an itinerary of the trip that you can use as an estimation if you want to visit these places when you visit Yogyakarta.</p><p><b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/?post=the-6-hours--from-mysterious-temple-to-0-kilometers-with-itineraries'>This post on Pinmapple</a></b> - <b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/@macchiata'>This user on Pinmapple</a></b></p><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@macchiata/the-6-hours--from-mysterious-temple-to-0-kilometers-with-itineraries'><img src='https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/macchiata/48QtwuN64kGBejLZfdXLALhULYHeuDtDw2FKoKWKtGeAX5my1P6iFopn55Us9aSTtt.png'></a><br><hr><br><b>🥉 <a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@maridmc/esp-ing-waraira-repano-el-avila-teleferico--tourism-in-venezuela-waraira-repano-el-avila-teleferico-turismo-en-venezuela'>National Park El Avila, Venezuela</a> by @maridmc</b><br><br><p>Do you like the cold?
