Hidden Gems of Ikegami: A Serene Stroll Through Temples, Pagodas, and Secret Spots

Yesterday I didn’t venture far out, nonetheless, I enjoyed a leisurely walk around Ikegami. This included stops by the small Buddhist temple Shoei-in, the 5 story Honmonji Pagoda, the Ikegami Honmonji Temple, Daibo Temple with its beautiful garden and Koi pond and lastly a stop at the Honmonji Tahōtō Pagoda which had a very distinctive shape not seen throughout my trip here in Japan. Its location was perfect as it was hidden in the trees and I had not seen it on the map, I would have easily walked by without knowing it was there.

I truly am blessed to be here. I chose to work remotely from Japan and my walk around Ikegami personifies why. Japan is accessible where ever you are. Most people only get a few days here and miss opportunities to explore. This trip is unforgettable and has inspired me to keep traveling and seek more opportunities to work abroad.
