[Solo trip to shrines and temples] Karuizawa Shrine - North-facing Kannon

A journey to find 500 recommended Goshuin stamps that I have received and found soothing, based on my own opinion and bias!
This time, I went from Karuizawa to a shrine located on the border between Nagano and Gunma prefectures, and then visited Kitamuki Kannon in Bessho Onsen.
I hope this will be helpful when you go out.

今回は珍しく朝食からSTARTしたので、ちょっとした小旅行になっていましたね♪
飛び出す御朱印は、保管方法に悩みそう…｡
川崎の長尾山 妙楽寺の紫陽花が綺麗でした♪
