Actually, I didn't mean to go to Jinja or Otera. I just wanna see how the jinja in thi place look like. Indeed, I am so sorry to say that I totally didn't know the name of that place. Sorry.... Well, just a brief explaination and a little opinion about Jinja.  Basicly, Japanese reliogion is Shinto. Look like Indonesia, I mean not everyone is Moslem but majority people is Moslem, also the Indonesian law is not moslem law. It is totally different. In this case, Japan also majority Shinto ( a long time ago ). Now, if you have a friend from Japan, ask them about what is their religion. I guess, they will answer that "I don't have any religion" or if you force them probably they will explain something like that,  "When I was a child, I have ever go to Jinja (anything place for praying) with my parents. So, if I have to say, I am Buddist but it is for status. For real, it is the way I am. I don't think about any religion. I love freedom."...

Recently, Japan created a new public holiday. In 2016, it is gonna be the third-times for " Mountain Day " (which well known as " Yama no Hi ") with the goal is " to give opportunities to get close to mountains and to the appreciate the benefits of mountains. "  In my case, I don't want to leave this day without doing nothing. So, how lucky I am. My friends (called "older sister" will be comfortable for me) invited me to join her trip with her boyfriend for free.  WOW !

“Tak ada sesuatu yang tidak berubah di dunia ini. Perubahan itu pasti ada walaupun hanya sedikit.” -Sosiolog Perubahan Sosial- Memang, terkadang kita tidak sadar akan kehadiran perubahan itu.
