Atsuta Shrine's approach
旅館青年部の全国大会の帰り、名古屋をちょっと観光しました。1900年の歴史の熱田神宮は感動的でした。宝物間は休館だったせいか草薙の剣は見えませんでしたけど徳永の三人の刀は見えた。帰りは豪華のイタリアンのレストランに寄って、先輩に昼食をご馳走になりました。私は先輩になったらこうやって後輩にちゃんとやってあげなきゃ。
On the way back from the Junior Innkeepers Assoc. National Meeting, we did some sightseeing around Nagoya. The 1900-year old Atsuta Jingu shrine was especially impressive. We didn't get to see 'kusunagi-no-tsurugi' sword, perhaps because the museum was closed. That sword is one of the 3 legendary artifacts handed down from the gods to Japan's first emperor. But we did get a peek at Ieyasu Tokugawa's 3-person katana.
On the way back, we stopped at a gourmet Italian restaurant for lunch, where we were treated by our 'senpai' elders. I need to remember to someday pass on such an experience to my 'juniors'.
