A Walk Through the Grounds of Iwashizu Shrine in Takarazuka, Hyogo

This is Iwashizu Shrine, located in Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture.
It is said to be the oldest shrine in the Takarazuka area.

I happened to be nearby for some business and decided to visit;
the wind chimes from the "Summer Visit" (Natsumode) event—
which I had seen two months prior—were still up.
However, the *hanachozu* (floral water offering) display had changed.
If it changes monthly, that means I missed seeing the August version
while I was away visiting family.

For this shoot, I mounted two VR cameras onto a gimbal
and filmed while walking.
I had tested this setup at a rose garden a while back;
since there is inevitably some vertical movement when walking,
I tried to move as carefully as possible,
but I still have room for improvement...

In the third shot, I start walking from the solitary cherry tree,
but I regret not stepping back a bit further
to begin walking from the tunnel-like pathway.
That way, I would have walked through the *entire* area...
That’s a task for next time. I’ll also study my walking technique more.

The distance between the cameras this time is 12 cm.
Due to the mounting bracket, I couldn't bring them any closer together,
so the stereoscopic effect is slightly exaggerated.

Shooting Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2026

(I am Japanese and not very fluent in English,
so I used Google Translate to write this.)
