A SPECIAL FEATURE OF THIS COMMUNITY IS THE EXOTIC ROW OF TENEMENT HOMES..WHICH IS UNIQUE TO THIS AREA ..
IT IS SAID THAT THE FARMING HOMES TOOK ON THIS SHAPE DURING THE END OF THE MEIJI ERA (1868-1912)..
DURING THE NARA (710-784) AND HEIAN (794-1185) PERIODS, THE TOKAIDO HIGHWAY (EAST SEA) PASSED THROUGH THIS AREA....NOW CALLED THE YAKITSUBE PATH...
THE HANAZAWA COMMUNITY IS A FARMING COMMUNITY , GROWING SATSUMA ORANGES AND TEA GROWN ON MT.TAKAKUSA IS THE SYMBOL OF YAIZU CITY..
I WILL SAY THE BEST TIME TO WALK THIS LITTLE COMMUNITY IS IN SPRING WITH THE SAKURAS IN FULL BLOOM AND THE MAGNOLIAS....ALSO IN THE FALL , WITH THE MAPLES LEAVES.....

At Hokkenji TEMPLE....you will find a little table just outside the main door....this one was a "selfserve". selling talismans to bring good luck or keep evil away ..
. Lucky charms and protective amulets are called o-mamori. Most shrines and Temple also sell o-inori,prayers to the kami (god)written on pieces of paper that magically help students pass examinations or sick people recover from an illness.
Prices ranging from 200yen to 500yen....The booklet for the shrine and a calendar was free...but other item had sell price on them..Just pick the one you want and drop your money in the little wooden box....
