I visited the REAL Moriya Shrine

Discover the secrets and inspirations of the lore for The Touhou Project through my travels in Japan! I explore various shrines and power spots, and explain their significance to the series while taking in the beauty of Suwa.

Have you ever wanted to know the origins of Suwako Moriya and Kanako Yasaka? Maybe even Sanae Kochiya? Whether you are a Touhou fan, or simply someone who loves Japan, you can expect to see beautiful sights of Suwa in Nagano, Japan. And maybe check out the local cuisine and hot springs along the way.
