Adventure World, Wakayama Castle, Nachi Waterfall&#8230; these are places I have been many times.<\/p>\n<p>But, Wakayama also has many &#8220;hidden gems&#8221;. A hidden gem is something special that not many people know about. A natural hot spring in the forest, a private beach nobody goes to, or&#8230; a temple in the mountains.<\/p>\n<p>Decently Terasaka-sensei was telling me about one of these &#8220;hidden gems&#8221;. She said that Mr. Morikawa, our math teacher, had been there. It is called Hogi Hogi Shrine. Located in the mountains between Kainan and Arida, Hogi Hogi Shrine is a place for people who want to&#8230; win the lottery? Really?<\/p>\n<p>According to the homepage of the shrine, this is a power spot for people who have bought a ticket for the lottery. You can buy a charm, make a wish, leave an old wallet, and, when you touch the power stone, say &#8220;Hogi Hogi&#8221; three times in your heart.<\/p>\n<p>Does it work? I don&#8217;t know! But if I am driving a new car to school next year, you will know the answer!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1502\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1502\" style=\"width: 644px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.29.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1502 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.29-644x479.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"644\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.29-644x479.png 644w, https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.29-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.29-768x572.png 768w, https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.29.png 1173w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1502\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The path to the power spot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1503\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1503\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.41.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1503 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.41-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1503\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leaving old wallets?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1504\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1504\" style=\"width: 644px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.59.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1504 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.59-644x452.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"644\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.59-644x452.png 644w, https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.59-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.59-768x538.png 768w, https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-27-at-7.51.59.png 1181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1504\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A beautiful view of Arida.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So, what is your &#8220;hidden gem&#8221; in Wakayama?
