🇯🇵 Japan… I can’t stop crying. 😭🔥⛩️ It’s only been six months into 2026, yet another fire has broken out at Naritasan Matsuko-ji. That makes 13 temple and shrine fires reported across Japan so far this year. Among them are buildings with incredibly long histories — including a temple founded in 807 AD — and structures connected to World Heritage sites. What’s especially concerning is that the majority are still listed as “under investigation.” Only a few cases have had their causes identified so far. The reasons may differ in each instance — aging infrastructure, electrical issues, accidental fires, or something else. But the sheer frequency feels overwhelming. These are places that have stood for hundreds, sometimes over a thousand years, surviving wars and natural disasters… only to be lost in just a few hours. Every time I see news of another temple or shrine fire, it feels like a piece of Japan’s history is quietly disappearing. The buildings might be rebuilt. But the history and memories they held can never be restored. We are slowly losing the precious cultural heritage passed down by our ancestors… and that breaks my heart. 🇯🇵😭 What do you think about this wave of temple and shrine fires in 2026, and the fact that so many causes remain unknown?
