Yesterday I took a saunter in Kyoto city with my friend. I had visited some temples and shrines in Kyoto when I was littele. It was almost for the first time to visit some for him. I was going to guide him, but I almost forgot how to get there or where they are...
Anyway we went to the Heian Shrine.
He was suprised at very big torii. We wanted to go into Shrine but we had to pay money so gave up. If we could go into, we would have been to the garden.
Next, though we tried to go to the Yasaka Shrine, we found another temple. It was the Chion Temple. There was the very big bell which I had wached in TV at New Year's Eve. How big it was!! In the main temple, a priest was reading the sutra. We sat on our heels and prayed. He was interested in the structure. How did the ancient people build? It was a mystery for us.
We also could see ume which had a lot of bud. We visited there a little earlier. Soon, we are coming the season of ohanami, a picnic under the cherry blossoms.
We went to the Maruyama Park. We met the parson who had a special hope. He hold a street performance. His performance was wounderful. He enchanted audience. He determined to live with street performance when he was 18 years old. Now he is 20 years old, so same for me!!
I was mooved. I wonder if I lived with my goal and make effort for my goal or dream...
After our Kyoto tour, we went to izakaya. I drunk syoutyuu. Actually I don't like syoutyuu, but I tried. He recommend me sweeter syoutyuu than any other. We talked a lot, maybe we had stayed at izakaya for 4 hours. On the way going to the station, we bought ice-cream. It was so delicious. As you already know, I love ice-cream so much!!
Before I go to America, I want to tour Kyoto again. I introduce my future foreigner friends Kyoto culture by showing picture.
