I visited Nanzenji Temple, a popular spot for autumn leaves, and Tenju-an Temple, which has two beautiful gardens, in kimono. The autumn leaves in the eastern garden were in full bloom, and it was a magnificent view that you could see forever while sitting on the porch. Another wonderful view that sighs is the autumn leaves in the south garden, which looks like a painting, cut out by the window frame of the Shoin. When I raised my face to buy a ticket at the entrance, I jumped into my eyes first and was fascinated.

Heart stairs. It is a mystery whether the designer intended to design this place. This is the only place where the spiral staircase in the hotel becomes a heart. Please ask the hotel as the location is difficult to reach.

Exhibited for two years, 'Glass Tea House' is coming to end on 9/10 in 2017. The tea house and the benches are all made of glass, and they look beautiful in the light. What is more, the contrast with the outside view is wonderful. If you haven't seen it yet, hurry up!◎null

Kyoto's specialty is yu-dofu; soybean soft curd warmed gently in hot water. Therefore, I had wanted to eat once at 'Okutan' with a long and honorable history. Their specialty is own made 'Mukashi Dofu' used natural bittern; a coagulant extracted from seawater. It remains the firmness (tofu usually becomes soft after it boiled) and taste of soybeans.

Ōtoyo Shrine, located on the Tetsugaku-no Michi (Road of Philosophy), has a rare stone guardian mouse, and it's popular to visit here in the Year of the Mouse (one of the twelve zodiac signs in Japan). It's very lovely with a camellia flower on its head. You can find also fox, bird and snake here. We should visit this shrine specially in this year 2020.
