5月31日 ・ Kyoto The day starts with a good breakfast to Japanese, there is also the raw egg to put in the rice!
Take the bus, and we move into an area north-east of Kyoto, in the mountains.
The landscape is beautiful (except that I still worry when I check the machines on the right curves: "Look what is in the wrong as" I think, before I realized that I'm not against the traffic ...). If it were not for Japanese homes, the valley where we are reminds me of the Garfagnana.
After about forty minutes to arrive
Ohara, and the bus stop we climb up a narrow road along a small stream. On the other hand there are many very nice small shops, selling everything, and people are also very nice.
after negotiations begin temples.
Il tempio più in alto si chiama Raigon, ed è molto antico.
Questo luogo circondato dal bosco ha un'aurea potentissima, mentre i templi che abbiamo visitato ieri in città erano sì molto belli, ma forse anche troppo, sembravano più ville di lusso che luoghi di meditazione e di preghiera, qui c'è un'atmosfera del tutto diversa, difficile da spiegare a parole.
Torniamo un po' giù lungo il torrente, ed entriamo nel
Sanzenin . Questo è un tempio molto grande, con un ampio
giardino and various halls (there are statues
beautiful), but even here there is a very beautiful.
In this hall you can also try to write a sutra with the brush, which is a practice of meditation and prayer.
Exit Sanzenin, we still have a place that Kayoko I want to see absolutely. While most visitors never go beyond questo tempio, che è meritatamente molto famoso, noi andiamo un po' più avanti lungo una stradina lastricata poco frequentata.
Ci sono altri piccoli templi, la nostra meta è l'
Hosenin .
Per prima cosa facciamo il giro di questo giardino, che è piccolo ma incredibile.
Poi ci avviamo verso l'ingresso.
Varcata la soglia, c'è subito un altro giardino.
E poi un altro che si può vedere da questa stanza.
E infine arriviamo nella stanza principale, dove ci si siede a contemplare il giardino centrale, inquadrato nella cornice formata dalle travi come se fosse un dipinto, sulla destra c'è un boschetto di bambù, e di fronte questo pino vecchio di 700 anni.
Ai visitatori viene servita anche una tazza di matcha.
Qui mi dispiace davvero, ma nessuna foto può rendere giustizia alla meraviglia di questo posto, avevo le lacrime agli occhi. Sarei potuta stare seduta lì tutto il giorno.
Mettendo l'orecchio su queste canne, si può ascoltare il suono delle gocce che cadono in profondità.
With great effort and a bit 'with a heavy heart we can move away from there, the program plans to return to the city. But before we stop to eat here
Yuba eat it, which is basically the film that forms on soy milk when it boils to prepare tofu. This is fresh and delicious, especially with all my milk.
way back to the bus, along the river, next to his master that I can not remember what they sold, there's this great big cat!
A manekineko greets us, I hope to return here one day, this place I really remains in my heart ...
I got back in the big city, I can picture the two logos on the bus for the pregnant woman, both very beautiful, the one on the right we see often in Tokyo, one on the left but I had never seen before.
Today we focus on the north-west of the city, the first half is the famous Golden Pavilion
.
What about this place? It 's very nice and is certainly to be seen, especially from a distance is an incredible view, but in a sense it too! And then go again to the speech than before, again this seems no longer a temple, it has nothing to do with the atmosphere this morning was to Ohara ...
Nearby is the
Ryoanji, the famous temple garden of stones with
, and this was my biggest disappointment in Kyoto. Kayoko had warned me that we would find many tourists, which is fine, this is conceivable, but that all speak so loudly out of control, this just did not expect, as a rock garden should be a place of contemplation.
The atmosphere is really time to zero, and we go almost immediately.
We move towards the
Ninnaji . First look the other buildings around there ...
... and then enter.
This is again a very quiet place, and we visit throughout tranquuillità, that the building is the garden are wonderful.
We are now in the late afternoon, and we back this evening after dinner we would go for a walk downtown.
So here we are in a very special street in Kyoto, are all the restaurants, sometimes at the sides of the alley opening of the long corridors of wood at the end of which is the front door.
Here we are next to the Kabuki theater, this is a kind of bar of the theater.
Going from a street to another, we find a very nice shop, and there, because even today when we came down the mountain here in Kyoto was a crazy hot, I make the big step and I buy the umbrella of sun!
We then another street, in the geisha district, were it not for a taxi that runs every now and then, would seem to be in another century, the lighting is very dim and it seems to be in a movie. (But not Geishas abbiamo visto, solo dall'autobus nel pomeriggio una maiko che prendeva il taxi...)
Io sono stanchissima, è stata una giornata molto piena, anche di emozioni, e comunque l'ultimo autobus passa molto presto, Kayoko da buona tokyoita è scandalizzata da questa cosa ma per me è un po' una fortuna, ho veramente bisogno di chiudere gli occhi per un po'...
