Kyoto of spring京都の春2  Fresh green 新緑:sinryoku  ~Jisso-in Temple実相院~

Fresh green time comes several weeks after cherry blossoms scatter.
I like both cherry blossoms and the fresh green.
Of course, in the place where colored leaves are beautiful, the fresh green is beautiful.
We went to Kyoto again on 20th. We went to the jisso-in,temple 実相院 in Kyoto next.


This temple is famous for a maple color reflected in the floor.
The colored leaves of the floor, and the green of the floor. Perhaps many tourists will come in a season.
It is a picture only for handbills in the indoor photo being prohibited. But it is the temple which is worth going to look.







The fresh green is very beautiful.

Because I went immediately in visit time, there was nobody.
We were able to monopolize a garden.
Wao!The garden was so so wonderful!!
Cherry blossoms were still in blossom surprisingly. We are lucky. (YATTA~!)
We were able to spend puite and calm time.



The garden in the inside settled down very much and was also very nice.




A maple was reflected in the surface of the water neatly.

Because it was fine on the next day when we went to Kyoto, we went to the park nearby.




The time of cherry blossoms is short.

Therefore, holiday of cherry blossoms of the season should not be overlooked because it will already have scattered next week.

Many flowers except the cherry blossoms bloomed, too,in the park.

World Heritage,Byodo-in平等院 and Ujigami sinto shrine宇治上神社

Byodo-in Temple is a world heritage.


When we look at here, We let us feel that it is 10 yen coin.So,here is a pattern of the back of ten yen coin.




These are the buddhist and buildings built 1000 years ago.
There are Bodhisattvas and a Buddhist in 鳳凰堂.
must pay money more to look in the hall,Hoo-do鳳凰堂 of center. But, because the bodhisattva 菩薩像 set up on the wall of Phoenix Hall is wonderful, I like it.

We can look in the free art museum in the garden, if we watch only a Bodhisattva.



This is a torii of the Ujigami-Shinto shrine宇治上神社.

It is a quiet, simple impression. But It is very old, and valuable Shinto shrine historically.
Because it is near Byodo-in,I suggest that you drop in at there.

In a park or a station or railway line along ets..,
When "sakura" bloom,we can see "sakura"in many place.

We went to look cherry blossoms of Kyoto this year.
We decided to go to Uji 宇治 in Kyoto京都.
Kyoto of this season's is very crowded naturally. Of course, Uji is also crowded.

However, Uji is a little away from the center.
Therefore, we can see cherry blossoms of Uji River calmly.
Moreover, Uji has the Byodo-in 平等院 of World Heritage.



Many pleasure boats appear in the river.

This is a weeping cherry tree;shidaresakura;枝垂れ桜.
branches hang down than a normal cherry tree. It's very beautiful.

Byodo-in,Templ 平等院 on the next time.

The supper of my home ~Deep fried Tohu 揚げ出し豆腐agedasi-dohu


Many Japanese love tofu.
We well just eat directly.
We sometimes burn them or fry them ,too.

cut tohu into the suitable size.
fry tofu added wheat flour or dogtooth violet starch to.
I often use potato starch.
And pour Japanese soup stock.
(The soup stock seasoned with soy sauce and sweet rice cooking wine etc.)
