Kyoto City Hall

It is very nice to walk around NISHIYAMA RYOKAN.



Along the Teramachi street Oike Agaru, next to Nishiyama Ryokan, there are some small shops which are hand crafts made by bamboo, paper, and furnitures...



After 5 minutes walk, you will find the Kyoto city hall.



Here, at the square in front of city hall, I found interesting "gifts", given from other foreign sister city to Kyoto city.

Kyoto has seven sister cities around the world.



Paris (France): The Name Plate " Place de Kyoto" which is also located in Paris!














Boston and Paris: The Gaslights









Cologne (Germany): The Mosaic. The original was found in 1844 and preserved in the museum as the most important thing in Cologne.
















Kiev (Ukraine): The Friendship Monument.


Firenze ( Italy) : The Statue of Puccino ( replica), made by Andrea Bellocchio. 15 c.










I think most of the people do not realize about these,
but i thought this is nice to see.


It is interesting and you can feel like being in another country!
Let's walk in Kyoto and find new things.

Lucky Taxi

This morning, a yasaka taxi with pattern of a four-leaf clover came to our ryokan. Most yasaka taxies are with a three-leaf clover. Taxies with a four-leaf clover are only 4 in Kyoto city. We cannot make a reservation, so this is very lucky. It is said that this taxi bring you a lucky. If you ride on it, you can get a special certificate and sticker. When youcome to Kyoto, let’s find yasaka taxi with pattern of a four-leaf clover. May this picture bring you good luck!

Travel to another city

I went to small trip to FUKUI prefecture last weekend. for Fukui I leave Kyoto at 11am I arrive there about 2pm by car. I have never been there before this is my first time. I live in kyoto city so I do not have so many chance to watch sea so I really enjoy driving the sea front . Fukui is very famous for sea food and hot spring. The weather is very cold when I was there so hot spring was really nice to keep me warm after the hot spring I had seafood. on the way hope I still feel warm because of the hot spring . I could really enjoy and relax on this small trip. From Kyoto station to Fukui station is 1hour and half by Shinkansen.
