Happy Holiday!

I guess many people have already decorated their houses for christmas.


Japan is not a Catholic country, so we don't really adore christmas and have a routine on christmas day. We don't have a custom like spending christmas time with family nor don't get together with relatives. What we do on christmas is having a party with friends or going for dinner with girlfriend or boyfriend.

Even though we are not a Catholic country, town or houses are decorated and christmas musics are been playing everywhere. It is just one of the big anual commercial events. This is not ironic meaning because I like christmas;)

We NISHIYAMA RYOKAN also decorated our ryokan a little bit.



A hand made small christmas tree and a little bear welcome you at the reception!


Happy Holiday♪

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.
