Finding fireflies..

Hi there^^

What a damp weather we are having these days...sigh
However, we have something special here in Kyoto, that we can see only for a couple of weeks, espeaiclly in the rainy season.
"Fireflies"
As you can imagine from its name, they are flying insect that glow in the dark.
You can see them here in Kyoto city if you go a little up north.
One of the best places to see fireflies is "Kamigamo Shrine".
In this season, lots of people visit the shrine in a search of fireflies.

And I am one of them...lol








I should have brought my digital camera...shouldn't I? lol
I hope you can see those little tiny dots in the dark.
They are the fireflies flying along the creek in the shrine.
How about walking around in the shrine looking for fireflies
on those few sunny days in this rainy season?
You would see lots of them if you are lucky enough^^
We will keep you posted with more photos of Kyoto and Japan!
See you next time!!!

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!
