Rainy season

The rainy season has started in Japan.
It was sticky today.
Everything seems to be damp:(

We can enjoy to see some seasonal animals and plants.
This is the picture of it.
Yes, it is hydrangeas.

They need lots of water to grow up.







Sometimes, we see a picture that was drawn with snails like below.

Snails like damp place, in short, this picture make us to imagine the rainy season.
However, it is hard to see them in the same time.

Because there is a toxin in hydrangea's leaves.
It harms them.
Moreover, snails stick on the concrete to get calcium from them.


I just heard from TV show though...

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.

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.
