Bicycle Tour2










Nanzenji Temple 
From Heian Shrine to Nanzenji Temple it takes 15 minuites by bycicle.
Nanzenji Temple is very beautiful and little bit cool compares the central area of town in summer because its located on the mountain  also in the fall  there are red leaves on trees, you must see it. You can include Eikando Temple to your trip it is nearby Nanzenji Temple.









Suirokaku

It is one of the famous spot in Nnazenji Temple, most people visit for Suirokaku.

Suirokaku made of brics, cultural assimilation between Japanese and Western that makes little bit strange but beutiful.

Suirokaku made in 1888 for carry water from Biwako lake in Shiga to Kyoto.











Chion-in Temple

One of the biggest gate called Sanmon in Japan it is national tresure and made of wodden height 24 meters, width 50 meters and depth 12 meters.

Sanmon has 3 means "do not deeply attach to things"; "do not discriminate with an appearance"; "do not demand it on greed"










Otoko-Zaka (Men's slope)

That you climb the stone stairway called "Men's slope" for the stone stairway that an incline is hard, the person that heart and a knee is weak, I do not recommend to climb up and down.
There is "Women's slope" into the right hand of Men's slope, it is a loose slope compare with the other one.

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.
