Tori-shin (鳥新)

We had a lunch at Tori-shin its located between Sanjo and Shijo near Yasaka Shrine.

The menu is only "Oyako-don"
it is Japanese rice bowl dish.
Chicken, egg, sliced scallion, and other ingredients are all simmered together in a sauce and then served on top of a large bowl of rice.















Yasaka-Shrine
 West tower gate as the picture looks to be the front of Yasaka Shrine but in fact, it is not a front gate here.
The front gate rounds in front of the front shrine and "is straight the south tower gate" in the place toward the south.


In fact, main shrines of Yasaka Shrine usually deliver "a main shrine" and "a front shrine" of the outbuildings in a unique form called "Gion-tukuri" under one roof.
Therefore the architecture that a worshiper gives prayer to "front shrine" and "main shrine" at the same time.

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.

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.
