【京都vlog】ゆったりのんびり歴史と自然を楽しむ一週間の京都旅 | 大人の休日
This trip Avoiding crowds and taking it easy Early summer trip to Kyoto for one week A place I’ve always wanted to visit but never had the chance A temple that also appeared in the “Let’s go to Kyoto” commercial The maples are so pretty I’ll enjoy the garden for a while Imperial Household Agency in Kyoto? This is the grave of Ikkyu-san, who is famous for his wit. Ikkyu-san is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Household Agency because of the legend that he was the illegitimate son of the Emperor. At the entrance to the main hall, there is a tiger folding screen that appears in “Tiger Extermination on the Folding Screen.” It even goes all the way to the butt (lol) The garden is also amazing! A wonderful structure that gives a sense of history Ikkyu’s portable shrine! I was able to see some precious things Finally, we had some tea It comes with Ikkyu-ji natto The natto has a unique aroma and flavor (sweats) This temple is surrounded by less famous buildings An old temple built by Prince Shotoku The head priest is Ikenobo, a master of flower arrangement. The sunshine has returned I visited the temple A tour of the temple grounds The 16 Arhats in the Rokkakudo He is always smiling because of the teaching of “gentle face and kind words.” The “navel stone” was named after Rokkakudo, which was considered the center of Kyoto. It is also called the “main hall ruins stone.” Does it look hexagonal from this angle? I heard there was an observation elevator, so I decided to try it I was able to see the distinctive hexagonal roof of the Rokkakudo temple ^^ I took a break at the nearby Starbucks I arrived at the inn The hospitality at the entrance was wonderful♪ The interior is also stylish. The rooms are also nicely designed for a business hotel. For dinner, we went to a Kyoto-style izakaya. The appetizers were amazing! All the dishes were elegantly presented We had a wonderful evening Good morning Breakfast was at the hotel buffet Me and the food that was carefully arranged Husband with a greedy plate After all, buffets are fun♪ The purpose of Kiyomizu-dera is to drink water from Otowa Falls From the right, they are longevity, love fulfillment, and academic success We chose longevity We found a tea shop with a nice atmosphere Drinking matcha tea while looking at the greenery was a very luxurious experience. Passing through the tourist spot of Ninenzaka Walking around the streets of Kyoto for a while “Yasaka Koshindo”, famous for pre-wedding photo shoots The colorful “tied monkeys”, which look like beanbags, are vivid and beautiful. I’m heading to the place I was most looking forward to on this trip. “Kikusui” was featured in Harumi Kurihara’s book. It’s a shop selling raw gluten. The gluten buns I was looking for only have a one-day expiration date and are made by reservation only. I made a reservation in advance by phone. The store also sells raw gluten and simmered gluten Harumi Kurihara’s books are also available I can’t wait to open it♪ I chose the smooth bean paste and yuzu miso I decided to eat it while traveling on the train♪ Harumi Kurihara I’ll never forget how smooth and fluffy it was when I first tried it It’s different from any other fu manju I’ve ever had And it’s been my favorite ever since♪ It’s smooth and bouncy It’s bouncy and It won’t tear with your hands… Delicious! Moist and chewy!! I was moved. I’m grateful to have met you. Next, we head to Tofukuji Temple. Green leaves are spreading out. On the other side is the famous Tsutenkyo Bridge. Beautiful… Arrived at Tofukuji Temple Look at how big it is! I’m small… Wow (tears) I wanted to see the Tsutenkyo Bridge The long straight road is so beautiful It feels like it’s connected to heaven Did you notice? There are no people around We have this view all to ourselves We have the popular Tsutenkyo Bridge all to ourselves♪ What a luxurious time! Wow, so pretty♪ This is called “Kaisando” and is located at the highest point in the northern part of the temple grounds. Enjoy the garden while feeling the history. How was it made in an era without machines? I want to go back in time and see how they make them. I’m going for a walk in the garden. The colorful hydrangeas are lovely I found a heart-shaped one♥! Moss on the floor, green maple leaves on top Breathtaking beauty A share of the beauty You can take your time and relax at popular spots on weekday mornings♪ Recommended If you come to Kyoto, A place I want to visit again Found it Leaving Tofukuji, my next destination A temple I found by chance on Google Maps Wow! What a wonderful place! Hmm? Is this the admission fee? Inside the bamboo… What a great idea I’m excited♪ This wall The tea room This shoji screen The view from here The garden Everything is refined It’s soothing Relax for a while… Psychological concentration (lol) Google Maps says the garden is beautiful Exactly. I had a great time. Recommended♪ A long-established shop in search of limited edition roasted green tea This is a shop I always visit when I come to Kyoto It was also featured in Harumi Kurihara’s book♪ This is what I was looking for Hand-roasted roasted green tea, only available on Saturdays This is the cold tea they served me in the store I was so impressed by the sweetness of the first sip that I also bought this The next place I visited was A long-established pottery store I’m interested in the design of the place The bowls with lids are lovely♪ The shop staff also explained everything to me carefully I brought a lot home with me For lunch, To the pub “Tatsumi” Locals lined up before the doors even opened The menu on the wall has a retro feel♪ The anticipation is building♪ A luxurious toast to lunch♪ Let’s start with Tatsumi’s specialty, doteni Soft and fluffy Rich and goes well with beer My husband’s favorite, mackerel sushi Small portions, each plate costs a few hundred yen Cheap and delicious Kyoto staples and izakaya menu The place is busy until it closes at 10pm It’s apparently one of Kyoto’s most famous izakayas The couple’s favorite sake, “Matsumoto” I always order it when it’s available 520 yen for this amount, so reasonable ♡ Their large oysters are also Husband’s favorite dish He looks happy (^^) He told us in advance that it would take a while to prepare the “grilled salted mackerel” It was crispy, fluffy, and carefully cooked Finally, meatballs Fluffy and delicious with the sauce! It went well with the sake. The paper strips for sold-out dishes were removed… By the time I left, there was a huge gap… In the afternoon, I went to Gion. I tried on a kimono They even lent me a fox mask Even though we were in the city, the river water was crystal clear As expected from Kyoto, the city of water The weather was nice and it felt good The beautiful scenery I was entranced for a while. I played with the ducks on the way. I looked at local products. I arrived at the center of Gion. This kind of scenery is very relaxing. “Gion Tokuya” is famous for its warabimochi. You’ll have to queue during the day, but in the evening we were able to get in right away. Some items were sold out, but weekday evenings are a good time to come. Of course, we both ordered “warabi mochi” The middle is chilled with ice. My husband ordered “bancha warabi mochi.” I ordered the most popular “Hon Warabimochi” They make them after they receive an order, so I’m amazed at how popular they are! Fashionable flower-shaped kinako Pour brown sugar syrup on top and enjoy I recommend eating it with chopsticks (lol) It’s soft and chewy, but delicious♪ I found a great konpeito candy shop and took a detour♪ Japan’s only konpeito specialty store, “Ryokujuan Shimizu” We weren’t able to show you the inside of the store, but I was able to taste and buy my favorite♪ A place where you can feel the atmosphere of Kyoto the most The area is designated as a traditional buildings preservation district, One of Kyoto’s most popular spots The water in the river here is also clean and soothing A beautiful crimson color After having lots of fun, we headed for dinner For dinner, we went to “Takohachi” As soon as the restaurant opens, regulars start pouring in one after another. This restaurant was also featured in Harumi Kurihara’s book. The 11-seat counter is full as soon as the restaurant opens, making this a popular restaurant. The menu is very simple. The appetizer is the famous egg tofu. The thing on top is green yuzu This is the first time I’ve had such delicious egg tofu♪ Fried baby potatoes So cute and round Elegant sweetness and crispy texture, delicious… My husband’s favorite Raw sushi Beautiful color In the Kanto region, it’s called shimesaba The way you cut with the knife… That’s conger eel When I think of early summer in Kyoto, I think of conger eel. I was looking forward to it I had it parboiled and seared. The parboiled fish was served with a plum sauce. I had the seasonal Kyoto sea bass grilled. The soft flesh was sweet and delicious. The skin was seared separately and served to me. Crispy and fragrant. This was also delicious♪ Whatever you order, it’s delicious The owner and the landlady are wonderful They were very friendly♪ The final dish was Thai chazuke I thought it was just tea, but it was actually a rich sesame flavor I love this♪ It was unpretentious local Kappo cuisine Here it comes! Kifune Shrine, one of Kyoto’s most powerful spots It was early in the morning on a weekday, so there were hardly any people It looks like we can take our time and worship at our leisure♪ The most popular place to take photos at Kifune Shrine is the steps of Omotesando This place is usually crowded with people, but now it’s just for us♪ The grounds are not large, but you can feel the breath of the mountains. Kifune Shrine, the main shrine that enshrines the god of water, the source of life. The founding date is unknown, but there are records from 1300 years ago. Ema plaques are also said to have started at Kifune Shrine. First, greet the gods before worshipping. Oh! I forgot to bow even though I was supposed to bow twice and clap twice (^-^;) After the prayer, I received a goshuin Divine water dripping down from the mountain I heard that you can take it home if you have a container I wasn’t prepared, so I only took a little on the spot Divine water Water fortune telling Hmm… I got a small fortune, but God’s words are harsh (cry) I’ll keep God’s words in my heart I’ll entrust my wish to the water god A cute seasonal green maple leaf votive plaque♪ A sound experience that can only be heard at Kifune Shrine? The sound of the mountain, the sound of the stream, and the chirping of the birds I closed my eyes for a while, calmed my mind, and enjoyed the nature. I found a nice guide map. Visiting Kifune Shrine is called Sansha Mairi, and it seems that you visit the main shrine, inner shrine, and Yuisha. It’s quite a distance to Okumiya (sweat) It’s a little far from the main shrine, but we’re heading to the Sansha Mairi After passing a beautiful waterfall, we say goodbye to the main shrine We walk along the river as if we’re taking a stroll The riverside has seasonal riverside seating The cool riverside seating is perfect for this season! When did it start? I feel a sense of wabi-sabi A giant tree with a sacred rope stretching the boundary Two sacred trees, called Aioi no cedars, that are 1,000 years old and grew from the same root It seems that both husband and wife have a long life, so it’s perfect for us Arrived at the ketsusha, the palace where the Empress is The deity worshipped is the god of matchmaking It’s a small shrine, but it’s popular as the god of matchmaking Inside the shrine grounds is a natural stone in the shape of a boat called “Amenoiwafune” It’s 3m long and weighs 6t It’s said that boats are connected to the belief in matchmaking, as they connect people On the way, we discovered a giant tree that people can walk through! I was able to take some nice pictures♪ Next, I found a deer The approach to the inner shrine is now in sight It seems that in the old days, people would purify themselves in this stream before worshipping The approach is lined with old cedar trees, creating a solemn atmosphere It’s a lovely, tasteful chozuya. Now, on to the inner shrine. Once you pass through the shrine gate, a large space opens up before you. You can see the worship hall and the main hall behind it. These are some fierce-looking lion-dogs (sweats). There is a big hole called “Ryuketsu” directly below the main hall of the Okumiya. It is said to be a powerful power spot. In its quiet appearance, you can feel the dignity of an ancient shrine. The correct way to visit the three shrines is to worship at the main shrine, then the Okumiya, then the Yuisha. I regretted finding out later… I want to make sure I don’t make the same mistake next time. I’m getting hungry, so I’m going to have some riverside cuisine under the water god. This view and the sound of the water are wonderful, aren’t they? The appetizer, sashimi, and stew arrived. Even though it was lunchtime, they brought out the food in order, which was a nice touch. Eating food while feeling the sound of the water with your whole body is something else. A slightly intimidating sweetfish slowly grilled over charcoal Amago trout and wild vegetable tempura Beautifully colored somen noodles A luxurious lunch In the afternoon, we went to Kurama Temple We decided to go over Mount Kurama It’s a very charming approach to the shrine After about 20 minutes of walking, we finally saw the building It’s called the Demon King’s Palace We continued along the mountain path The next place we came across was the Fudodo Fudodo It’s still a long way to the main hall (sweat) The stone where Ushiwakamaru compared heights I’m taller!? After that, we continued over the tree root path While visiting the hall We arrived at the main hall in just over an hour It was a really impressive gathering of people By chance, we came across something called a “bamboo cutting ceremony” I looked it up and it turns out to be a very famous event It’s one of the oldest events in Kyoto, with a history of over 1000 years It was worth the effort to get over the mountain Thankful for the wonderful encounter I’m going down the mountain I’m moved by the beautiful scenery We were exhausted We took the cable car down the mountain in one go We were able to get down in no time (lol) Thank you for your help, Mr. Cane Finally, we said hello at the main gate, Niomon We strolled around the souvenir shops Lots of Tengu-related souvenirs As expected from the home of Tengu There are also many Tengu-related exhibits in Kurama Station After a short train ride into town I discovered stepping stones, which often appear in movies! It’s wonderful that the town is picturesque no matter where you look. It wasn’t in my plans, but I was passing by, so I decided to pay my respects. The approach to the shrine is wide! The chozuya (purification fountain) is also beautifully designed. A famous shrine that appears in works such as The Tale of Genji and The Pillow Book. It is believed to be the god who opened up Kyoto. The main hall and shrine buildings are national treasures and important cultural properties, and are treasures of Japan. Speaking of Shimogamo Shrine, it is the water divination that appears in the drama. This area may be more famous than the main shrine. Aioisha Shrine, known for its miraculous powers in matchmaking. A sacred tree enshrined next to the shrine. It is called the “Renri no Kenboku” (“Whole Tree of Mercy”) Two trees are tied together. The national anthem “Kimigayo” is here Tired from walking, so I slept soundly without doing anything zzz Early morning in Arashiyama The morning mist is so fantastic Like magic Taking a walk while taking in the fresh air Bamboo forest path Beautiful… A place I’ve always wanted to come to Listening to the birds singing, I feel it with my whole body There are no people around in the early morning, it’s just our own world I’m glad I got up early To Nonomiya Shrine, not far from the bamboo forest The greenery is so beautiful I love the sound of the gravel and it makes me so happy♪ I’m so grateful to be able to travel Everything I see is so beautiful More than small worries My feelings of gratitude grow. The sun rises, and it’s a clear day with no fog. The boat looks like something out of a painting. Instead of the famous Tenryuji Temple in Arashiyama, I chose Hogon-in Temple to avoid the crowds. Green maple leaves, flowers, moss, rocks, birds chirping. The sound of the wind Experience the garden with all five senses That’s the concept of this garden Because of the splendor of the garden It’s also used for filming period dramas I felt relaxed♪ When you think of Kyoto, you think of yudofu! To Takemura, a famous restaurant in Arashiyama I was looking forward to it We both chose different courses Wow, that looks delicious! “The tofu starts dancing” What a wonderful way to phrase it The tofu is from the famous, long-established store “Saga Tofu Morika” It’s handmade tofu that’s been around since the Edo period Apparently, it’s used by famous stores Sesame tofu, a specialty of the shop The moment the bridge is added, the softness is different Rich and soft, it’s delicious♪ The tofu starts to dance Is it about time? Be careful not to break it… Rich and silky smooth, it was delicious~ Togetsukyo Bridge, which I crossed in the morning It’s picturesque, isn’t it? Finally, we looked at souvenirs Leaving Arashiyama behind Wow! A foot bath on the station platform! My first time in Uji Beautiful scenery centered around the Uji River, which has flowed for more than a thousand years Numerous historical and cultural heritage sites representing each era A precious place that conveys the breath of each era to the present Let’s take a leisurely tour of the city of Uji First, we’ll start with the lodging in Uji that we’ve been looking forward to♪ We’ve arrived at our lodging for the night This is Hanayashiki Ukifune-en Is this really the building? ? It seems to have been the old building (^^;) This is our current lodging So, let’s try it again The entrance has a nostalgic feel You can enjoy the view of the Uji River right in front of you There’s also a stylish bar next door A lovely terrace seating To the room ♪♪♪ Nice view♪ Let’s go take a bath first The view from the open-air bath was great Dinner time♪ Starving Dinner is kaiseki cuisine I wonder what kind of taste I’ll encounter today I’m looking forward to it Cute temari♪ Cold chawanmushi Chawanmushi is my favorite♪ Refreshing and delicious~ Sashimi Hamo soup Seasonal cold bowls are also beautiful From my favorite young corn Delicious food makes you want to drink more (lol) Huh? This corn cob… The corn paste is elaborate As expected, it is a kaiseki meal When you think of Kyoto, you think of yuba I’ll have it shabu-shabu style It’s rich and delicious♪ The rest is Hotpot I enjoyed the Kyoto-style food Thank you for the meal 5am Sunrise is coming Early morning stroll through the town of Uji Little by little, the morning sun shines A fantastic landscape A place I wanted to visit for an early morning walk The main hall is the oldest shrine building in Japan It is also registered as a World Heritage Site The only remaining “Kirihara Water” of the “Seven Famous Waters of Uji” A great atmosphere with a sense of history Water is bubbling up inside. This is the first time I’ve ever seen such a chozuya. It’s a bit daunting. I’ll be grateful to use it. Going behind the worship hall, a national treasure, Wow! 448
00:57:18,872 –> 00:57:21,875
The oldest shrine building in Japan is unveiled The wood used is amazing because it dates back to the Heian period The structure is simple, but you can feel the weight of history The corridor of autumn leaves leading to Koshoji Temple Such a wonderful space We have it all to ourselves now The murmuring of the Uji River is soothing What a luxurious moment We crossed the Asagiri Bridge, but now we’re looking down The town that is bustling during the day is now quiet We’ve reached Uji Bridge It was also featured in a historical drama. The sidewalk behind Byodoin Temple is lined with autumn leaves. The morning air, the flow of the river, and the green leaves. It’s the perfect combination. Huh? There’s a space beside the sidewalk!! What, this building! 466
00:59:18,758 –> 00:59:21,761
Byodoin Phoenix Hall I’ll take a look around for a bit m(__)m Should we head back to the inn now? A building with a lovely atmosphere It’s like I’ve traveled back in time to the Edo period I’d like to see some cormorant fishing as well Walking around Uji It was a fulfilling morning♪ Took a morning bath Breakfast♪ Looks delicious♪ Eggs and pickles are self-service These are free-range eggs called WABISUKE, a specialty of Uji. How wonderful to split them with a splitting stone♪ Ahh, I’m so happy♥ It was a wonderful inn. The place we wanted to visit in Uji at this time of year. Temple number 10 of the 33 Kannon temples of the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage. Mimuroto Temple It has one of the best hydrangea gardens in Kyoto It’s perfect for my husband, who loves temples and shrines, and me, who loves flowers Let’s start by praying It’s said that stroking Uga-sama will bring you good luck and fortune Maybe it’s because it’s hydrangea season. It’s so crowded even on a weekday. There’s a huge line to get a goshuin (cry) Walk around the temple grounds a bit more Finally, we’re heading to our destination, the hydrangea garden. Oh! I found a heart-shaped one♪ There are flowers that you can enjoy at that time of year It seems obvious, but It’s lovely, isn’t it? Colorful hydrangeas There are lots of hydrangeas with unusual petals There are lots of photo spots We had a photo shoot together (lol) We really enjoyed the hydrangeas♪ Move to Uji Station For lunch we went to Ito Kyuemon My husband had green tea soba The side dish was also green tea (as you’d expect from a tea town) I had udon and hydrangea parfait Beautiful colors♪ What flavor do you think it is? It’s curry udon It’s not too sweet and it’s delicious♪ Thank you for the meal The last place I visited on this trip I haven’t been to Ginkakuji since my school trip I’m a little worried about the weather An admission ticket that will bring good luck♪ My husband is good at history, so I’ll go along with it Exciting♪ As soon as we pass through the entrance, Ginkakuji Temple will welcome us♪ A huge pile of sand for viewing the moon “Kogetsudai” The garden is a special historic site and a special place of scenic beauty “Ginshadan” (Silver Beach) that resembles waves It is said to reflect moonlight and brighten up Ginkakuji I’d like to see it on a moonlit night A beautiful garden The atmosphere of the water flowing in the pond is so beautiful♪ The carpet of moss Awesome! To the observation deck, which is a must-see On the way there is the “Tea Well” Apparently, this is the spring water that Ashikaga Yoshimasa used to make tea A spring in the temple grounds! 531
01:07:43,730 –> 01:07:46,733
Climbing further It’s steeper than I thought (sweat) Finally to the top Wow! Look at this view♪ I feel like I want to paint this♪ I’m not very good at it though(^-^;) I’ve been enjoying it for a lot longer than the others It’s like I’m in a Ghibli world It feels like an echo is coming out The rain comes and goes The rainy atmosphere is also wonderful The rain is getting stronger again Ginkakuji in the rain is very atmospheric I want to drink tea slowly while looking at this view I’ve been here once before I’m very satisfied with the first impression I’ve seen♪ To this shop on the Philosopher’s Path Lots of stylish tableware and miscellaneous goods Stones? If you look closely, you’ll see it’s a candle Stylish♪ Let’s take one home♪ We love tableware, so we’ll enjoy it slowly This is what caught our attention A lovely pattern♪ This one was love at first sight♪ I decided on the shape I liked and how it felt to touch I took this one home too♥ I’ve always wanted to walk the Philosopher’s Path Unfortunately it’s raining, A leisurely stroll It’s been a while since I’ve been to Kyoto It was a very satisfying trip♪
