The ancient city.


Toward my favorite city,Nara.
古都、奈良までの旅。

Firstday,I went to Hasedera temple that has a beautiful cloister.
初日、美しい回廊で有名な長谷寺へ。


Sometime I met cats.


Horyuji temple:It was accredited as World heritage Site.
法隆寺。柿食えばーと何回も心の中で一句詠む。

How beautiful autumnal sky was!


And I stayed at a temple.
There're "Gyokuzouin"in mountain of Shiki.
信貴山玉蔵院という宿坊へ泊まる。
9月の平日に泊まるのなんて暇なわたしだけ。



2nd day,I could go long-planned place,Shin-yakusiji temple.
2日目、念願の新薬師寺へ。
ここはすんばらしい十二神将立像が見れる!!


It was coming of autumn.
秋が始まってるワ。


Spider lily in Koufukujitemple:)
興福寺の彼岸花。

And I went to Yoshino mountain to stay.
それから泊まるために吉野山へ。。


By a cable car.


I met Garman who can't speak and understand Japanese totally.
I helped his trip a little.
Bcs almost Yoshino people can't speak English.
全く日本語が解ってないドイツ人に出会った。
そして無垢な吉野の人は英語が話せない。
そりゃ、助けるしかない。

He's curious about Japanese history and tradition.
His knowledge was better than mine:P
彼はやたら日本の歴史に詳しかった。
もうオタクの領域だ。
彼は山伏に憧れていた。
わたし忍者になりたいんだよねーと話すと、がんばれ!と真剣に言われた。

We talked about many thing and walked around Yosinocity together.
その日は彼と寺をまわってわたしは飛鳥へ。

Okadera temple in Asuka.
Asuka is the most ancient city in Japan.
岡寺。仏像も庭もすばらしい。


I was alone.
But I met many people and many thing.
The most imprassive thing was to feel Japan over anything else.
