Hello. This is Mizuki Yanagisawa again and
again. Sorry for posting many articles at once.
I want introduce Kyoto to you this time. I
visited here in last winter with my friends and this summer with my family. As
you already know, Kyoto is the city renowned for old buildings, temples,
shrines or festivals. Today, I would like to focus on two temples. One is
called Kinkaku-ji, and the other one is called Kiyomizu-dera (Kiyomizu-temple).
First, I want to introduce Kinkaku-ji to
you. I think you probably have been to Kinkaku- ji as a school trip when you
are child; therefore you might know pretty much about there already. Kinkaku-ji
is a Buddhist temple and is built by Yoshimitsu Asikaga in 1395. When I first
visited here with my friends, we were surprised by how glitter it is. There is
a park around this temple and you can consult the divine oracle (which means to
get an omikuji) at there. I got “Daikichi” or the best luck for omikuji!
Secondly, I want to introduce
Kiyomizu-dera. Kiyomizu-dera (or Kiyomizu temple) is first founded by Iemitsu
Tokugawa in 1633. Since this temple is located at the top of the mountain, it
is known for a beautiful landscape and scenery. At here, with my family, I
prayed to god for a food fortune.
Hi, this is Ms. MacGregor. Have your good luck omikuji promises come true? I sure hope so. My favourite temple in Kyoto is Ginkakuji. I went there last month and have been there maybe 4 times before that. I really love the garden, which you can walk all around in a circle. Next time you go to Kyoto, please remember to go there. Did you buy any souvenirs? I bought a small package of yatsuhashi, since I have loved them from when I first came to Japan.
