Geisha Makeover Experience

There are lots of recommended spots in Kyoto, but this time I, Takazawa from Maiko Experience Place GION AYA, would like to introduce you to a place that is a little chilly this time of year, but that I would like you to visit!!

English version of this blog. → "Click here!!" Hello everyone. A big cold wave has hit the Japanese archipelago! After a string of warm days this winter, this cold weather is really taking its toll on the body. It seems like influenza is also spreading, so we need to be careful! This time, I'm Takazawa, who has never had the flu in my life, and I'm here to tell you about "A trip to Ohara, Kyoto in winter." The first place we went to was"Jakkoin Temple" A rough explanation isIt was founded by Prince Shotoku in 594 and is now known as the place associated with "The Tale of the Heike." It was very quiet and the air was clear. It's nice to visit a shrine or temple after it's rained (^^♪ First, we headed to the main hall to listen to a talk and were able to hear about the history of Jakkoin. It wasn't a long visit, but even if you visit without knowing anything about it, your perspective will change and you'll think "Oh! So that's how it was ＼(◎o◎)／!" After listening to the talk, we were shown the garden. "Moss, moss, moss"What is famous for"Sanzenin"But this was also very beautiful. And for lunch, I chose "Hot springs and wild boar hotpot at Ohara Sanso." I hope I can incorporate this year's zodiac sign into my body and stay healthy for the year.)^o^( "Hot Springs and Hot Pot"What a luxury☆ After lunch I headed out with cute Ohara girls in my eyes and walked. walked. walked. walked. The slope was tough for Takazawa who lacks exercise (>_<) We went a little beyond Sanzenin Temple."Hosen-in Temple" Rough explanation Part 2　It seems to have been founded in 1235, but the name is somewhat difficult to write and it seems to be "Hosenbo", which is said to have been the temple of the head priest of Ohara-ji Temple (Shorin-in) since the end of the Heian period and has continued to exist to the present day. *Through the bamboo branches of this temple The pure sound of the wind blowing Poems like this are also written. Sorry <(_ _)> History is complicated and difficult, but it's interesting when you learn about it...?! "Bangakien Garden", "Horakuen Garden", "Tsurukame Garden", "Picture Frame Garden", "Blood Ceiling", "Stone Plate", "Five-leaf Pine Tree, Approximately 700 Years Old"　←It is a famous temple that is a Kyoto City Natural Monument! Sarutahiko OkamiThere was a small shrine there. The winter sunlight is soft and mysterious. And the other place I visited that day was also famous."Shimogamo Shrine" This year'sZodiac sign: BoarA very impressive large votive plaque!!
