Nara to Kyoto

May 13

It was a heavy rainy day in Nara.

 

I went to Toshodaiji Temple in the rain.

It is a very old temple in Japan.

 

 

There were a few persons there because of the heavy rain.

I was soaking very much.

 

 

Then I went to Yakushiji Temple.

It was also a very old temple.

 

 

I came here my junior high school days last time.

The temple has been rebuilt a lot.

 

 

I was surprised at seeing its big scale.

 

 

Then I moved to Kyoto in early evening.

 

 

I went to Mamecha, a small Kyoto cuisine restaurant in Ishibei-Kouji.

 

 

 

I enjoyed very good local cuisines.

 

 

 

 

I chose a bottle of Koshu white wine and Burgundy red wine.

They were also very nice.

 

 

 

It was a fantastic two-day trip to Nara and Kyoto.

 

Thank you very much!
