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!
