TRIP (inside JAPAN)

2019.12.30 2012.12.16

Then I moved to Kofuku-ji (興福寺) . This is world heritage. I took much picture there, but I couldn’t take well except this 🙁

There is a national treasure hall in the ground.

Taking a picture in the hall is prohibited. Large number of Buddha statues are in.
Statue of Senju Kannon Bosatsu (Thousand-Armed Kannon) is so big.

There was a crowd(principally ladies) in front of statue of Ashura . Though it is a statue of buddha, very popular among women because it have a good face like a boy.

Well, I didn’t think so…

Nanendo (南円堂)

Hokuendo was under repair….

risky,,,,, this shop is risky ? Such a unpretentious shop have aggressive name!

Five-storied pagoda can be seen.

Gango-ji (元興寺)
It is world heritage, too. But there were not much tourists like Kofuku-ji.

Maple leaves were bright.

I like such a viewing.It seemed a framed picture.

Gokurakubō (極楽坊本堂)
Main worship hall.

After arriving at my accommodation, I went to curry shop named Tarikaro .
Tarikaro set (タリカロセット) 1800 yen. Shop’s waitress said me mixing curry and chicken and rice. I tried a bit, but I didn’t like eating them together. When I eat some kinds of curries, I want to enjoy the difference of tastes.

My accommodation had only two shower room. I wanted to take a bath, so I went to sento that called Onishi-yu. This was a small sento but I warmed myself to the marrow by taking a long hot bath 🙂 Sento fixed charge in Nara is 350 yen. Lower than Chiba’s.
