There is a famous shrine called Tenkawa-Daibenzaiten-sha(Tenkawa-shrine).

Kanku(関空） Access Ticket

Do you know that there is a special ticket from Kyoto to Kansai Airport(関西国際空港）?

It is called "Kanku Access Ticket".
Everyone think that the transport of Japan is very expensive.
But if you find the cheap tickets like that, you can save much money.
This ticket costs only 1200yen. It is 20% cheaper than a normal ticket.
I think it is the cheapest way to go to Kansai Airport from A-yado.
If you would like to know more detail, ask our stuff when you are here.
Actually, i'm going to Kansai Airport with this ticket and fly to Okinawa(沖縄） which is the southernmost prefecture of Japan tomorrow.
Okinawa is a summer resort and there is a very beautiful sea around Okinawa Island.
I'm really looking forward to going there.
When i come back, i'll let you know about my trip in Okinawa!!

Geisha Girls on Shinbashi St.

When I walked along Shinbashi St.(新橋通り), I found a lot of people with cameras on their hands to shoot something. That scenery is not very special in Kyoto, because Kyoto has so many things, which eventually happens.

This is one of them! A beautiful geisha girls in kimono. Normally, they walk down on a street in evening one by one. This time around noon I found them as a group. It's something special!

I look for information about them for the day. Because I didn't know why they were walking together in day time. But, I couldn't X( I guess that was something very local, or it's just by chance.

Anyway it was nice to take a look at! In June, There was the strong sunshine. Their white make-up were like shining!

Prizes of Crane Games

They are Danish students.
The woman on the right is our guest. she is living in Denmark.
The woman on the left is her friend. she is studying at a university in Kyoto as an exchange student.
They met for the first time in about 3 months in Kyoto.


They showed off many stuffs at the reception in the photo.
they got them from crane games at a game arcade.

In Japan there are many game arcades and most of them have crane games.
They love arcade games and they always get many prizes.


Actually they are not so interested in prizes.
Their hunting instinct is stimulated by these games and they can not stop playing them.

They gave me this small toy.
This is a mascot of duck.


Their trouble is that they got too many prizes to carry them back to their home country.
