A temple in hydrangea season

Today it was raining, then hydrangea flowers were so beautiful.
Tomorrow it will be raining, then it's so lovely.

Rainy season is not so bad! I'm sure!!

If it's rainy, you can watch the rain drops on leaves. If it's sunny, you can go everywhere.



Yeah, the weather is fine. And this temple, Mimurodo-ji temple is so nice to visit.
Because of....


Those beautiful flowers!
O.K. Don't hate the rainy season. it's with a lot of nice things!

Oh, oh, but, it's finished within a few weeks.
That's also nice, because summer will have just come, then.

4 seasons in Japan, you will find this and that.
Enjoy them!!!

Present from France, the Eiffel tower

When you go to France and don't have enough time to explore for sight seeing everywhere, you have to choose a few great sight seeing spots, such as this tower everybody knows. 


It has a so beautiful figure. I like that angle of pillars in the under part of the tower.

Well, I've never seen it. I've seen it just in a picture. I want to go to France to watch so many things! Until then, I must watch just this golden Eiffel tower with my longing.
Yes!! It's also so beautiful! Thank you for the good present!

Our guest gave us his college T-shirt

Our guest gave us a present.


It's nice T-shirt, isn't it?

This is a college T-shirt which the guest used to go.
He left it for the memorial of staying at A-yado.
Thank you!!
So now we put it on the wall at the reception.

Does anyone know where this college is?
People from USA might know this T-shirt.
Also if anyone graduated the same college, it might remind you  your college life at A-yado.

If somebody would like to leave your college T-shirt at A-yado, please let us know.
We are collecting them!!

Present from Netherlands

Yes, it's a famous one from Netherlands.


When you go to that country, you will find the souvenir everywhere.
They, a girl and boy, look really happy and chummy. When I watched them, I hope that they will be grown up together, and will get along with each other together.

They make me nostalgic. Thank you for the good present!

Kyoto tower


This is Kyoto tower.
It's standing 131 meters tall just across Kyoto station.
Kyoto tower is  the tallest building in Kyoto.

Do you know when the Kyoto tower was completed?
The answer is in 1964.
It's the same year as the opening of Shinkansen and the Tokyo olympics.
It's been the face of Kyoto station since then.

When you go to the top of the tower, you can enjoy the panorama view of the city.
Also, there is a public bath in the underground.

You should go there and see a beautiful Kyoto's view on the top of the tower.

Beautiful rainy season

Here is a temple in Kyoto which is famous for hydrangea flowers. 


The name is Mimurodo-ji temple(三室戸寺, みむろどじ). I like the place, especially, in this rainy season in the first part of July, because of  hydrangea flowers.


Right, they are so beautiful. I cannot express the whole of my feeling, when I watch them. Without needing to say anything,  I'll be involved in a fascinating world, feeling that they are from a fantasia.

The photo is not enough for me!
O.K. I should go there!
