Such a picturesque rock garden, I can't even imagine how relaxing it would be to just sit down somewhere nice in the garden on a quiet day and enjoy lunch or some tea. Mibudera is another temple I need to add to my list for the next time I visit Kyoto I suppose. I wonder if there are any koi in the pond at all. I never knew that this temple was the headquarters of the Shinsengumi either, that's some pretty cool history. I guess that explains why they have such a nice rock garden though. I'd like to explore this place a bit, I guess there's a graveyard dedicated to members of the Shinsengumi here as well. Sounds like a really interesting place to visit. Of course it's Kyoto too, so that's to be expected

After the heavy rain, I want to see the garden of Mibudera again, where water accumulated in the pond and sparkled!
I want to go to Kyoto!

Horai Bridge is the longest wooden pedestrian bridge in the world. It is a wooden bridge over the Oi River in Shimada City, Shizuoka Prefecture. <Quoted from Shimada City website> Horai Bridge is an agricultural bridge built in 1879 (Meiji 12) to clear the Makinohara Plateau. Before the bridge was built, you had to cross the Oi River by small boat. It was dangerous to go back and forth. It is still used by farmers in the old city to manage the tea plantation on the opposite bank. In addition to playing an important role as a farm road, the Horai Bridge is a historic land improvement facility.

What a cool looking lizard, that blue tail is really something else. Kenroku-en is a garden that I really want to visit specifically because it has so much awesome natural scenery. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've actually seen any lizards or geckos in Japan... I haven't exactly been looking for them as much as I would have when I was a kid but I really should try to keep my eye out for some of the smaller creatures to be found in Japan. I've seen a serow really close before and thankfully haven't run into any bears while in Japan but I'd definitely like to see more wildlife as it's quite different than the wildlife where I'm from. On a side note I learned a new phrase in Japanese recently that has to do with lizards - トカゲの尻尾切り - apparently it means to evade blame by pinning it on a subordinate and abandoning them. Thought that was pretty funny lol

This photo was taken at Kenrokuen Garden.
When I was walking and looked down, there was a lizard, so I approached slowly and snapped.
The moment I was able to take this picture, I was glad I came to Ishikawa Prefecture!

When Corona subsides, I want to travel to various places again.

Koedogawagoe Walk Japanese candle HAZE Be healed by candlelight It's not about things to give Lighting time Japanese candles bought as memories Seasonal Japanese candle "See you tomorrow" I want to visit again after corona Japanese candle HAZE "See you tomorrow." Instead of saying goodbye, the word "see you tomorrow" is a wish for a reunion. The time when all mankind communicates with each other True peace comes. “See you tomorrow” Not to mean “good-bye” but a word that looks forward to a “reunion.” When we exchange the words “See you tomorrow” between all mankind, this is when true peace comes.

This looks like a really cool place to visit in Yamanashi if you're heading over to Mt. Fuji or the five lakes. Apparently this place (Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba) was destroyed by a landslide caused by a typhoon in the 60s but was rebuilt some 40 years later. Looks like there's a bunch of stuff to do as well: museums, galleries, craft making experiences, etc. I'm curious as to whether or not the thatched roofs are constructed the same way as the Gassho-zukuri roofs of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, as they look very similar. I bet it'd look really nice in the winter when it snows and there's also cherry blossoms in the area so that'd be nice for visiting in the spring. Looks fun!

Lined with thatched-roof houses overlooking Mt. Fuji, a World Heritage Site
"West Lake Healing Village".

There is no doubt that you will be healed by the original scenery of the Japan.

The night feast of the Nagara River flowing along Gifu Castle, where Oda Nobunaga departed from Tenkafubu. This dance boat serves as a prelude to the start of the Gifu Nagara River Ukai, and performs the Noryo dance on weekends from summer to autumn. Last year, unfortunately, due to the influence of the new coronavirus, dancers wore face shields. I want the Coronavirus pandemic to end as soon as possible and return to the summer bustle of the Nagara River.
