貴船と鞍馬

These weeks are really nice to enjoy nature. All leaves has been turned to orange or yellow.
Walking around Kifune and Kurama area was so nice. Huge crowds were there though.

ここのところ紅葉がすごくて京都が本当にキレイ。
貴船と鞍馬もめっちゃうつくしかった。混んでたけど

By the way, I watched The Wind Rises by Ghibli Studio. It describes how poor Japan was and how hard to live there before the second war.There is no hope in this story. Jiro and Naoko goes into unhappy. But their story is really beautiful and I couldn't stop crying:(

最近やっと風立ちぬ観たけど救いなさ過ぎてびびった。１回目観たときはよくわからんかったけど２回目３回目どんどん良くなってくる系やった。

October memories

Still I cannot believe it's already November. Leaves are turning to red or yellow Kyoto city is filled with so many tourists!! They come here to see leaves and feel autumn. So pleasure many people enjoy Kyoto but we have many trouble with traffic. Buses don't arrive on the time. Big groups block a street.......etc haha
And all stores, cafes, and restaurants are crowded on weekends. I'm a little sad I can't stay long in my favorite cafes:(

Anyway I'm so lucky to live in Kyoto, except the traffic.  This city has so many places to see.


もう１１月か…いつの間にか紅葉がはじまり、観光客がわんさか来てる…修学旅行生も…
バス来ないわ、来ても乗れないわ、道という道は人でごった返してるわでもうどうやって移動したらよいか分かりません。急に道で立ち止まって自撮りしはじめるスイーツとか。なぜかファミマで文房具を買いあさるアメリカ人グループ。男子女子グループどうしでよくわからない距離感を保ちつつもお互いに干渉し合いながら歩行する修学旅行生などなどストレスマッハ。まあええんやけどな…京都から観光とったらただのド三流地方都市やし。

文句も多いけどやっぱり住んでると楽しい街やな。ここにしかないものいっぱいあるし。

竹田城と姫路城 / Takeda catsle and Himeji castle

We went to Asago city to see 雲海 which means sea of clouds literally. Takeda castle in Asago city is one of places where we can see sea clouds in Japan.
I woke up a.m. 3 because sea of clouds can be seen in the early morning. However, there was no clouds!!!! I knew it depends on weather....but....but....!!!! OK. It was just unlucky:<

雲海を見るために朝来市の竹田城跡に行ってきたけど…見れんかた…！！！！快晴！！！！
３時に起きたのになー　がんばって登ったのになー　天気によるからしゃーないねんけど…はあ

After that disappointment, we still had much time of course. Then heading to Himeji city to see Himeji castle which is said the most beautiful castle in Japan. HOWEVER it was under construction:< I tried hard to take a beautiful picture. I couldn't enter the main part of the castle.
After this second disappointment, we went back home........hahaha

もちろん時間はありあまるのでそのまま南下して姫路城へ。あっこまだ工事やってんねんな…ずっと工事してない?鹿島さん…？本丸に入れず帰ってきたんやけど…？




 

曽爾高原のススキ

I went to Soni-Kogen to enjoy seeing shining grasses last Sunday. It was perfect sunny and the view was great!
I had prepared for cold weather at the mountain, Uniqlo heattech, knit wear and coat. But it was too much. I didn't need them at all. Sunlight was very strong and got me scared of getting burn my skin. And I got a mess after climbing up, because makeup gone with my sweat.

After walking around the grass field, I had lunch at a nice restaurant which was surrounded by pretty cosmoses.
It was a perfect autumn Sunday!!!!


曽爾高原に行ってきました。奈良なのか三重なのかいまいちよくわからんけど、めっちゃ晴れてて最高やった。ススキが有名らしく１０月と１１月がハイシーズンみたいですごい混んでた。
高原やから寒いと思ってめっちゃ厚着していったけど、まったく不要やった。丘を登り終わったあとは汗だくで悲惨なことになったし。

うろうろ歩き回って近隣に道の駅兼レストランみたいなのがあったのでゴハン食べて帰ってきた。コスモスもいっぱい生えててきれいやったし、秋最高。
