[Japan] 京都,上京區,北野天滿宮 (Kitano Tenmangū)

第三天早上,由於北野天滿宮離我住的二條城附近並不遠,我用走的前往。
On the 3rd day morning, since the Kitano Tenmangū is not far from Nijō Castle where I stayed. I walked to the Kitano Tenmangū.



途中,發現了一個小景點,宮本武藏與吉岡一派(或是一家)決鬥的場所,完全只是因為自己還聽過宮本武藏的名聲,所以拍個照留念。
On my way to the Kitano Tenmangū, there is a very small spot, the place that Miyamoto Musashi fought with Yoshioka's family. 



進入北野天滿宮後,發覺建築風格還前兩天參觀又不太一樣,也許單純是以金黑色為主色,感覺更貴氣了! 
When arrive the Kitano Tenmangū, I feel that the architecture here is different than those I visited in past two days. It looks more luxury.

進入御土居賞楓,門票日幣600元,不過這六百塊還包含了一份茶點,感覺窩心多了,除了可以近賞美麗的楓葉,還能在楓葉環繞的環境下品嚐一份茶點,感覺真的很不一樣。另有立牌寫著紅楓盛開,令人期待等會兒的美景!
To visit the garden, it cost ¥ 600 to buy the ticket which includes the dessert. This makes me feel so good to buy the ticket. Not only buy the authority to get in, but also can have something to eat under the maples. That should a very good experience.
The sign says "見ごろ" means full bloom.


御土居的地圖,占地相當地廣,我大約逛了一個小時。
The map of the garden, It's so big and so beautiful. I spent around 1 hour here.

透過其他遊客的鏡頭欣賞美景,一直是個挺有趣的視角,正好抓拍到這個瞬間。 
Because the digi camera of a smart phone is so good, there are so many people using smart photo to take photos to save the memory.


   
 紅彤彤的楓葉。
 Take photos for the red maples. 

  

這兒的銀杏,黃得好美!  
The yellow should come from ginkgo.


  


覺得這位日本爸爸好拘謹,挺嚴肅得讓女兒拍照,實在有點... 
The Japanese papa is so serious, stand straight for the daughter to take picture for him.


上面這八張照片都在同一個地點拍攝的,這兒的楓葉非常地多彩多姿,綠色,黃色,紅色,還有不同的漸層,非常美,許多人都在這兒停留,拍照,超級棒!  
The above eight photos are taken at the same place. I think it's one of the top 2 beautiful places in the garden. It's so colorful. People can't stop taking photos, like me.



正在轉紅,各種深淺不一的紅,呈現出另一種美。  
The maple is turning red, it shows another style of beauty.

這個角落有超多的攝影師,讓人會心一笑。 
There are so many photographers taking picture here, includes me.


美麗的全家福。

這是御土居中第二個美麗的角落,橘色的拱橋在紅楓之中,美呆了~大家在這兒輪流拍照,喜愛自拍的人,更是一個人拍,兩個人一起拍,再加上家族一起來,耗費了許多時間。 
Here is the 2nd place because of the orange bridge. People are waiting here to take turns to have photos alone or with a couple or with family.

離開前,在山溝的另一側還有這一片黃楓的美景,真的是太值得了,光是御土居,就欣賞了楓葉的多種姿態,超讚!
Just before leaving the garden, there are beautiful yellow maples.




離開御土居就來到了茶室,算是這一趟賞楓之旅,第一次坐在楓葉下享受美食,真好~
The dessert. I feel so peaceful to eat the dessert under maples. So good.



北野天滿宮似乎在整修,只在本殿拍了這兩張照片,御土居太美了~
The main shrine. Because some buildings are under construction, I didn't take so many pictures for the buildings. Only these two.


美麗的停車場。
The beautiful car park.

其他一些美麗的角落。

正好被楓葉組成的愛心包圍的夫妻。祝福他們。

[Japan] 京都,東山區,祇をん う桶や「う」 (Gionuokeyau)

三點半吃完葫蘆親子丼後,由於天雨,基本上就沒行程了,由於昨天在祢ざめ家吃到了好吃的鰻魚飯,決定去祇園逛逛,嘗試看能不能吃到祇をん う桶や「う」這間,曾經拿到米其林一星的鰻魚飯;我剛好準時在下午五點,它剛開門時抵達。
Since I have the Oyakodon at Hisago really early, before 3:30 PM, and I had very delicious Unadon at Nezameya yesterday, I decide to try if I can have the chance to eat Unadon at Gionuokeyau. I take a walk at Gion and arrive Gionuokeyau at 5 o'clock when it's opened. 




侍者跟我說,由於今晚的位子已經全部都被預約了,如果我能在六點前結帳離開,我才能進入用餐,雖然兩小時前我也用過晚餐,已經又逛了一個多小時,相信應該是可以的!
The waitress tells me that all the tables are reserved, but if I can finish the dish before 6 o'clock, she can let me in. Since I'm alone, of course I can finish it in 1 hour even I just had my first dinner 2 hours ago.
既然吃不完三人份的,而且真的不知道何時會再來,乾脆就點個豪華點的,松級的鰻魚丼,日幣4250元,應該是這次日本行中,最貴的一餐了。
Since I may not be able to finish the unadon for three people, I order the pine class unadon for one person which costs ¥ 4,250.



茶以及醬菜,醬菜還挺多樣的。
The tea and the side dishes. It serves many different kinds of the pickles.



主角終於上桌,兩大片的鰻魚,吃得好過癮,烤得好香,好軟,淋上的醬汁不多,不會讓整碗飯或是鰻魚呈現死鹹的味道,非常棒,恰到好處地完成提味的角色,讓米飯和鰻魚都好好吃,雖然飽,還是很快就吃光光了!
The unadon. The grilled eel is very delicious and the sauce is just perfect. It provides more flavor to the eel and also for the rice. The taste is similar to the general unadon you can find every where but more delicious.


飯後來碗清湯,中和一下,真是享受~
The soup. Since the soy sauce provides strong taste for the eel and rice, it's really good to have broth to clear the flavor as an ending.
比較一下這兩天的鰻魚飯,我還是相對喜歡昨天的祢ざめ家,因為那是原味的鰻魚。
To compare the two restaurants where I tasted the unadon, I personally prefer Nezameya because I can taste the original flavor of eel more.
