[Japan] 京都,左京區,琉璃光院 (Ruriko-in)









離開寶泉院,搭著公車來參觀琉璃光院,雖然我忘了是哪個公車站,若搭地鐵是「八瀨比叡山口站」,走到琉璃光院並不遠,但卻比我預計得更花時間,在地鐵站旁,有條「八瀨紅葉小徑」,種了一整片的楓樹,且剛好盛開,超級美的,完全能體會徐志摩所說「數大便是美」的意境,靠著強大的意志力,迅速穿過這片楓林,前往琉璃光院。
Leaving Hosen-in, I take the bus to come to Ruriko-in. Not so far, but I spent a lot of time on the way there. Next to the Yase-Hieizanguchi Station, it's the Yase Momiji No Komichi. It's amazing. I have no idea that I will such gorgeous red maples. I still remember that my purpose it to visit Ruriko-in, so I didn't spend too much time here.



走到半途,發現前面有人排隊,居然在販售琉璃光院的門票,要價日幣2000元,真是貴呀!而且,還有時段之分,原來,琉璃光院這麼地熱門呀!
It still surprise me, I have to buy the ticket for visiting Ruriko-in during a specific time period which is one hour later... And the ticket costs ¥ 2,000, it's really expensive and will set a really high expectation.


由於還要一個多小時,決定先來參歡Louis Icart美術館,放了許多這位藝術家的畫作,但若不是很有興趣,倒是很快就逛完了,不要緊,重點是這兒有座位,可以在此稍作休息,打發下時間。
To kill the time, I go to the Louis Icart Art Museum. It's not big, you might easily finish the visit. It doesn't matter, the key point is that there are chairs in the museum, you can sit there to wait the time goes by.


沒坐多久,決定先去琉璃光院門口拍拍照,沒想到,到了門口一看才知道,還要再排隊才能入場,真是昏倒...於是又排了大約一個小時,幸好我沒有在美術館待太久,還是在時段內入場參觀。
After a while, I decide to go to the Ruriko-in to take photos outside. Thanks god that I made that decision. There are more people waiting outside, I think I waited for about 1 hour to get in.






上面這幾張美麗的楓葉照,便是在門口排隊時,拿出相機拍的,楓葉的顏色好飽滿,搭上藍天,真漂亮!
Above photos are taken while I was in the line.





進入院內,雖然已經過了中午,但由於日本的緯度夠高,陽光仍然是斜射,讓這些紅楓,黃楓變得更迷人,難怪大家的腳步都放慢了下來,快門一直按。 
The maples with the sunshine are so charming. People stay on the track to take more and more pictures. It's really picturesque.


參觀到方丈庭園前,又要排隊了,還好是一次可以放行20人(還是40人?有點忘了~),而且入場後,也不會有工作人員來催促,大家可以慢慢地逛,慢慢地拍照。
To visit the main building, you need to wait again. Every time only 20 or 40 people can get in, but the monk doesn't push you to leave. You don't have to be hurry after getting in.




上面便是琉璃光院為之出名的景觀,由於建築的設計,剛好可以框成一張很美的明信片,大家也都聚集在此狂照,美極了。
The most famous photo of Ruriko-in, it's at the 2nd floor.







  
來到主建築的一樓,則把重心轉移到庭園的小角落與細節。
When go down to the 1st floor, you may find more details for the garden.



最後,在主建物裡找到了兩塊展示的琉璃石(瑠璃石),不知是不是因為盛產琉璃石,所以才被稱為琉璃光院!
It also shows some Lapis lazuli inside the building. Maybe it's why it is called Ruriko-in.

[Japan] 京都,左京區,寶泉院 (Hosen-in)





寶泉院就位在三千院旁,從三千院出來後右轉走到底,就會看到如上面照片中,如詩如畫的美麗「楓」景,基於此,我強烈建議賞楓時要來寶泉院走走,而不是看完三千院後就離開。
When leave Sanzen-in, turn right and go to the end. You'll find the glamorous track as above photo. It's the entrance of Hosen-in.





花了日幣800元購買門票,由於還包含了一份茶點,並不算貴;進入庭園,向左走是「寶樂園」,向右走則是「寶泉院」。
When enter the gate and pay ¥ 800 for the ticket and the dessert, you'll find a sign says turn left for the garden and go right for the Hosen-in.









  

先向左,這是一個很特別的庭園,很小,但在這麼小的庭園中,塞了很多景緻,在裡面東轉轉,西繞繞,是個很有趣的體驗,總覺得,只要一回頭,又會發現一片新天地!
The garden is really small, but has a lot of interesting corners. When you just turn around, you'll find new things.







回到入口,向右走,便是寶泉院主體建築,在這兒,可以領一份茶點,靜靜地欣賞庭院中的這棵老樹,樹齡700年的五葉松,且由於遊客不算多,是個很棒的,可以讓自己慢下來,感受這份平和的美麗庭園。
Leave the garden and back to the sign. Go right to the Hosen-in. You can have the dessert here and sit quietly to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere like below photos.







離開寶泉院,注意到旁邊有個小景點,告示牌上寫著是「法華堂」,不過地圖上似乎找不到,同時也沒有開放,只能在門口拍幾張照片,儘管如此,這兒的楓葉也是很棒!
Leaving the Hosen-in, there is a small spot next to it, It's closed but the red maples are so beautiful.
