[Japan] 京都,東山區,2018年再訪清水寺夜楓 (Kiyomizu-dera at night)

這天天氣很好,於是在晚上就安排了賞夜楓的行程─來到了清水寺。
With the sunny day, it's a good time to visit Kiyomizu-dera at night.

 


晴朗夜空下,與打光的紅色建築,真的是很搭,超級漂亮的,加上滿月,真的是一級棒!
The buildings looks much more beautiful with the clean sky.





進入本堂才發現,原來這燈籠上的花紋也十分漂亮,在這漆黑的夜色中,別有一種美;稍微有點可惜的是,清水寺本堂正在整修中,想要欣賞下方的花園,遠方京都市夜景並不是那麼方便。
Enter the Hondo, you can see the beautiful garden outside and also the fantastic lamps.

從下方往上望,本堂完全被工事包覆了起來。
It's a little bit pity that the Hondo is under re-construction.


今天倒是開放了側邊的走道,兩年前是這兒在整修,非常擠,今天這兒的角度倒是挺不錯,只是右側的本堂建築無法完整入鏡。
Even though, there are still a lot of people.


離開清水寺前的池塘,有漂亮的倒影可以拍攝,不過今年的楓葉紅得沒有兩年前漂亮就是了~
Before leaving, the reflection of the small pond is also really attractive.

兩年前的景色~

[Japan] 京都,伏見區,2018年再訪伏見稻荷大社 (Fushimi Inari-taisha)



祢ざめ家用完餐,跟著人潮走,很快就可以抵達伏見稻荷大社。
After having launch at the Nezameya, we visited the Fushimi Inari-taisha.


這兒的手水舍,有可能是最繁忙的,真的是超多人來此參觀的,規模已經比很多寺廟都大了,但還是很有可能要排隊。
I guess this is the busiest chōzuya (or temizuya) I've visited. There are so many people here.



保佑功課好的東丸神社,看照片,應該是家長來替兒女祈福。
These two photos are took at Higashimaru Shrine.



在這個鳥居之後,就準備要開始爬稻荷山,參觀千本鳥居了。
The sky is clean. It's a good day for having a hiking. Walk through the torii, you're walking on the Inariyama (holy mountain of Inariyama).














 (不知為何,路邊立了一個捐獻表,有著各式大小的鳥居與捐獻金額的對照表,這些立在山道兩旁的大鳥居,應該是10號吧,嗯,捐獻130萬日幣就可以「成就 GET」!)
(How much money you donate, how big the torii may be. The biggest one (No. 10) may need you to donate ¥ 1,302,000.)










要逛完千本鳥居,大約30分鐘即可,但若想走完整座稻荷山,建議至少預留兩小時的時間,占地廣大,雖然高度只有233公尺,但基本上一路都是階梯往上,還是要有一定的體力才能輕鬆走上,或者就要多休息幾次了。
There are two areas, the Senbon Torii and the Inariyama. You may walk through the Senbon Torii in 30 minutes. If you want to go through the whole Inariyama, please reserve at least two hours here. It's really big. 

還有一件事,因為時間長,記得帶水,若忘了也還好,路邊不時會出現自動販售機供購買,記得愈早買愈好,山下一瓶水只要日幣150元,到了山上就要250元了(如果我沒記錯的話)~
One more thing, don't forget to bring water. If you forgot, buy it as early as you can. The water is sold for ¥ 150 at the bottom of the hill. When you go up, the price also rises. The most expensive price is ¥ 250 (if I remember correctly).

PS. 這次整個逛下來,我找到了三對獅子,其他都是狐狸。
PS. There are total 3 pairs of lions I found in the whole route. 

上次來此的記錄。
Last time I came here for your information.

[Japan] 京都,伏見區,2018年再訪祢ざめ家 (Nezameya)



在下筆寫這篇部落格前,我又上了Google Maps查了一下評價,還是很多人不滿,平均只有2.7顆星,祢ざめ家真的是一間很特別的店,東西好吃,但服務就...不予置評,總之,請不要期待這兒會有日本店家一般的服務水準,這樣就不會太失望了,嘻~
The Nezameya is a really special/unique restaurant that I had visited. Many people love it and also a lot of people hate it. I checked the Google Maps again this year and the score is only 2.7 stars. Before you came, I should remind you that don't expect any good service from the waiter then you may feel more comfortable.

這次我們在十二點左右抵達祢ざめ家,大約有十幾個人在排隊,也發生了一點爭執,原來前方有一個八個人的團體,店家在將人請入店家後,來了兩個人說是那八人團體的成員想直接入座,雖然的確見到有從裡面出來一個人想作證,但仍然被店家拒絕,要求這兩位必須前往隊伍末端,重新開始排隊,耳中就聽到這兩位念念有詞,如果這八個人中有人上Google Maps評分,我猜分數大概也不好看;但這真的是店家的問題嗎?記得台灣也有店家有類似的需求,團體在到齊前是不可入座的,只是今天的例子可能是雙方語言不通,因此講不清楚,店家只好請遲到的兩位重新排隊。
我不知道給負評的人中有多少其實是這樣的溝通上的問題,不過,這兒的店員的姿態挺高的也是沒錯,沒有人情可講,若決定來此吃飯,就請嚴格尊守這兒的規矩吧!
If we talk about the service here, I have an example for you while I was in the line here. There is a group of 8 people before us. When the waiter invite them to get in, there are 6 people here actually. The other 2 people may be in other stores. Three minutes later, the 2 people came back and want to get into the restaurant directly, but the waiter stopped them and insisted they had to go the end of the line and wait again. I heard their complaint, does this a real bad service or just a misunderstanding between two people speak different languages?




除了部分像我這樣有目的性前來的旅客,應該還有一部分是被門口的烤鰻魚吸引來的客人吧!
The chef grills the eals just in front the restaurant. It smalls so good.




這次點了鰻魚蓋飯,期待多吃點鰻魚,另外還點了鯖魚壽司嚐嚐。
This time, I remember to order the eal rice and liver soup which can have more eals. My girl friend isn't hungry, so she ordered Sushi - 3 kinds.


跟兩年前相比,告示牌好像變多了~
It seems to be more rules on the wall...








會點鯖魚壽司,主要是想嚐嚐味道,畢竟是京都名產,只想說,還算不錯,可以試試。
I think the sushi is good, because the rice is good. The Saba Sushi is an unique sushi in Kyoto. For me, I'll say it's good to taste it.






鰻魚飯還是一樣地好吃,適中的醬汁加上日本人就是很會煮飯,超好吃的,鰻魚又烤得很香,且還保留了鰻魚本身的甜味,就可惜兩片還是覺得不夠~
The eal rice with the liver soup. It's so delicious for the eal and the rice. The problem is still the same, not enough eals.

另外附上兩年前的食記。
