[Japan] 京都,地鐵烏丸線烏丸御池站,やよい軒(Yayoi,烏丸御池店)

這天白天的行程是二条城金閣寺銀閣寺永觀堂夜楓之後,賞楓賞景賞得很爽,同時也是有點疲憊的,就沒有再特地尋找一間餐廳去吃飯了,而是直接回到住宿的烏丸御池,放個東西,整理一番之後,再出門覓食,沒想到就在馬路對面找到やよい軒,一間看起來不錯,都是賣日式食物的連鎖店,進了門,看到不少單人座位,感覺應該是近年才興起的一間餐廳吧!
After visiting Nijō Castle, Rokuonji, Ginkaku-ji and Eikan-dō Zenrin-ji (at night), it's already late when we back to the hotel. So we try to find to eat nearby. Finally we found the Yayoi (a Japanese Teishoku restaurant) which is a 24 hours restaurant. I guess this might be a new chain restaurant in Japan because I see some one-person table in it. The one-person table should be popular in recent years. 

PS. 銀閣寺與永觀堂夜楓的再訪,因為沒什麼特別,故直接提供兩年前初訪的連結。
PS. The links for Ginkaku-ji and Eikan-dō Zenrin-ji are the blogs I went there in 2016 which already have the details.

 

店員不多,直接使用(在日本)常見的自助點餐機點餐,我們點了一份牛肉壽喜燒與一個炸豬排定食,食物有日本的平均水準,挺好吃的,很棒的是日本米的白米飯無限量供應,喜愛的人可以吃得很爽~另外我還注意到一點,這間店是24小時的店,這樣之後的行程都不用擔心晚餐了,如果回來得太晚,來這兒就對了!
We ordered the meal via the auto-machine. We had the Beef Sukiyaki and the Tonkatsu for our dinner. It's really good to have the warm foods after the whole day trip. The food is good with the good Japanese rice (all you can eat for the rice) and the meat is cook delicious.

[Japan] 京都,北區,2018年再訪金閣寺 (鹿苑寺,Rokuonji)

參觀完二条城,時間上已近中午,正好金閣寺很適合在中午時分前往,就定為我們的下一站。
After visiting the Nijō Castle, it's about noon. So we went to the Rokuonji which is good for visiting about noon.



今年金閣寺的楓葉很棒,再加上明亮的冬陽,真是晶瑩剔透~
The maples are beautiful with the bright sunshine.


地圖,其實金閣寺的參觀重點就只有左下角那一小塊地方而已~

每人門票400元。
The ticket is still the same, ¥ 400 for each person.








在湖的這一側,大家想辦法尋找最前排的位子,就為了拍出最美的角度的金閣寺,我則多了要等待時機,等陽光出來的時候,拍出金光閃閃的金閣寺。
People try to find the best view of the Rokuonji.

陸舟之松。
A pine tree with boat shape is located at the north of the Hojo House. 





庭院裡,紅彤彤的楓葉也是個讓人流連忘返的地方。

[Japan] 京都,中京區,元離宮二條城 (Nijō Castle)


元離宮二條城,在日本的歷史上具有非常重要的地位,在西元1867年時,德川幕府就是在此進行「大政奉還」,明治天皇由此開始真正地統治全日本;印象中,以前歷史課本上只有提到這件事,但此事發生在何處,並不重要,直到我今天走進二條城,才跟我以前學到的知識有了連結,原來這樣的大事件,就發生在這個,我曾經慢跑了兩圈的二條城呀!
The Nijō Castle, where the Yoshinobu TOKUGAWA transferred power back to the Emperor (Taisei hokan) at 1867 A.D.. Last time I came to Kyoto, I stayed nearby. I even ran around the Nijō Castle but I didn't have a chance to visit it. This time, I arrange for about 1 hour here.


似乎這些重要的城的大門(唐門)都很「金碧輝煌」。
The gate looks gorgeous.


這兩張照片分別是二之丸御殿與二之丸庭園,御殿裡便是「大政奉還」的地點,在相同的房間裡,還有蠟像復現了當年的情景,頗有一種肅穆感,尤其在不允許拍照的情況下,不會有相機的快門來干擾。
This is the Ninomaru-goten Palace and the Ninomaru Garden. The Ninomaru-goten Palace is where you can find wax figures to represent the Taisei hokan. Because it's not allowed to take photos inside, there is no photo of it.

在進入本丸御殿的本丸櫓門前,有二條城的地圖。

真的這樣曲曲折折地走過一遍之後,再加上復現了大政奉還的氛圍,還真的讓人有所體會,城堡就是應該要以防守為目的進行建造,登上城牆,對外就能一覽無疑,對敵人一網打盡。
When you get through it, you can really feel that it's designed for protecting the host from enemies.




在庭院裡,也還是種了一些楓樹與銀杏。
Here, you can still find some maples and ginkgos.
