葫蘆親子丼是間非常有名的餐廳，幾乎每位部落客都將其列為「必吃」，或是一定會分享「食後感」，尤其又位在有名的，必去的景點─清水寺旁，雖然，其實是離高台寺比較近～
Hisago is very famous for the Oyakodon. Most of the Taiwanese bloggers will recommend to have the Oyakodon here after visiting Kiyomizu-dera. Actually, it's next to the Kōdai-ji.
在室外，有提供板凳區讓來客可以坐著等，還算是不錯的休息，上圖的拍照時間大約是下午三點半，有十五到廿人左右在等待，還好是大家似乎吃得都挺快的，雖然人數不少，但等待的時間倒是不會很長，我大約等了三十分鐘左右即可入內享用親子丼了！
People are waiting on the bench next to the restaurant. The time is around 3:30 PM and there are 15 to 20 people there. A good thing is that people can finish the Oyakodon in a short period of time. Even there are 20 people, you may not need to wait for a long time. For me, I was waiting for 30 minutes.
幾乎不用看菜單，直接點親子丼就對了，日幣1010元；沒想到這兒還提供中文菜單，雖然看到那菜名，我都快昏倒了，這應該是直接用翻譯軟體翻的，而且還未經校稿就直接用了吧，真的是超神奇的翻譯！
No doubt, just order the Oyakodon, ¥ 1,010, An interesting thing is that it also provides Mandarin menu, but the name of the dishes are very strange. I don't know if it's translated by a translation software and without proofreading.
餐點附了一杯綠菜，一小碟醬菜，以及一碗親子丼。我已經差不多六年沒有吃過親子丼了，還真有點小緊張，會不會不如預期呢？幸好一端上來就看到滿碗的半熟蛋，好吃程度上有了基本保障，吃了一口，粒粒分明的米飯，配上軟嫰，香甜的雞蛋，真的是好吃極了，裡面還有不少塊甜嫰的雞肉，很快就把一碗吃光了，應該不到十五分鐘，難怪剛才在外面排隊時，前進得那麼快，好吃到一下子就吃完了。
六年前，我在東京築地市場吃到一碗非常好吃的親子丼，超棒的半熟蛋，和台灣的親子丼完全不在同一個等級，台灣的總是全熟蛋的親子丼，當時我就在心中對自己說，以後不要在台灣吃了，以今天的經驗來看，我不在台灣吃親子丼還真的是挺值得的。
Tea, side dishes and the Oyakodon. Almost 6 years ago, I had a chance to have Oyakodon in Tokyo, and it's so delicious, so different than the ones I had in Taiwan. I made a decision at that moment, I will never try Oyakodon in Taiwan anymore. This is the first time I eat Oyakodon after then. The egg is so soft and sweet and also for the chicken. To eat the rice with the liquid egg, it's so good~

看完清水寺的楓葉，一般都會再走路前往附近的高台寺，兩間寺廟離得非常近。
Kōdai-ji is near Kiyomizu-dera. After visiting Kiyomizu-dera, I just follow the signs to walk here.
途中，會經過有名的二年坂與三年坂，依據都市傳說所說，如果在這兒跌倒，可能會在二年內，或是三年內就掛了，所以，逛街的時候，要小心點～由於我只有一個人，並沒有花時間逛街，只花了十分鐘左右就抵達了高台寺。
On the way to Kōdai-ji, you may go through the ninenzaka and the sannenzaka. There are so many stores in this area. Since I came here by my own, I didn't spend time for shopping here. It took me around 10 minutes. Some people may spend more than two hours to visit those small stores.
在抵達高台寺前，發現了這張有趣的觀迎招牌，原來，日本人把繁體中文稱為「台灣語」呀，不知道是不是個美麗的誤會～
Just before arriving Kōdai-ji, there is a welcome sign here. And I learn something from the sign. Some Japanese may called the traditional Chinese for Taiwanese. I don't know if this is a good misunderstanding or bad one...

要進入方丈庭參觀，門票六百日幣，入場後發現有個特別的展品，初次公開展出的墨寶，而且還可以拍照，於是就拍下來留念。
You may pay ¥ 600 to get in the Houjyo (Main Building) and it's OK to take photos in the building which is unusual. Of course I cannot recognize the what above article is writing. I took a photo because it's the first time for it to show publicly.
庭園，不知是否為了維持四季常青，庭園裡的楓樹很少，參觀者也挺多的，倒是沒有感受到在光明院的那種寧靜的氛圍，拍了些照片就離開了。
The temple garden. There are much more people here compares to the Komyoin. It's not so calm here, so I just take some photos and leave.
要賞楓的話，主要是臥龍池周圍，這兒種了不少楓樹，且看來我來的時機也是對的，半數以上都紅了～
The major view for maples is surrounding this pond, the crouching dragon pond.
頗為有名氣的竹林。
A beautiful bamboo forest.
或許因為有臥龍池，這兒放了顆龍頭，呵～
I don't why they put a dragon head here. Maybe because there is a crouching dragon pond here.
離開前，發現在瓦當上有著高台寺的標示，好像是僅有的一家寺院有做這樣的強調。
Before leaving the garden, I found that the eaves tile is marked with Kōdai-ji which I didn't see in other temples.

在我的認知中，來到京都一定會去的三座寺廟是：金閣寺，銀閣寺和清水寺。
The Kiyomizu-dera, for me, is one of the top 3 temples, Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji and Kiyomizu-dera, in Kyoto.
離開了伏見稻荷大社，搭乘京阪本線到清水五條站下車，依照指示約走個20分鐘即可抵達清水寺。
Leaving Fushimi Inari-taisha, I took the Keihan Main Line from Fushimi Inari to Kiyomizu-Gojō Station and followed the signs to Kiyomizu-dera. It takes about 20 minutes by walk.

仁王門，好乾淨的紅色，好美，不知如果搭配上藍天是否更美！
The Nio Mon, it looks so red and clean. It's so beautiful. If there is blue sky, it should be more beautiful.
三重塔，與楓紅互相爭輝。
The Pagoda with maples.
本堂，也是清水寺擁有最高曝光率的建築，以及拍照角度，在楓紅的輝映下，有種很沈穩，寧靜的感覺，只可惜，拍攝上述照片的步道正在修整中，並不是那麼容易可以靜下來拍照，還有時會被工地設施破壞了畫面，不過，過兩天才從家人處得知，明年起，清水寺本堂要整修三年，我算是運氣好的！
The Hondo, the main hall. The track where I took above photos is still under construction. It's so crowded and not easy to take photos. It's still so beautiful.
從另一個角度拍攝的本堂。

音羽瀑布，只是看到有不少人在排隊，所以就拍了幾張照片，回台灣後上官網查資料才發現應該要來許個願，呵～
The Otowa no taki, the Otowa Waterfall. The visitors catch each of the three streams of pure water with ladles and pray for purification of their six senses and to make their wishes come true. You can easily tell there is a line for catching the water.
以下則是此行幾個清水寺的有趣角落：
Below are different corners in the Kiyomizu-dera:
發現了一條很少人走的小徑，正好前面三位和服美女，真有種走入時光隧道的感覺，只是小姐手上拿著手機拍照，又喚醒了2016年的時光，真的是「舊時光，新科技」呀～
A track with mush less visitors. People can take an easy walk. The lady weared kimono is taking photos with her phone. Maybe I should name it, Old days, New technology.
清水寺裡的茶屋，也位在一個很美的角落。
A nice place to have some desserts with the red maples.
在寺廟裡求取的籤詩，不小心總是會遇到凶兆，人們便把凶兆籤詩綁在這兒，象徵著壞兆頭不會來，沒想到我拍照時正好有人在綁籤詩，不如，就把這張照片命名為「凶，滾」！
When people ask for a sign for something that make them worry and get a bad sign. People will tight the sign at somewhere at the temple means the bad thing/sign go away. So, maybe I should name it Go away bad things.
