When seeing this, Yunluo was so moved that she wanted to cry. It turned out that a person could live so simply, refreshingly and without any pressure.
The night in Nara is very quiet. Yunluo and An Chuyu are walking around. At around 10:00 in the evening, there are almost no shops open except for the convenience stores that are open 24 hours a day. There are many apartments near Shin-Omiya Station, with romantic and exquisite decorations, small and neat doors and windows, which perfectly show the character of the Japanese. You must have dreams, but you must live realistically.
This is also the life attitude that Yunluo has always upheld. The front desk of the hotel is more like a card storage place in kindergarten. The waiter's voice is very soft, and the Japanese language itself is cute, which is really super cute. Toyoko Hotel has many branches throughout Japan, and each chain store has its own number, which makes people want to stay in all of them according to the map.
Even the gas stations are decorated so cutely, which can only be seen in Japan. Yunluo likes Yoshinoya, which is cheap and big, and found that the price has also increased this time. It turns out that the price of - yen has risen sharply to yen. The taste of beef rice in Japan is indeed much better than that in China. Put books on investment, fortune-telling, feng shui and social security together.
It was indeed a wise choice. In a sense, they are all the same, a kind of conjecture that may never come true... I risked being banned by buying Japanese specialty books in a convenience store. Although the bookshelf was marked "adult", it was easily seen by minors because it was placed in the open. This would definitely be strangled in the cradle in China.
It cannot be seen in the light of day. In fact, it is really important to cultivate children's ability to distinguish right from wrong. After all, it is just an instinctive need of human beings, so don't think too much about it. Drinks in Japanese convenience stores are lined up, mainly black tea, juice and milk, which are healthy and delicious, but I still prefer Baodao because there is Yunluo's favorite hand-shaken flavored tea.
It is rare to find an izakaya that is open until late. It is quite unique among a series of modern small apartments and has a Japanese flavor. Whenever I see -. Yunluo feels particularly at ease. It is open 24 hours a day. You can buy all kinds of things you need in life here. There are often special activities and snacks. It constantly brings you freshness. You can exchange some cute things when you accumulate enough points.
Make yourself and your family happy, everything hits Yunluo's point, love it. Such a great -, it comes from Japan, which has an excellent service industry. During the free travel process. In addition to the cumbersome transportation, you can really feel Japan's attentive and thoughtful service and their rigorous and serious attitude everywhere, and the amazing and touching single room.
The train carriage was so quiet that you could hear the sound of needlework dropping, and there were warm, lovely and optimistic people in Kansai. Life always tells you what is beautiful and whether the world is cruel at a certain critical moment. Yunluo and An Chuyu raised her to be a joke or a fairy tale. I was awakened by the sound of birds in the morning, although there was no bright and dazzling sunshine in the early morning.
But there is a fresh breath that only belongs to spring. After a traditional Japanese breakfast, Yunluo and An Chuyu went out for a stroll. To see the late cherry blossoms that they missed last night because it was already dark. Nara, the birthplace of the Yamato people, is actually just a quiet town. The Shin-Omiya where Yunluo and An Chuyu are located is surrounded by exquisite small apartments, warm residential areas, and spring mornings.
Everything seemed particularly peaceful and tranquil. The traditional Japanese breakfast didn't look rich, but it was really delicious! Very delicious! Very delicious! Important comments need to be said three times. I will never forget the series of exquisite and thoughtful services I enjoyed in Japan. It is really praiseworthy. The cherry blossoms are beautiful, but the blooming time is very short. These fleeting beauties.
Let the Japanese know how to cherish more. Know that when you gain something, you will definitely lose something. Yunluo and An Chuyu missed the most prosperous flowering season. In the falling season, they saw more colorful scenes on the ground and walked along the river. Stepping on the pink falling cherry blossoms, imagine the scene of the flowers blooming on the trees before. The small flowers in front of the hotel.
Japanese houses are not only carefully decorated inside, but also decorated outside in style. The serious attitude of the Japanese towards life is indeed worth learning for Yunluo and An Chuyu. The cherry blossoms in Japan taken at close range are indeed different from those in my hometown. The riverbank should be full of cherry blossoms. Because it was too late when Yunluo and An Chuyu went there.
The cherry blossoms on the left have almost all fallen, leaving only a few on the right. Clusters of beautiful cherry blossoms continue to convey the message of spring to Yunluo and An Chuyu. Most people are obsessed with the appearance of flowers blooming on branches, but Yunluo always thinks that falling flowers are also charming. The pink petals cover the asphalt road, making the entire riverside path more dreamy.
The trip to Nara was slightly shortened due to the flight delay. We didn't have to go to Todaiji Temple, but we couldn't miss our favorite Nara Park and Kasuga Taisha Shrine. We spent the whole morning visiting the origin of the Yamato people - this city full of history and culture. A scene that we often see in Japanese dramas, when we say goodbye.
They got on the train and said goodbye to each other. The scene in front of them was moving away and disappearing in a slight shake... There are many small shops selling local specialties at Nara Station. Yunluo and An Chuyu had delicious Nara pickles for breakfast, which is a pickled condiment similar to fermented bean curd and pickled cucumbers. Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived early.
Many shops were not open yet, and the tourists had not arrived yet, so I was lucky enough to see this scene. The fountain in front of the station was made in the shape of a bamboo hat, which was in perfect contrast with the Japanese monk who was begging for alms next to it. The shopping street was a bit deserted in the morning. In fact, it was already 10:00 in the morning, but there were still many shops that were not open. The pace of life in Nara is not as fast as in big cities like Tokyo.
Slowly, it's good. These two attractions are in the same area. Yunluo and An Chuyu wandered aimlessly in this area, always hoping to find something new. Sure enough, they found a Christian church dressed like a shrine in the shopping street in front of the park, as well as the Yanshui Catholic Church and Gude Temple they had visited before.
The name of this kindergarten is very cute and direct. I like it very much. Japanese children are very cute. Because it is in the church, it should be a kindergarten managed by the church. Yunluo and Anchuyu climbed up the stairs to find out what was going on. Cherry blossoms fell from time to time, and the atmosphere was so romantic that it was hard to describe. This is a truly beautiful church, but if you don't take a closer look.
You can't recognize the cross on the eaves, and you can't even tell the layout of this traditional Japanese courtyard, and which room the main chapel is in. The backyard is a place for children to play outdoors. A group of cute children are playing on the grass covered with cherry blossoms. I have to admit that such a Japanese courtyard pavilion and pink cherry blossoms are indeed a good match.
McDonald's in every place has its own characteristics. McDonald's in Japan also has its main products adapted to the local situation. The price of set meals is similar to that in China, which highlights the sad situation of low wages and high prices in China. There are always many old brands in the ancient city. Various local products related to Nara are sold here, with a wide variety of products and reasonable prices. Don't miss it if you pass by.
The owner of this shop loves to take photos with celebrities, and the shop is full of various group photos. My friend who traveled with me loves Nara and is also very knowledgeable about the local specialties. He is determined to try all the snacks worth eating, and Nakatanido is one of them. In Japan, many people eat while walking, in order to integrate into the local community as soon as possible.
Yunluo and An Chuyu bought Nara's most famous mugwort mochi at Nakatani Hall for one yen. No tickets are required for Nara Park, and you can wander around freely. Many Japanese people like this place very much, and they bring their families and pets to take a walk and relax. What's interesting is that some social groups occasionally appear on the streets of the park. Holding banners.
They walked slowly, singing as if no one was around. Although I didn't know what they wanted, I could tell from the tunes they sang that they were a religious group. I remembered someone mentioned that "cults" were prevalent in Japan, but I didn't know what branches they were. Could this be the legendary Japanese Tenrikyo? It is said that Tenrikyo advocates the worship of Kagura songs and sacred dances.
There are many such teams near Nara Park. All men, women, young and old sing along the way. Yunluo and An Chuyu are a little scared. Posters and advertisements can be seen everywhere in Japan. The Japanese who have always had dreams in their hearts will not miss any opportunity to realize their dreams. Ten thousand yen is acceptable. But compared to the ten thousand yen tour around the world I saw many years ago.
I feel that inflation and currency depreciation are indeed a bit scary. -, a net increase of 10,000 yen... As a major country in the invention and production of cameras, Japan has helped many people better retain time. These old cameras that belong to the years are quietly waiting for people who understand them. Even the warning signs look so cute, it really deserves to be called Japan where everything is cute.
On the way to Nara Park, there are many simple Japanese-style cottages along the way, which are well preserved. Now most of them are converted into teahouses for tourists to experience the authentic Japanese style. Kimono is very meaningful to the Japanese. No matter how the times develop and how technology advances, they will remember to preserve those traditional classics that once flourished.
Because they are the soul of the nation and the indelible memory of the homeland. You should know that they almost completely copied the costumes of Yunluo and An Chuyu in the Tang Dynasty, but now Yunluo and An Chuyu have completely thrown them into the torrent of history, and they, after some improvements, are still wearing them today. In the warm spring sunshine, walking on the road with these exquisite cottages on both sides.
It really felt like traveling through time and space. This is a Japanese restaurant that looks expensive and high-end. When Yunluo and Anchuyu passed by, they saw someone filming a show. Traditional things are always particularly eye-catching in such a special place. Maybe I was particularly looking forward to feeding the deer before, and I thought it should be a heartwarming and positive experience.
As a result, the moment I got the deer crackers, I saw them rushing towards me hungrily. Their ferocity was completely different from the "deer" I learned about in books. I wanted to throw all the deer crackers in my hand to them and then run away. I realized again that fairy tales are all lies. The cherry blossoms here seem to have more layers of petals than those in Shin-Omiya.
The colors are brighter, but there are only a few left, and the few that are left are in full bloom. Nara Park is a very traditional Japanese park, and getting up close to the various pavilions is like walking into the pictures and promotional videos about Japan that I have seen before. The deer in Nara have a good relationship with each other, and often rub their ears and temples in front of people, without any shyness.
The falling petals are so beautiful that they are spread on the water and the grass. It feels like the whole world is pink, as fresh and sweet as first love. Is this the scene you are talking about? This is the evil Deer Cracker. As long as you hold this, the trained super deer will swarm in. They will not recognize any relatives to grab food. You really have to be careful.
After distributing deer senbei, the tourists were still surrounded. They looked at the deer helplessly. Sometimes, I felt that even humans with high IQ are still very vulnerable when attacked by other species. Do you think the deer only eat deer senbei? They would have starved to death long ago. Deer living in the woods would never eat senbei.
They are all trained, but in fact they prefer the tender green grass in early spring and the pink flowers that fall all over the ground... Courtyards with gardens are very common here, and many of them are private property. "Private property" is highly respected in Japan. No matter where you are, the owner will not give up an inch of land to others' encroachment. And the government seems to be helpless.
As long as people don't take deer crackers, people and deer can still live in harmony in the park. Deer are actually very happy, and they may really be the incarnation of the sacred deer, showing an extremely proud expression and posture to the people around them at all times. The spring in Kansai seems to be a little chilly. At this time, it is a very happy thing to have a hot roasted sweet potato.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Regardless of whether they can understand what you say, Japanese people will try their best to help people who come to ask for directions. Even if they can't help, they will say sorry to the other party. Like most shrines and temples, there are always people who use various methods to add incense money to show their piety and pray for God's blessing. In Japan, most people use the form of "offering lanterns" and carve their own names on the lamp holders.
Even its identity and occupation are clear. A snapshot of a feeding scene. From this angle, the sacred deer's eating posture is still very elegant, but what is the reality like? You have to experience it yourself... Yunluo and An Chuyu were lucky enough to encounter the Japanese sacred bird in the park after "playing" with the sacred deer. Its shiny feathers made people stand in awe.
Maybe he will be a handsome man when he turns into a human! This inexplicably hits the spot of the dreamy old girl. [About Kasuga Kasugano Teahouse's Manyo Porridge] A Japanese-style teahouse famous for its Manyo Porridge made with seasonal ingredients from the twelve months. It uses kelp broth and white miso as the base, and is paired with the fruits and vegetables of the month mentioned in Japan's "Manyoshu" to cook a porridge full of seasonal flavors.
In January, there are seven herbs; in February, there are soybeans. In March, there are rape flowers; in April, there are cherry blossoms and black rice; in May, there are bamboo shoots; in June, there are red rice and red beans. In July and August, there are cold porridge with thin tea; in September, there are small taro; in October, there are chestnuts and sweet potatoes; in November, there are mushrooms; in December, there are yams. In addition, there are omelettes, pickles, hot tea, persimmon leaf sushi, and kudzu cakes. Even a small side dish is made with a complicated process.
This is a thoughtful choice, and they are all delicious. Yunluo and Anchuyu traveled in April and ate their spring limited edition Manye porridge, which was very suitable for the occasion. The price is a bit high, but it is worth it when you think about how carefully they prepare the food. The Manye Botanical Garden in Kasuga Taisha was not visited because the landscape is not big and tickets are required.
Most of the visitors to the park are elderly people and children who can enter for free. In the courtyard, I saw a family wearing formal kimonos. They asked Yunluo to take their photo in standard Chinese. It turned out that they were from the other side of the island. Nara and Kyoto both have kimono rental services. Next time I come to Yunluo, I want to make an appointment to try. Because there were many guests, Yunluo and An Chuyu took their numbers and sat quietly waiting.
Looking at the all-Chinese menu and listening to the waiter calling out numbers in Japanese, I was lucky to have not forgotten the Japanese numbers I learned before. I immediately felt that it was great to learn another language. Traditional Japanese wooden lamps can be seen everywhere in Kasuga Tea House. Please note that these are real flowers. The exquisite and fresh decoration in the room makes the guests feel relaxed and comfortable.
The portion of the spring-limited Manyo porridge was not large, and it was definitely not enough to fill you up, but you really enjoyed a good meal. In the birthplace of the Yamato people, breakfast and lunch were very traditional, which made Yunluo and An Chuyu deeply appreciate the delicacy and seriousness of the Japanese, and seemed to hear their inner voices, "Although Yunluo and An Chuyu's supplies were not particularly abundant,
But Yunluo and An Chuyu can use the most limited ingredients, extract the essence, and make the most delicious food. "Because this time we took almost all the traditional routes, the attractions were mainly shrines and temples. Compared with the previous trip to Japan, we can feel their piety and love for their own religion more deeply. China also has its own Taoism, but because the culture is too rich and colorful.
It is more concrete, and the figures worshipped in each place are different, and the legends are also different. Although each shrine in Japan is very unique, it is more unified in form than in China. Moreover, compared with the "no desire and no request" promoted by Buddhism, this kind of communication with the gods, where you can ask for something and get something in return, is more easily accepted by the public. Come to Japan in spring.
It’s the cherry blossom season again, so of course there should be cherry blossoms everywhere. The Manyo porridge just now has cherry blossoms in it, and the seasonal cherry blossom flavored ice cream is also not to be missed. It looks like it blends perfectly with the environment! It may be a couple who are about to hold a wedding or take wedding photos. They are dressed up beautifully and solemnly, riding in a carriage into the distance.
In Kyoto and Nara, it is easy to feel confused about time and space, and it is possible to travel back to ancient times in an instant, and there will be no sense of disobedience. Whether it is a large shrine or a small shrine, you can always see these painted horses floating in the wind. Since there are too many legends about various shrines, Yunluo and Anchu met them by accident along the way, no matter which god the shrine enshrines.
You can see the most sincere blessings from people who left their wishes. {There is a legend about this shrine in Yamato Monogatari that in the Nara period, a sai-nu (a female official who served the emperor) committed suicide by drowning in Sarusawa Pond because she lost the emperor's favor. In order to comfort her soul, people built this sai-nu shrine, but unexpectedly the shrine was spiritual. (~^~)
