Mame Diary

Koryu-ji is the oldest temple in Kyoto.
Its garden is said to be especially beautiful when the moss is at its best in season.

This ramen recreates the dish said to have been eaten by Mito Komon.
It has become a signature menu item at Toei Uzumasa Eigamura.

I went around the filming locations on a guided tour led by a Toei actress at Toei Uzumasa Eigamura.

It was said to be the scariest haunted house in Japan, where Toei actors lie in wait for visitors at Toei Uzumasa Eigamura.
I stopped at just looking at the exterior.

It is said that several scenes were filmed around the Hashiriibashi Bridge area of Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine in Otsu City.

I was tired from walking, so I took a break and had some amazake.
In Kyoto, amazake is made only with rice malt, giving it a natural sweetness.

The view of Lake Biwa is beautiful.

It feels like it will bring good fortune. Warm soba is perfect on a cold day with light snow falling.

There are no flowers blooming and the autumn leaves are gone, but the quiet scenery of the Katsura River and the mountains is beautiful.

I enjoyed them while looking at the wonderful scenery of Arashiyama, even during the off-season.
