    Loved this sake museum tour and tasting. We love history and sake, so this visit made a lot of sense. You can read about how sake is made and the history of Gekkeikan Okura Sake, but you did not get...

    第２次世界大戦後に、旧ソ連軍による抑留生活を経験した記録が残っています。どれほどの苦労だったのかがわかり一度は訪れる価値がある場所です。

    お茶の町、宇治にある茶舗の記念館。歴史のある門構えにひかれて入ってみたが、展示自体はごく一般的なものだった。宇治には平等院や源氏物語ミュージアムもあるので、時間がなければパスしてもいいと思う。

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Higashiyama-ku Kiyomizu 1-287
    This is the birthplace of ceramist Kondo Yuzo, who had a lasting impact on the world of Japanese ceramics and was designated as a Living National Treasure for his work in blue and white porcelain. This memorial museum exhibits works from his early days to his later years. Visitors are able to gain a great appreciation for both his character and his art. His masterpiece is a large blue and white porcelain platter depicting plum branches. At 126 centimeters in diameter and approximately 100 kilograms in weight, it is one of the world's largest porcelain platters. His works, which depict natural scenes with bold brush strokes, are well worth seeing.

    目にとまり入ってみると、近藤悠三氏・その息子とお孫さんの作品が展示されていました。 入場料千円でお茶（何種類かから選べます）と豆菓子付き。 元は自宅兼工房だったそうで、学芸員？の女性がいろいろ教えて下さいました。 ３世代それぞれで作風が全く違うのも面白く、お孫さんの作品はアート志向で「どこぞで見たような気が・・・」と考えていたら雑誌にも掲載されていたとか。 備前焼の市川透氏といい、金彩や派手な色使...

    大江山の鬼伝説で有名な地域ですが雲海が見られることでも知られています。いたって普通のレストランですが、雲海をイメージして作れられた雲海うどんというものが目をひきました。ふわふわのオムレツを雲に見立て、それで鍋焼きうどんにフタをするというもの。いただきたかったのですがこの日はとても気温が高く熱々のものを食べる気持ちにはならず…次回は挑戦したいです。

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
