Day trip

~Day trip to Inuyama~

I went to see Kouyou (Changing colour leaves) in Inuyama with my Mom and Dad.
Firstly we went to 'Jyakkouin' which is temple.
Those photos are inside temple grounds.



At the temple most of the trees are looks like this, orange or yellow.
It was so gorgeous.







This is 'Kanzakura' (winter cherry blossom).
Normally cherry blossom is spring, but we also have winter one too.







My mom found this baby tree between stone stairway.
It's so cute. No one might find, but we foud you.
Good luck and take care...
I guess it already took few years to grow like this.





Afterwards we took a lunch break near the shrine.
That shrine call 'Momotarou shrine'.
Momotarou is one of Japanese folk tale.


It's a gate of Momotarou shrine.
It was a funny place. It's different from normal shrine. Much more like entertainment place, because there are some statues of character of Momotarou.






This photo is from the view of the shrine.
It was pretty.








Then we went to inside of Inuyama city.



On the way to the city I found a interesting rock in the river.
It's an art of the river. River current made this figure








There is a castle at the riverside.
This Castle is national trasure and made by wood. It's real castle. Not reconstruct. Most of the castle reconstructed, becasue of fire or some kind of natural disster, etc...

(There is my Mom on this photo. Looking up the tree.)








This house is storage for 'Dashi' (Float).
If there are some traditional events, it open and show us around.
Unfortunately not this time...
