Ijinkan in Kobe

I went to Kitano Ijinkan in sunny saturday with my Japanese friend, Kota. It was smaller than my thought.. but I could enjoy european buildings and remains of it. That building was under construction.
This small fountain is located in front of Weathercock House. Some reporter was recording their program in front of this.
This is the Weathercock House.. I didn't know the name of this building at that time. I searched about this. And I could know this building constructed as the house of German trader G.Thomas in 1909, and famous for the weathercock on the steeple. Designated as a National Important Cultural Property.
This is Holland House. It was former consul-general's house. Producing unique perfume with fragrant materials from Holland. But it costs too much for few perfume. So I didn't make it.. haha I may make this when I visit Nertherland. I could saw the furnitures and rooms. Oh, there was strange bag in second floor. Many people put their coins in it. The bathtub was quite good.. haha

Ryoanji temple in Kyoto.


Pond of Ryoanji temple. I heard this temple is famous for only garden. But this pond is beautiful!
This is rock garden. It's one of famous karesansui garden. The main elements of karesansui are rocks and sand. I just sit and saw this garden with my family. Suddenly many Japanese childrens came to this place. They were quite loud. After they left this temple, I could enjoy garden again.
The steps to the main building. I walked these steps and forest.
The front gate of Ryoanji. I just arrived here before they closed. So, I and my family had to look quickly. Though, it was calm and good place to take a rest.
