On April 14th

Tomoko showed people from France around Ryoanji temple, Kinkakuji temple, Nijo castle, Fushimi Inari shrine, and Toji temple. We talked about the idea of zen at Ryoanji temple, the 3rd shogun of Muromachi period at Kinkakuji temple, the way of life of Shogun and the castle in 1600 at NIjo castle. Cooking OKonomiyaki by ourselves at a local restaurant was fun. We enjoyed walking through Torii tunnel. We had a little more time, so I decided to visit Toji temple, where we saw the five-story pagoda and Buddha images.
