トーエーランドナーで行く 京都ご利益ポタ
さて、今日は帰路に就く日。夜迄に家に着けばよいので朝から
京都の街をポタします。
昨日泊まった町家のゲストハウス。
ここ数年、亀のお気に入りのエリアに在るゲストハウスの中で、
今回のゲストハウスが一番過ごし易いゲストハウスでした。
料金もリーズナブルなので、次回は、このゲストハウスに何日
か滞在して京都をじっくりと堪能したくなりました。
で、最初に向かうのは、銀閣寺。
まだ、早い時間の誰もいない祇園の通りを進んで、京都大学の
在る百万遍の交差点を右に曲がって、銀閣寺に向かいます。
朝一番で銀閣寺の庭を愛でるのが、ここ十年程の京都に来た時
の亀の恒例となっています。
今回も一番乗り。
一番最初に入園をすると、誰もいない庭の写真が撮れる嬉しい
ご褒美が待っています。
また今年も、しっかりと銀閣寺を堪能させて頂き、銀閣寺限定
の落雁を買い、哲学の道の脇に在るちりめん山椒のお店でちり
めん山椒をお土産にと、そのお店はまだ開いていません。
朝一番の銀閣寺を見た後だったので、お店の開店時刻にはまだ
早すぎたようです。
さあ次は、上加茂神社。鴨川沿いの道を進み到着します。
雨上がりの快晴の下、鮮やかな朱塗りの拝殿が見えてきました。
今日は、神馬は休暇中。
さて、お詣りして毎度、この神社に来たら買うすぐき漬を今回
もお土産と、毎度買うお店を見ると解体中。仮の店舗は何処に
在るのかと調べると、何とお店は閉業との事。
仕方無く、もう一軒のすぐき漬を売っているお店で買いました
が、昔ながらのすぐき漬を造るお店がとうとう最後の一軒だけ
になってしまいました。何とも寂しいものです。
上加茂神社の次は、下加茂神社。
鴨川沿いの道を下ります。
糺の森の先に拝殿が在ります。
此処でも、下加茂神社の落雁を買って帰ります。
此処の神社は、実は上加茂神社よりも歴史がより古くて、亀は
上加茂神社よりもこの下加茂神社の拝殿の方に、よりパワーを
感じます。この神社の中の説明書きにも別名称が書かれ、何気
に上加茂神社の末社では無いよとの主張を感じます。
さて、ここで一旦、先程お詣りした銀閣寺へと向かいます。
その理由はちりめん山椒を買う為。これではご利益の為なのか、
喰い意地の為のサイクリングなのか分かりません。
で、最後は四条烏丸の大丸デパートの地下で、いづうの鯖寿司
をお土産に買って帰ります。もはや、ここに至ると、もう完全
にご利益ポタでは無くて、ゆるポタグルメであります。
そして、京都駅から輪行で帰るのでありました。

Today's topic is ' My favorite places in Kyoto '
Over the past few years, I have grown fond of certain
places in Kyoto. And when I stay in a guesthouse there.
That place is Kyoto Go-jo (5-street). It's an area where
machiya ( traditional form of housing in Kyoto ), still
remains.
The machiya has been renovated into a guesthouse, where
you can stay at affordable rates, and in rooms with tatami
mats and wooden window frames, the basic form of old
Japanese housing.
There are many such guesthouses dotted around. One
guesthouse in particular that I like stands alongside a
small canal called the Takase River. I enjoy strolling
along its canal path and relaxing.
And although the guesthouse has a bath, I don't use it,
because I go to the sento (public bath), which is a few
minutes walk from the guesthouse. There are still many
sentos in Kyoto. They are run by young people. There are
many universities in Kyoto, and the students who run the
sento as part-time workers. Local people of all ages use
the sento and interact with the young people. Here, the
community, which has been lost in Japan today, is still
maintained.
When I arrive in Kyoto, I first check in at the
guesthouse, take a walk around the neighbourhood, go to
a sento and then have dinner at a nearby restaurant. In
Kyoto, there are many diners serving obanzai, that the
traditional home-style meal consisting mainly meatless
and use fish, tofu and vegetables. One of the things I
look forward to when I visit Kyoto is eating at a diner
that serves such dishes.
Kyoto is a city that values tradition, but at the same
time it's a city that adopts the latest trends of the
time. This is also true of the cuisine. Take ramen, for
example. There are many good ramen shops in Kyoto. Russian
cakes were the first European confectionery to become
popular in Japan in the early Meiji period. That Russian
cake is still sold today. There is a famous
long-established cake shop in Kyoto. There are also many
restaurants offering ' yosyoku ' cuisine, a Japanese
twist on French food.
There are also restaurants in Kyoto that serve Kaiseki
cuisine, which is a highly prestigious and traditional
Japanese dish, but there are also many restaurants
serving this variety of cuisine.
And when I stay at the Kyoto Go-jo guesthouse, I look
forward to eating at the restaurants within walking
distance.On my most recent visit to Kyoto, I had boiled
komatsuna salad and Kyoto-style oden ( Japanese stew ).
The restaurant is run by a woman my age. And you can hear
the authentic Kyoto language.
And then there are the kusiage ( fried-kebab ) and deep
fried chicken . There is a wide variety of food here,
but only the elderly owner puts all his heart and soul
into his fried dishes.
I found their kusiage to be the most delicious of the
kusiage I have ever eaten.
I don't want to tell many people about this place,
because if it becomes famous and many people use it,
I'll be in trouble if I can't get a reservation to stay
here. But I'll tell you about it specially for you. If
you ever go to Kyoto, please stay here for a few days,
because for the price of one night in a business hotel
in Kyoto you can stay guesthouse for four nights.
That's all thank you.
