Part 3
Day 5
Kifune
Shrine
It was raining in
the morning when we left our hotel for Kifune. Kifune is in the northern part
of Kyoto City.
After about two
hours we got to Kifune entrance by bus and train. On the way to Kifune there
were many green maple trees along the road. It was like a green tunnel. The
train slowed down when we got to the beautiful view.
We walked along a
grove in the rain and reached the Kifune Shrine at last. Many red colored
lanterns were lined on the stone steps to the shrine. They were beautiful,
mysterious and fantastic. They seemed to lead us to the shrine. We prayed for
the safety of our trip.
Kifune is popular
as a summer resort and Kawadoko cooking. We can enjoy the cooking on a deck
above the river. But it was regrettable that the Kawadoko restaurant was closed
because of the rain.
My shoes became
soaked with rain. We went back to the hotel and I stuffed my shoes with
newspaper.
