It is still very cold in Hiroshima but I really wanted to have enjoyable winter holiday, so I planed the short trip.
The destination of a trip is an old town "Takehara" which is in Hiroshima.
The Heian period (about 1000 years ago) to Kyoto and the relation of Takehara are deep, and it is the emotional town which made salt and Sake and prospered also after that.
There is very small town, it is possible to do sightseeing at half a day.
Not so many people visit here from outside the prefecture and foreign country,so here is little-known hot spots in Hiroshima prefecture.
This is the aesthetic area which leaves old rows of houses↑↑
a big house!!! and so beautiful walls covered with coat of greenish brown color plaster.
It is the feature that there is a lattice not only in this house but in the old houses of Takehara↓↓
All of art, since carpenters of those days vied in making a lattice more delicate.
It is interesting, if an one-house one-house design is different and sees and walks.
The building which is an important cultural property, you pay about 200yen admission fee, and can go into inside of the house.
There are the cafe and gallery which reformed the old private house, and there are also the grocery and liquor store which a local person uses ordinarily.
A Zen temple is located in end of an aesthetic area.
It basked in the setting sun at this time, and was very beautiful.↓↓
I didn't go up to there because I am not interesting the temple.
Instead, it was an immediately near temple I went there for Hatsumode,(the first visit in the year to a shrine.)
It is said that this temple is called "Kodo" and is the oldest temple in Takehara.
well, Did you know that Hermes is the god of business in Frence!? I didn't know it but my French friend told me!! then I was very surprised!! so do you know how to call the god of business in Japanese? it calls ''Ebisu'' !!
