We tried to buy a xmas cake, but it's toooo expensive u_u XDDDDD and I did a xmas tree using lettuce and apples A_A it was GREAT A_A I should have take a picture U_U XDDDDDDDD<333 Anyway, I hope you all had a happy xmas ^^ I love you all <333333333333333333333333333333333333
Hnn, want to hear more about the trip??? <333 XDDDDDDDDDDDDD I have some (lots) of pictures to show you guys <33333333333
Well, I don't remember if I told you XDDD But I left Tokyo at the 20th and came for Toyohashi, to my friend's house <333 I know him since I'm...I don't know, lots of years ago and he came to live here. It was great to see him after almost two years T_T<3333333333333 and the city where he lives has a lot of beautiful places too *_*<33333333
Toyokawa Inari-sama <3
Me in the front of the temple
So, just a few pics of the too many that I took, of the most beautiful place EVER <3 It's a buddist temple (Tera <3) in the city next of here named Toyokawa <3333 I was amused with everything...and this temple was jusr...perfect <3 Like stopped in the time. I could easily imagine how was the life in there...actually how still IS the life, because all the monks live exaclty like in the old times. I even heard them praing and god...I shivered the hell off XDD<33333333
A detail <3
Purifying hands~
You wash your hands before entering the temple and throwing a coin, clapping two times before making your wish <333 I threw coins in every temple that I went XDDDDDDD
One of the houses of the temples' complex <3333333333
The passage~
Here is the entry of something that I don't understand compltely. I think it's some kind of altar to their ancesters and the guardians of the temple, but I'm not sure <333333
The front of the place that I talked about XDDD<3333333
The dogs that are in the whole temple. Knowing a bit and by their faces I can tell that they're there to send away the evil spirits, but as I said, I'm not sure XDDD<33333333 And the red means sacred, SO... let's suppose that's this XD It's amazing anyway...looks like another world <3
I guess that this is a Momiji tree <3333 XDDDDD<3 *sings Momiji Manju*
BIG THING *_* XDDDDDD
The main temple and the garden<3
Street~
Here is the example of the streets in Toyokawa <333 As I said, everything is really traditional and cute and everything XDD<3333
SO...Nagoya <3
Here is me in front of an old Noh theatre <333 they don't make plays anymore and it became some kind of museum <333 Inside there was two animated dolls, simulating a samurai fight *__*<3333
More me at the front of the theatre XDDDD
Aren't we beautiful? XDDDD
Inside the theatre that was a part that let us try the old masks <3 XDD there's a whole ritual...about only touching the masks on the strings and never on the face, because the paint can go out XDDDD But it was nice...and the noh's actors could barely see all the things, bcaue the holes are too restricted o_o<3
And now at the entry of Nagoya's castle *_*
Me and the castle~
Man...it's TOTALLY gorgeous *_____* I mean...it's a REAL castle *____* and real battles happened in there *_____*<33333 and...it's amazing, you can actually see the whole village...and inside also became a museum. What's kind of pity, because I wish I could see how it truly was *_*<3
A bit of autumn~<3
Ocha-ya
Can you see me inside?XDDD It's an old ochaya <33333333 That's also a museum...and everything is inside the castle's place <3
Inside~
Here is inside the castle and a place that I REALLY loved. In the 4th floor, I think, there's this corridor <3 It's all decorated as an old village...with windows and things in the middle of it. Whil you walk, you can see the day passing by. There's also the sounds of people working, talking, children playing...and it's like you can revive how was a day in old Japan <3 This picture is from a wall that shows the night as you're seeing from a bridge <333 AWESOME *_*
More with the castle <3
Autumn~
Man...such a beautiful sight in the garden <333 I'm sure that the autumn in Japan is the most beautiful and perfect thing EVER <3
Cosplay? XD
Nana-chan <3
Now a very curious fact <3 we went away of Nagoya's castle and were walking to find a subway station. Then, we saw a building with cosplays in the window and: "What's that??? Let's get over there!" XDDDDDD we entered th building and followed some people and...WOW, it was a cosplay convention *___* We got so amused with everyone *_* All of them beautiful T_T<3333 We asked for taking some pictures...and thi girl, Nana-chan, went to talk to us, curious bcause we're foreigners XDDD she was really cute and said us to keep the touch with emals <333333
T________________T<33333
AAAND here <3333 the other temple in Nagoya, transfered to there by Oda Nobunaga *_* The Osu Kannon Temple <333333 It's beautiful *_* and to make a wish is diferent XD you throw a coin and with a huge string, you hit two times in a kind of taiko <333 In front of the temple also has a place where you smell a incense smoke to heal all your pains <33333
And next of the temple, there's a place to buy clothes *_* XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
At Toyohashi again
The Buddah~
And here, one of the creepiest episodes of my life XDDD I mean, yes, the place is beautiful but DON"T go there at night! Seriously. In the middle of a forest, with NO LIGHTS, we had to pass in the MIDDLE of a cemetery and a creepy temple to get in our bikes. MAN. No way. ever again.
AND THAT's THAT XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
