문화의 수도 교토는, 근대적 건축물 건설에 반대가 많은 교토에서는, 교토 타워도 예외가 아니 였습니다. 그러나, 1964년에 겨우 완성되어져 일반에 공개되 었습니다. 일본의 전통적인 촛불 모양과 비슷한 디자인의 전망타워인 교토 타워는, JR 교토역 맞은편에 있습니다. 전망대의 망원경 너머로 풍성한 문화를 간직한 아름다운 교토의 거리들을 허공에 떠 있는 기분으로 내려다 볼 수 있습니다. 꼭 한번 찾아가 경험해 보십시오.
다이이치 아사히 라멘 (일본어 링크: http://www.honke-daiichiasahi.com/)은 교토역 근처에 있는 교토 스타일 라멘집이다. 이 식당은 평소보다 진한 쇼유 (소야)를 기반으로 한 국물로 잘 알려져 있다. 맛집이기 때문에 줄을 설 준비를 하셔야 할꺼다. 가격은 꽤 저렴하고, 이 집의 시그니쳐 라멘은 800엔 이다. 타카쿠라도리와 시오코지도리를 교차로 근처 교토역 북쪽으로 걸어오시면 5분 정도밖에 안 걸리고. 영업은 오전 5시부터 오전 2시까지 한다.
교토 시모교코에서 '긴조 라멘 쿠보타'에 대한 호평 리뷰를 읽은 후, 나는 이 정통적인 로컬 미소 전문 라멘 가게에 들러봐야겠다고 결심했다.
교요리(京料理),혹은 가이세키요리는 깔끔한 사계의 아름다움을 접시와 주발 속에 재현한 일본 음식이다. 다회는 차 뿐만이 아니라 술을 동반하는 식사도 함께 해 손님을 대접하지만, 그 깊은 대접의 의기가 이 "지키미야자와(じき宮ざわ)"에서는 느낄 수 있다.
Nishi Hongan-ji is a large Buddhist temple west of Kyoto train station. Together with Higashi Hongan-ji, together with Nishi Hongan-ji, it is one of the two temple complexes of Shin Buddhism in Kyoto. It currently also serves as the main temple of the Jodo -Shin sect, one of the largest Buddhist sects in Japan with over 10,000 sub-temples across the country and 200 temples overseas. Built in 1591 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the building is a great example of the architecture of the Momoyama Period and the Early Edo Period. The two largest structures by Nishi Hongan-ji are the Goeido Hall, the largest wooden structure in Kyoto, and the Amidado Hall. Nishi Hongan-ji is also one of the 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kyoto. A small Japanese garden called Shoseien is a few blocks east of Higashi Hongan-ji. Nowadays the garden with its pond and the particularly beautiful autumn colors is open to the public.
The Kamo River (鴨川), meaning “duck river,” is a prominent and scenic waterway flowing through Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. It has long been a cultural and natural landmark of the city, offering beautiful scenery and a peaceful atmosphere throughout the seasons. The riverbanks are especially popular with locals and tourists alike, who come to enjoy leisurely walks, picnics, and the seasonal beauty of cherry blossoms in spring or the cool breezes in fall. In the warmer months, many riverside restaurants open special balconies known as noryo-yuka, allowing diners to enjoy their meals with a view of the flowing river. Walkways run alongside much of the river’s course, and several spots feature stepping stones that allow pedestrians to cross on foot. Historically, the Kamo River has played a significant role in Kyoto’s development. When the Heian Capital (modern-day Kyoto) was established in the late 8th century, the river’s course was redirected to flow east of the new palace. Despite this effort, the river was prone to flooding, which became a recurring problem for the ancient capital. Emperor Shirakawa famously lamented that three things were beyond his control: the armed monks of Enryaku-ji, dice, and the waters of the Kamo River. Today, the river is more regulated, with reinforced banks and drainage systems. Parallel to it runs the Takase River, a canal constructed by merchant Suminokura Ryoi in the early 17th century to facilitate transportation and reduce reliance on the unpredictable main river. The Kamo River is also culturally significant, flowing past two important Shinto shrines—Kamigamo and Shimogamo—and through the sacred forest of Tadasu-no-mori that lies between them.
