2015 November Kyoto Ryouanji

Visited Kyoto again.
This time we could see 4 places, Kitano Tenmanguh shrine, Rokuonji, Ryouanji and Nanzenji. It was not peak time of colored leaves, but enjoyed enough.
Instead too much walking made my foot painful.

2015 Nov. KYOTO Kitano Tenmanguh

Firstly we visited Kitano Tenmanguh It's a shrine for Michizane Sugawara. He was a genius in Heian-era. After his death people treated as a one of Godes. Now he is popular as God of Study. There are so many Tenmanguh in Japan here and there.
Kyoto Kitano Tenmanguh is the Main Shrine of them.

He was a master of Japanese poem (Waka).
