7th Day and it is finally the beginning of the separation for the end of the trip, after leaving all our luggage which will make the trip back to Tokyo alone, we then met our new guide before leaving the hotel to complete our visit of Kyoto by going first to the Ginkaku-ji or Silver Pavillon which is currently like many other historical places being under restoration, but more than this temple it is the external garden that you will discover on today’s pictures. After that we went to the bottom of the mountain we were to discover the garden of Nanzen-ji, garden that are linked to the Buddhist Zen sect. To discover a good part of the place we once again had to remove our shoes, we saw several dry gardens, as well as the interior gates and an aqueduct. Then it was time to get to Kyoto main station, to have lunch, before taking the shinkansen, which is an equivalent of the French TGV, for Himeji. One thing that is very striking is that it is gives you much more space than any train I ever took; it took us a little less than an hour to cover the 150km of the ride. Once at Himeji we left our bags in a coin locker at the station before setting out to go and check the White “heron” castle, which is very different of what many knows as our French castle are all in stone, while here it is made mainly of Wood, a lengthy visit that put us on our knees as we had to climb quite a lot to get to the top of the castle, while the inside was once again made without shoes. After this it was already time to get back to the station and to take a second train that took us to Hiroshima in about 60 minutes. Once arrived and setup at the hotel we went to eat Okonomiyaki, and then it was time to have a try at the Karaoke in Japan, which is very fun as you get in private rooms with thousands of songs to choose from.<\/span><\/p>\n

7\u00e8me journ\u00e9e et voici le voyage en groupe s\u00e9par\u00e9 qui d\u00e9bute, apr\u00e8s avoir laiss\u00e9 nos valises qui retournerons seules \u00e0 Tokyo tandis que nous finissons le voyage, nous avons rencontr\u00e9 notre nouveau guide avant de partir pour terminer les visites \u00e0 Kyoto avec tout d’abord la visite de Ginkaku-Ji et de son pavillon d’argent qui est actuellement comme de nombreux b\u00e2timents en cours de r\u00e9novation, mais plus que le temple ce sont les jardins ext\u00e9rieur que vous pourrez aussi d\u00e9couvrir dans les photos de cette journ\u00e9e. Apr\u00e8s cela nous sommes partis pour le bas de la montage \u00e0 la d\u00e9couverte des jardins de Nanzen-ji, jardins li\u00e9 \u00e0 la secte bouddhique Zen. Nous y avons d\u00e9couvert principalement les petits jardins secs ainsi que les portes int\u00e9rieures et un aqueduc, pour d\u00e9couvrir une bonne partie du lieu, il nous fallu une fois encore nous s\u00e9parer de nos chaussures pour le temps d’une partie de la visite. Nous avons ensuite rejoins la gare de Kyoto, afin de prendre un repas et de prendre ensuite le Shinkansen, \u00e9quivalent du TGV ici au Japon pour Himeji. L’une des surprise et que ce train et bien plus spacieux et facile que n’importe quel TGV, ils <\/span>nous a ainsi men\u00e9 en un peu moins d’une heure \u00e0 150km de Kyoto. Une fois arriv\u00e9 \u00e0 Himeji, nous avons continu\u00e9 le parcours \u00e0 pied, laissant nos sacs dans une consigne, pour rejoindre le ch\u00e2teau du H\u00e9ron Blanc, ce ch\u00e2teau est vraiment stup\u00e9fiant tant il est diff\u00e9rent de ce que l’on conna\u00eet en France en terme de ch\u00e2teau fort en pierre, alors qu’ici il s’agit v\u00e9ritablement d’un ch\u00e2teau fait enti\u00e8rement de bois, ainsi que tout ce qui l’entourait \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque de sa conception. Une visite assez longue qui nous permis l\u00e0 aussi \u00e0 la condition de nous d\u00e9chausser de rejoindre le sommet de ce ch\u00e2teau. Apr\u00e8s cette visite assez \u00e9prouvante physiquement nous sommes revenus \u00e0 la gare prendre un second train qui nous a amen\u00e9 \u00e0 Hiroshima en un peu plus de 60 minutes. Une fois arriv\u00e9 nous nous sommes install\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019h\u00f4tel puis nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 prendre notre repas qui \u00e9tait pour ce soir un Okonomiyaki. Apr\u00e8s ce repas bien sympathique nous nous sommes rendus dans un Karaok\u00e9, mais rien \u00e0 avoir avec les vieilleries en France, ici petites salles privatives et s\u00e9lection de chanson vraiment \u00e9norme, plusieurs milliers de titres.<\/p>\n
