We first went to Nara, at this place we did go to the Kasuga Taisha Shrine to check the many temples there and had a chance to see some babies which are a month old that were there to be purified, a process that is repeated on their third and seventh year, what is quite different about the place is that it has a huge number probably thousands of lanternes, either in stone or metal, We then continued to the Todaiji temple in which we saw the biggest Buddha here which is 19m heigh, and we finally had lunch in a local restaurant nearby where it was mainly meat that fried in a pot in front of us. After the lunch we went to the Kofukuji temple to check the five stages pagoda, and had a short freetime to wander around the city. What is very specific here too is that there are Deers living in freedom there that you can easily touch and feed, and that are quite everywhere on the area. After this we continued to Fushimi to check the Sake Museum, unfortunately the program has been changed as since the Influenza is quite a problem right now we had a french movie instead of the brewrie visit which ended with a sake degustation, before that we went quickly through the museum and saw the original tools that were used to make sake. And for information the sake here is rice wine which is about 15% and has nothing in Chinese restaurant. After being back in Kyoto we had some freetime before dinner and then I went with other to check the Gion area. I guess you might have question after one or two of the pictures but won&#8217;t say anything before you ask.<\/p>\n<p>Un nouveau jour au Japon, et tandis que nous sommes arriv\u00e9s hier \u00e0 Kyoto ce n&#8217;est pas cette ville que nous avons visit\u00e9e aujourd&#8217;hui, en dehors du quartier de Gion pour tenter d&#8217;apercevoir Geiko et Maiko. Nous sommes tout d&#8217;abord all\u00e9 \u00e0 Nara, et plus pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment au Sanctuaire Kasuga Taisha, pour d\u00e9couvrir les nombreux temples composant cet endroit et avons eu la chance de voir des b\u00e9b\u00e9s qui \u00e9taient amen\u00e9 en ce lieu pour \u00eatre purifi\u00e9 un mois environ apr\u00e8s la naissance, une action qui est r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9e lors des trois ans et sept ans de l&#8217;enfant, mais ce qui est aussi assez diff\u00e9rent c&#8217;est le nombre tr\u00e8s importants de lanternes de pierres ou de m\u00e9tal, qui est sans doute sup\u00e9rieur a mille et qui bordent les chemins et les divers temples. Ensuite nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 voir le temple Todaiji qui apprite le grand Boudha de 19m, et nous avons finalement \u00e9t\u00e9 prendre notre d\u00e9jeuner dans un restaurant local. Apr\u00e8s cela une derni\u00e8re visite nous emmena au temples de Kofukuji pour y d\u00e9couvrir la pagode \u00e0 cinq \u00e9tages, avant d&#8217;avoir \u00e0 notre disposition un court moment de temps libre. Un dernier point sp\u00e9cifique et que dans cette ville de nombreux daims vivent en totale libert\u00e9, et sont donc facilement approch\u00e9 par l&#8217;homme et \u00e9videmment il est possible de les nourrir. Nous avons ensuite \u00e9t\u00e9 a Fushimi pour visiter la fabrique de Sak\u00e9, ce qui malheureusement s&#8217;est transform\u00e9 en projection vid\u00e9o en fran\u00e7ais puis visite expresse du mus\u00e9ee suivie d&#8217;une d\u00e9gustation, tandis qu&#8217;en raison de la grippe A H1N1 la visite de la fabrique en elle m\u00eame fut interdite.  Et pour information, le sake japonais n&#8217;a rien a voir avec le soit disant sak\u00e9 des chinois le degr\u00e9s d&#8217;alcool n&#8217;\u00e9tant que de 15% environ tandis que ca fabrication s&#8217;effectue \u00e0 partir de sake et d&#8217;eau pure. Apr\u00e8s notre retour \u00e0 Kyoto nous avons eu un peu de temps libre avant le diner et de partir \u00e0 la recherche des geiko et maiko dans le quartier de Gion. je me doute qu&#8217;il y aura des questions sur une ou deux des photos mais je les laisserai \u00eatre pos\u00e9es avant de donner une r\u00e9ponse.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.fr\/avandoorine\/JapanDay5\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/picasaweb.google.fr\/avandoorine\/JapanDay5<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"facebook\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=https:\/\/japan.atlanteans.net\/?p=92\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\">Share on Facebook<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One new day in Japan, and while we arrived at Kyoto yesterday we didn&#8217;t actually visit it today, except going to the Gion area, in which we tried to get a glimpse of geiko and maiko.
