嵐山から嵐電で北野白梅町へ。北野天満宮から上七軒、さらに西陣の三上家路地など路地裏散策。ただ歩くだけでもワクワクする、やっぱり京都は凄いです。

Starbucks in Japan seem to be a little different than here in the States. I have come across several specially designed stores in Japan outside of the normal Starbucks fare. This one is along a promenade leading up to Tenmangu Shrine, a very popular shrine.  The shrine is dedicated to scholars. The deity was actually a real person, Sugawara Michizane. He had been exiled to Kyushu, where he ended…

NHK World Japan : A Demon-Cutting Sword

Legend has it that in 10th Century Japan, Kyoto was attacked by demons that devour humans. A Samurai wielding the Onikirimaru, managed to slay them all. The sword is preserved till this day the Kitano-tenmangu Shrine in Kyoto. Minamoto no Mitsunaka commissioned the sword to protect the earthly realm.

Private Blessings at Kitano Tenmangū

For my first semester abroad I went to Kitano Tenmangū again to receive a private blessing for success in passing my finals. I think a lot of people might get nervous about asking for blessings if they're not Japanese, but it's fairly easy if you know the basic kanji and how to ask at the shrine office about blessings. I got some lovely plum wine as a gift after the blessing.

Of course you also get an Ema to write one so I did. Lots of folks will tie a 5¥ coin to it for good luck. And the seasonal flowers were sunflowers and hydrangeas at the Temizuya again. I was also lucky their Aoi Momiji garden was open, basically it's Japanese Maple but instead of the peak season being fall and the leaves red, it's summer and the leaves are this insanely bright green.
