"Kitano Tenmangu" is a little special as a spot for autumn leaves in Kyoto.
The shrine of the national treasure is also worth seeing, but the precincts that you can't normally enter, the western area is 300 maple forests.
In addition, Hideyoshi's Odoi, which is rare in Kyoto, can be seen firmly here.
Odoi is an earthwork that surrounds the outer circumference of Kyoto in order to make it easier for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to protect Kyoto.
You can see that "Oh, in the old days, this area was the capital of Kyoto."
It's not usually open to the public, so I'd like to take a closer look at the time when Momijien is held.
Even more. When you enter Momijien, you can buy it as a souvenir.
The famous Japanese sweet "Kitano Ochayu" from Kyoto's long-established Japanese sweets shop "Oimatsu" is also included.
"Kitano Tea Ceremony" is a Japanese sweet that is associated with "Kitano Tea Ceremony", a tea ceremony event held by Hideyoshi.
It is a reproduction of the Japanese sweet called "Funoyaki" that Sen no Rikyu often served at the tea ceremony.
A sweet made by putting sweet white miso in a dough kneaded with flour and then adding a little Japanese pepper.
The fluffy dough is sweetened with sweetness, and the spiciness is added to it for a unique taste.
And, three birds with one stone, one grain is a delicious event three times.
It is a rare spot for autumn leaves where you can see the history of Kyoto with your tongue.
During the autumn leaves season, there are many stores in the precincts and the mood is festive.
Kitano Tenmangu is often lined with stalls during the green leaves, plum festivals, and antique markets.
What is popular among Kyoto people is that there are various events that you will feel familiar with.
Speaking of Tenjin, cows. When I looked into this relationship, I found that there was no reason for it to be surprising.
Still, it's strange that everybody strokes and loves Tenjin-sama anywhere in the country to make it slippery.
I came to see the autumn leaves, but after all I also visited. That's why this matrix.
It's very popular. The family crest is also unique and interesting.
Finally to Momijien. It is a garden along the stream.
I will walk on a small, long and narrow hill with a stream below my eyes. ..
And, as I thought, this long and narrow hill is Hideyoshi's Odoi! !!
Not the natural terrain, but the earthworks of the population.
It's too natural to notice.
Kitano Tenmangu, which is inside from here, was the edge of Kyoto.
As evidence of this, when you go down this hill and look at it from below, there is a drainage ditch that allows water to escape properly.
No, it must have been a big construction.
I am deeply moved when I think that Hideyoshi was also looking at the drainage ditch that I am looking at now.
The best time to see it is in Rakuchu, so it's from late November to early December.
Anyway, there are many people. Since it is a famous place in Kyoto, please think that the crowd rank is special A class.
It is relatively wild among the autumn leaves in Kyoto.
It is not a pattern that is carefully arranged in the garden of the temple.
There is a teahouse near the exit of Momijien.
Yes, this is the famous confectionery "Kitano Tea Ceremony" from the famous Kyoto store "Oimatsu".
You should eat this! !!
White miso bean paste is included in an article like Dorayaki.
A bite-sized and soft taste. It's elegant.
