Oct 29, went to Nara with my parents. I wore the ninja shoes I made in Kyoto, they are very easy to walk, light and comfortable, my husband bought a pair of black too and he loves it!! Highly recommended ;) 両親と奈良へ。正倉院展気軽に行ったのですが長蛇の列でビビりました。後はならまち探索、と思ったけど、父様は脚が痛くなってしまったらしく、途中で断念。申し訳なく思うと共に、親の年齢を想う歳になったと、切なくもありました。脚腰大事、これからも運動は続けてゆこう。 #奈良 #地下足袋 #五重塔#着物 #nara #ninja #jikatabi #kimono
I did some previous blabla about the mingling of modernity and tradition in Japan, so here you go: Tokyo Skytree 東京スカイツリーand Sensoji 浅草寺 in Tokyo’s Asakusa 浅草area, Taito ward 台東区. The whole area maintains a nice atmosphere of old edo Japan with it’s temple, pagoda and shopping streets. However, as almost every building in Tokyo. the main hall 本堂 is a postwar structure dating back to 1956, the pagoda 五重塔 was finished not before 1973. Anyway, it’s a pleasent area that recently got more attention because of the opening of the nearby Skytree with it’s shopping center. You can combine some tradition and ultra-modernity in one trip, if you want to do so.
