Snaps from Kyoto and Shiga in Japan        京都と滋賀からのスナップ : This time, the photos were taken in Shiga (Omimaiko) and Kyoto. There’s no coherent theme in the gallery other than that they are my favorite photos. Comments and rating are always welcome.

日光 : 日光是東京地區最有名的古蹟區,日光二宮一社(東照宮、二荒山神社、輪王寺)都已被聯合國教科文組織列為世界文化遺產。
往日光的方法很多,如果有JR Pass,可以搭新幹線到宇都宮,再換JR日光線到達日光;亦可搭東武鐵道(更方便),從東京直達日光。
因為我們有JR Pass,當然要繼續搭免錢的,而且一旦搭上東武鐵道,就會錯過宇都宮著名的餃子了。

高山 : 今天名古屋地區大雨,雨大到新幹線全部誤點20分鐘以上,而且高山本線列車一度停駛。
因此本來預計搭0843名古屋開的WideView Hita 1號,結果拖到快11點才從名古屋上車。整個名古屋往高山的月台上一團混亂,因此也無心去拍進站的JR名車Kiha 85(都還擔心上不了車咧)。
原先要去看的合掌屋也去不成了,總之是令人沮喪的一天。

中山道 : 中山道是以前可以從京都直達東京的陸上要道。沿途有許多村落因應旅人的需求蓋了許多民宿,因而成為著名的民宿聚落,妻籠與馬籠就是這樣的一個地方。這次我們是預定從妻蘢逛到馬蘢,來個古蹟尋幽訪勝之旅。
