It has been a slight raining from the morning but by the time we finish schooling and lunch it stopped!
We had a couple more students joining us from France and Russia! We are all mingled and having a lot of fun!
Typhoon seems to be approaching us but so far not much problems, even better not to have heating days!

Martial Arts Dojo Experience!
Some students joined the special weekend opportunity of Martial Arts Practice.
Learning various self-defense techniques as well as observing different kinds of Martial Arts Performance.
Though it was pouring rain outside, those who joined today had a great and unique experience.
I hope they will remember the technique that they learned today in a possible critical moment in future.

The Silver Pavilion or Ginkakuji Temple!
After lunch we visited the Silver Pavilion, Ginkakuji-temple whose neighborhood enjoyed GTS birth some half a century ago!
Where is the silver? No such things!
Well, To ponder this issue, students could stroll along the Philosopher's Trail!
Once deviated from the Trail, we got to the main street where we could enjoy the ATM machine and the bus ride.

Heian Jingu Shrine under the rain!
Unfortunately or fortunately, it was raining all day long but it was in a sense the best day to visit Heian Jingu Shrine garden which is the largest garden in Kyoto city!
Everyone was annoyed by raining but enjoying hopping stones and feeding carp and snappers!
After observing Heian Jingu Shrine, we were headed to Kyoto Handicraft Center which was recently innovated!
It seems that the rain will continue tomorrow then we can go to Sanjusangen-do!

Nijo Castle and its garden!
After having lunch in the school area, the bus No.50 took us to the right in front of the main gate of the Nijo Castle.
The main hall has been famous for it squeaking Nightingale corridor. This particular hall was used for the last Shogun of Tokugawa to return its power to the emperor in 1868 known as Meiji Restoration.
The main hall gate has just re-roofed and now is a shining brass. After walking around its garden students were dismissed and went to wherever they like.
Since Kyoto Manga Museum is famous and very close to the Nijo Castle, quite a few went to the museum where they can freely go in and out with their Kyoto School ID!!!
Another gorgeous day!

Kiyomizu-dera Temple to Yasaka Shrine!
Under the nice steamy weather we walked from Kiyomizu-dera Temple on top of the hill to Yasaka Shrine through Maruyama Park which is famous for Cherry Blossoms in Spring.
So many shops from Kiyomizu Temple through Kiyomizu-zaka, Sannen-zaka, Ninen-zaka to Kodaiji Temple!
On the way the huge image of Buddha for Mersy (Kannon) was watching down us!
Nice walk under the sun hopefully made everyone refreshed!
Everyone looks good and our speedy adventure will continue!

Eikando (Zenrinji) and Nanzenji-Temple
After eating lunch in the school area, we went to Eikando (Zenrinji Temple) for which the maple leaf (Momiji) has been famous.
We left Eikando for Nanzenji Temple. Until the last trip last summer, I would call my mother as she lived closer to the Nanzenji temple. Now she is in the assisted living community, so I felt a bit sad.
The weather was exceptionally ideal for travelers like us and we all felt good!
