Seasonal Scenery of the Neighborhood

Gion-Shirakawa River, lined with cherry trees in spring.
The cherry blossoms filled the cobblestone street like a haze, giving it an indescribable atmosphere.

If you go east on Furumonzen St. at the end of this alley, you will see summer willows swaying in the wind, the Shirakawa River flowing leisurely, and the Kuromon Gate of Chionin Temple.

The Shirakawa River is just a one-minute walk away from the house.
Japanese maples in red color the Gion-Shirakawa River in autumn.

At the end of Chionin St. is the Sanmon Gate,
the entrance to Chionin Temple.
Under the clear winter sky, the majestic and grandiose appearance of the gate is a scenery that you shouldn't miss.
