Risshisha

Hello welcome back to Risshisha!
This is Maeda.

I feel that there is still colder,
but the day to feel coming of spring
in strong sunlight rotates surely in a season.

I went to Kitano-Tenman-gu Shrine late last week

Kitano-Tenman-gu Shrine is famous for a plum.
That reminds me it is just the season of the plum.(slightly early?)
Well, will a timely, can you see the beautiful plum?

Kitano-Tenman-gu Shrine
It is about 20 minutes by bus from Shijo-Omiya Station.
It is near from Risshisha,
But, this is the first time that I go out here.

There are many people who
worship God of the study,
Prince Michizane Sugawara,
and give an examinee
a lucky charm here.

There is indeed much number of ume trees in the precincts.
It has begun to bloom here and there.

When I saw generally, i thought
The full-booming is from now on.
I thought it was in full blossom,
on the late February and early March.

I found a sweets shop.
"長五郎餅 chogoro rice cake"
that is popular here.

I bought it home as a souvenir,
taste and the appearance is such as
the rice cake stuffed with sweetened bean jam.
It was good.

There is a plum garden that requires admission fee,
I wanted to come when it in full blossom.
