Kamogawa delta.
It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, with refreshingly blue skies, and the riverwater was twinkling reflecting the sun.
Inside the shrine runs a stream with pristine water, which has been like this for hundreds of years. The whole area is well-preserved, and many spots inside the area saw various historic events.
A portable residence of Kamono Chomei, a wonderer, a poet, and an essayist. He (his servants, to be precise) carried around this portable residence for himself to be able to write anywhere. It's a cubic structure with 3 meter-sides. 1 jo is equivallent to 3 meters, and that is why this structure is called hojo (square jo).
Plum trees have started to bloom!
The famous bright red gate!!
Taken with a smartphone camera. It's darker... a good camera is worthwhile.
