I Walk Around Nara City

I think that just one week is not enough to see all Nara city around. There are many sightseeing places, temples, museums, shops, flowers and so on.

 

I'm sure that you can enjoy staying in the town any season it may be; the deer living the town should welcome you in every occasion.

All photos of today's post were taken by my wife, Kiyono using her smartphone.

I Go to a Restaurant, "10 Picnic Tables"

Murasaki Shikibu was a Japanese novelist, poet during the Heian period. 

She is best known as the author of The Tale of Genji, widely considered to be one of the world's first novels, written in Japanese between about 1000 and 1012.

The board in the above picture, located near "10 Picnic Tables" says that those are called tomb stones of Murasaki Shikibu.

But, according to Wikipedia, her tomb was built in Kyoto region.
