城山から寺社が集まる東山地区に遊歩道と目印があり、回ってみました。城山あたりは坂道で山道でしたが、それ以外は路地や普通の道路でした。ある寺ではニホンカモシカがいてビックリしました。こじんまりした寺が多く散策は楽しかったです。 more »

Promenade and landmark, looked around the Higashiyama district temples and shrines from the Castle. Shiroyama per was a mountain on the slope, but otherwise it was alley and ordinary roads. Japanese serow in the temple, I was surprised. A small temple, fun walks.
