接着上回说,吃完满足的早午餐,决定趁着天好,做一次岚山特有的人力车。拉车的车夫们个个年轻力壮,小腿肌肉线条在日积月累的锻炼后,健美的跟青蛙腿似的,秀色可餐(抹一把口水)。坐上人力车,除了火车来的时候要等等,其他所有的行人,车辆都会给你让路,可以说体会到皇室出巡的气派了。下车以后,在秋高气爽的天气里闲逛,遇上的咸菜铺,豆腐店,也都跟着美好的一塌糊涂(不过回头冷静的想一想,其实也真的都是水准很高的店铺!都是在地小店没有自己的网站,我绞尽脑汁回忆了它们的位置,下面文章里都给了地图坐标:))
After brunch, we went back on to the main road, where it was always packed with people, cars, and ebisuyas.
It's not about whether you can walk for miles or not, the Ebisuya (Rickshaw) ride in Arashiyama is something you should always try. All the coachmen are young and fit with perfectly toned legs. They are cheerful and friendly, and will talk to you all about local haunts around the routes you select to go about. And through all the crowds in Arashiyama, almost everyone needs to give priority to the ebisuyas(except maybe just trains). I promise you'll feel so important by the end of the trip.
After a half hour trip on ebisuya, we got off the enjoy this unbelievably summery autumn day on foot.
A rain cloud far away in the mountains produced a beautiful rainbow in the blue sunny sky. So good I could eat it.
Wondering around, we passed a very steamy street with people queueing up in the steam. Odd picture indeed. But it turned out to be an amazing local fresh made tofu shop. Just know the area is famous for soy products including tofu and all of its variations. We went for the only two options that was cooked and ready to eat on the spot. A deep fried tofu skin with soy sauce, and a tofu and vegetable ball. (address: 〒616-8447 Kyōto-fu, Kyōto-shi, Ukyō-ku, Sagashakadōfujinokichō, 42 嵯峨豆腐森嘉)
