goodbye nara



Leaving Nara was easier than imagined -we walked along the streets and immediately followed people to queue for Nakatanidou's yomogi mochi. Also my first time seeing wanted posters.

Probably my favourite set of all: Kasuga Taisha.

It was rather disappointing to arrive at Wakakusayama just to learn that it is not open to public in winter (just found out that trails are opened only from mid-March to mid-June and from mid-September to mid-November). Being full from the dango, we shared a curry rice at a random store on the street; the people are one of the nicest and the store gave a really Japanese ambiance, something like the Namiya General Store. We met a herd of greedy deer and learned about signs that make them leave you a.k.a the nothing-on-my-hand sign. Still a lot of deer poop in sight.

february & march























Just a wordplay on Nigatsudo and Sangatsudo; at least that was my first thought when I saw their names. It was nice to be able to stand somewhere high. We tried some mitarashi dango while feeling hungry on the way and decided that dangos were meant to be sweet. It was also nice to catch some of the very last red maples -they just made the last photo super dreamy.
