The Shrine is dedicated to the god of beauty, so it's popular among women who wish for beauty. You can draw your ideal face on the mirror shaped Ema.😊💄🪞 There're some skillfull portraits!😊 On the way back, I found some mushrooms at the day. I wonder if it's Reishi mushrooms?! 下鴨神社の境内にある河合神社へも行きました。この神社は美の神様がまつられているので、美しくなりたいと願う女性達に人気です 鏡の形をした絵馬にあなたの理想の顔を描くことができます いくつか上手に描いてある絵馬がありますね! その日帰る途中で、きのこを見つけました 霊芝かな?! **Language**: English *11 likes · 141 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/HOPRNUq4FTJNHD.md) --- ## 2. 8/24/2025 I visited Shimogamo Shrine that is a World Heritage Site. It's surrounded by lush greenery that can make you feel a sacred atmosphere. I wanted to go to a Japanese confectionery store close to the station near the shrine. But unfortunately it was closed for summer holidays. The shop has popular bean daifuku with long lines. 世界遺産の下鴨神社へ行ってきました。 豊かな自然に囲まれていて、神聖な空気を感じます。 神社の最寄駅の近くにある和菓子屋へ行きたかったのですが、あいにく夏季休業中でした。 その店は、行列のできる人気の豆大福を売っています。 **Language**: English *14 likes · 1 comments · 224 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/IjumOWRHqLBNHD.md) --- ## 3. 8/22/2025 I often see orange pill bottles in American movies. Its style is totally difficult from Japanese one. In Japan, the prescription drug is in its blister pack or packed in one package at a time. I also found the American style bottles sold on various Japanese online shopping sites! It's interesting.😎👍 It seems to be used for interior decoration and storage of small articles. アメリカ映画で、オレンジ色の薬容器をよく見かける。日本と全然違うスタイルだ。 日本では、処方薬はシートに入っているか、一回分ずつ一包化されている。 それと、日本の様々な通販サイトで、アメリカスタイルの容器が販売されているのを見つけた。おもしろい。 インテリアや、小物の保存に使われるようだ。 **Language**: English *12 likes · 4 comments · 167 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/xaLGyEnWnUXNHD.md) --- ## 4. 8/22/2025 I can't sleep well and wake up at 3 or 4am these days. I was reading Sherlock comics so that I could go back to sleep, but I'm still awake. I threw in the towel, and decided to get up. I often read a English vocabulary book before going to bed. It helps me fall a sleep easily! I want to use my vocabulary book until it's worn out, but it looks still okay. Sherlock is my all-time favorite TV series:) **Language**: English *23 likes · 12 comments · 391 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/DRIGnMERulXNHD.md) --- ## 5. 8/17/2025 Visted Chion-in Temple. There were not many people. I saw most Japanese using a parasol, but not foreign tourists on the way there. This temple has two steps. One of them is steep steps which called "Otoko-zaka". Otoko means male in Japanese. The other is gradual steps which called "Onna-zaka".Onna means female. I got caught in a sudden downpour after I left there. 知恩院へ行ってきました。 人は多くなかったです。 ほとんどの日本人は日傘をさしているけど、海外からの観光客の方達は、日傘をさしていませんね。 ここは2ヵ所の階段があります。 一つは、急な階段で、 "男坂"と呼ばれています。もう一つは、緩やかな階段で、"女坂"と呼ばれています。 ここを出た後に、ゲリラ豪雨にあいました。🌀☔️😂☔️😓☔️🌀 ゲリラ豪雨 =sudden downpour, heavy rain showers **Language**: English *19 likes · 3 comments · 273 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/H5HDO1TUJVujHD.md) --- ## 6. 8/17/2025 It's been very humid from at night to early morning these days. It was super humid yesterday morning. Almost 100% !! 😸💦 I've never seen this before. (I've only just started checking it from last month though.)
