Good morning guys, welcome to day two of my Otsu adventure!

程度の副詞

I had a really nice sleep last night.  My bed was so comfy!

And then I looked out the window and it was raining which I kind of expected,  but that's okay!

Cause today I'm gonna show you guys how you can enjoy a rainy day in Japan.

We're gonna find some activities to do that'll be okay in the rain.

and you'll probably need that. I don't have an umbrella,

but this has a hood, so we should be alright.

So our first stop for the day is this cable car, which we're gonna ride up a mountain.

I really love doing stuff like this. I can't wait for this.  I was holding this pamphlet in the elevator,

and a staff member saw it and they're like "oh you're gonna ride the cable car tomorrow", and I was like "yeah."

And then I went back to my room and he came up to my room and gave me these cable car tickets.

So now we've got a deal on the cable car.

And then when we get to the top there's some stuff up there waiting for us.

But I'll save that for a surprise. I think they have a really nice breakfast prepared for me!

Let's go eat that first.  My breakfast looks amazing!

Look it how fancy this is. I'm so excited to try everything.

This is green tea soba which I really love.

They're gonna be bringing something to cook on the little fire pot here in a minute. And inside here apparently,

there's a couple layers, so there's salad on top, and I think inside the second layer, there's some tofu.

orange, and this is the dressing for the salad fresh lemon salt and olive oil.

Looks like we have some tofu and some konnyaku

So pretty.  It's like artwork.  I feel so bad destroying it.

Think of the little dragon boys, that was so cute!

And they just brought me some steamed vegetables. I'm gonna let them cook here a little longer.

After that absolutely delicious and a healthy breakfast at Biwako Hotel,

I headed outside to start my second day of exploring in Otsu City.

So this is where we are right now at Sakamoto Station, and we're gonna be walking up this road, which is called

Hiyoshinobanba, and it's so pretty.   These rock walls and all these small villages here were

all built in the Edo period and they're still in really good condition.

You'll see as we walk around.  And it only takes about

15 minutes to get up to this area where we're gonna catch the cable car.

Even on a rainy day like today, I definitely recommend skipping the taxi

and taking a stroll up Hiyoshinobanba Street.

The street is lined with traditional buildings, gardens, shrines.

The views is absolutely breathtaking.  You don't want to miss it

Across the street from us here is Kyu (Former) Chikurin-in

And it's a Japanese garden where they serve matcha, so you can enjoy matcha while you're viewing the garden

and we're going to be stopping by there later.

It's got another 0.2 kilometers to the cable noriba (station)

One side get I tickets.  The car comes every half an hour.

So we've got a little bit of time about 25 minutes,  until the next one.

Had to put my hair up.  It was a little a little more humid than I was expecting today.

Look where we're gonna be heading into the forest that looks sloggy.

so this is definitely something you could still enjoy on a rainy day like today.

The cable car is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year actually.

It's been around for quite a while, so it's the beginning of the Showa era.

The cable car ride into the forest felt like something out of a TV movie.

It was magical, but just wait until we get near the top. It's really cool guys. You're gonna like it.

This is kind of fun on a rainy day, I like the fogginess.

The door on the rear right side will open to inside automatically.

Wow, we're on the top of the mountain now. You can't see anything.  It's like we're in the middle of the clouds!

Apparently they're supposed to be an amazing view from up here.

But we can't see that today, but I kind of like it. It's...it's neat.

It feels really cool to not be able to see anything it's like being on top of Mt. Fuji.

Now about an eight minute walk and we're gonna arrive at Enryakuji Temple.

And when we get up there we're either gonna be doing some Zen meditation which I've never done before,

But I love doing good, so I kind of hope we get to do the calligraphy.  I haven't done that in a while,

it'd be nice to get some practice and get a little better.

There's Hiyoshi Taisha that we saw when we were walking up the street and the gate

This is the main building of Enryakuji and they're currently

repairing it, so it's under construction right now.

ju…jugo-oku (1.5 billion) so about 15 million dollars. They're spending on the

construction, so these are the kind of details that they'll be fixing,

repainting the paint that's come off. Oh wow! Here's before, and then after

it was restored.  We're gonna get a quick tour of the inside of the building,

that's not allowed to be filmed so you guys are gonna have to come here and experience it for yourself.

I really recommend coming to see it and see what I couldn't show it to you guys.

They have three lanterns inside.  Oil lamps, where the fire has been burning inside there for

1,200 years, without ever going out. I thought that was really cool!

About 400 years ago, this temple was destroyed and had to be rebuilt. But at that time,

they moved the fire to another place, and then brought it back when it was rebuilt.

It’s better to sway once before pulling back.

Wow! On a clear day, this is the view you would have of

So shoujin ryouri is the food that monks eat while they're training to be a monk.

So they have a vegan diet while they're training,

and we're gonna try that out today. See the kind of foods they're eating.

But apparently the shoujin ryouri that they're serving to visitors is a little different
