Glimpses From Nonomiya...

Setting out from Arashiyama, we headed towards Nonomiya to catch a bus to take us further to discover the magical secrets of Kyoto...


I hate Mondays too...


Passing by the Nonomiya shrine...


Nonomiya is a Shinto shrine, the ancient religion of Japan...


You've got to perform the Temizu - the act of cleansing oneself with water before entering the shrine...


We decided to give Nonomiya a pass as we have a packed day ahead...



Watching devotees outside the Nonomiya shrine...


A cemetery near the Nonomiya shrine...


Passing through another thicket of bamboos on our way out...


I dare say I found kimonos the most graceful dress after the very Indian sari...



There is an inexplicable beauty associated with bamboos...





The stone-pathway...


And we leave our footprints behind...


Rustic charms of the area...


A drainage cover...



Stopping by at the main road for a quick lunch...


Hot spicy soba noodles with mackerel...


Vegetarian soba noodles...
