Fifth Post - Japan, sannenzaka

I would like to introduce the fifth travel is close and far away

country Japan.

 ( close as  geographically but  people mind between two country  have a gap)

In fact, when my older brother live in Japan, I have been to Japan. But I did not travel to many places. Because, it is not that the trip went.

Many cities in Japan, Kyoto is the best place where I want to go.

Because, Kyoto, the Japanese tradition and culture has remained intact over the city. So, easily accessible exotic and unusual landscapes.

In Kyoto, where I most want to visit place is sannenzaka(さんねんざか) street.

Here, zaka the word means hill in Korea.

sannenzaka(さんねんざか)'s the original name is sanneizaka, it means the hill to pray for the safe delivery and well-being of maternal.

However, there is a scary legend. Here fall die within three years or the life of three years will be reduced. So, it is called sannenzaka.(in korea, 삼년 고개)

These stories, which was built to raise awareness in general. Because, the sannenzaka's stairs is long, steep and stone stairs are slippery and dangerous.

When it comes to the Kyoto, you should eat yatsuhasi(야츠하시)(triangle glutinous rice cake)

Ingredients of this yatsuhasi is the rice flour, sugar, cinnamon powder.

yatsuhasi is made into two types: one is transparent and soft baked and the other is hard baked.

While investigating the Kyoto, I felt that Japan is the country we do not like at all historically. But, It can not be denied the fact that Kyoto is beautiful place in that retains the tradition and culture.

Fourth Post - Italy, Positano

The fourth place that I want to go is Positano of Italy.
There are many famous sights in Italy(such as Firenze, rome and pisa etc), but especially the beautiful views of Positano captivated me.

Ride the bus from Sorrento, It takes about 50minutes to the east.
(At this time, good to the other side of the driver seat because it is good for sightseeing!)

Entered the packed houses on the slopes of the mountainous coastal sea, you will meet a beautiful town.

On the brink of closely packed colorful charming house is so pretty here is a place frequented by the world famous photographer.

Especially, Amalfi Coast is world's seven scenery selected by National Geographic.
Also, Positano is  known for the place that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt left for a honeymoon trip.
Positano is the climate of the southern Mediterranean.
The town's main product is a lemon. So lemon fragrance, lemon soap, lemon shampoo is a major shopping items. And drinking

Maybe positano might be the ultimate destination of people are going to travel in southern italy?

The city near the beach have different characteristic and beautiful. Among them, Positano is the most beautiful and people and nature in harmony.

Third Post - Spain, Segovia

Madrid is the capital city of Spain. For Koreans, Segovia is better known as neighboring towns of madrid.

History of Segovia was much longer than we thought. Seemed to prove it, you can find traces of the Romans throughout. Among them, one of the top attractions in Segovia is a Roman aqueduct. and another thing is Alcazar. The thing is that I would like to introduce.

The well-known as Snow White's castle Alcazar. the meaning of the Alcazar is spanish architecture, was built in the 14-15century.

The castle was built on top of a hill overlooking the west Rio Eresma river and the Rio Clamores river.

Early, Walt Disney infatuation to the beauty of the castle, Alcazar is fomous for being stage of the fairy tale Snow White.

Since AlfonsoVI built the castle, reconstruction led by the kings lived in the city for centuries.

The front of the square tower inside the castle has been used as a prison in the 16th century, medieval weapons, furniture, paintings, etc. are exhibited.

Cuesta de los Hoyos is good to enjoy the beautiful appearance of the castle.

The scenery and the feeling of walking along the Alcazar castle seems to be too good. I want to receive Snow White feeling to stand in the Alcazar. Face, but not the same:)
