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.
