古都京都の世界文化遺産・東寺 / To Ji - Kyoto World Cultural Heritage

京都にはたくさん五重塔があります。例えば：八坂塔とか、醍醐寺の五重塔とか、仁和寺の五重塔とか。。。様々な五重塔があります。しかし、一番有名のは「東寺」の五重塔です。
A lot of Pagodas was built in the City of Kyoto. For example, Yasaka Pagoda situated in Higashi Yama, there's a Pagoda in temples like Daigo Ji and Ninna Ji... etc. However, the most famous Pagoda in Kyoto should be the Pagoda situated within the compound of 'To Ji'.

以下は「東寺」の境内の写真：
The following are photos taken in 'To Ji':

この五重塔は「東寺」に一番有名の建築物です。どうしてですか？ 実は、その塔の高さは約55メートル、木造の建築物としては日本一の高さを誇ります。 （へへ、僕は「東寺」の五重塔の初層内部は入ったことがありましたよ。 壮大なビューがありますよ。しかし、境内は撮影禁止です。。。ほんまに残念しました。） The Pagoda was probably the most famous structure that was built in 'To Ji'. Why do I say so? This is because the Pagoda itself was 55 metres in height and at the same time was currently holding the position of being the highest architecture built by wood within Japan. (Whahahaha.... I managed to step into the Pagoda during my visit to 'To Ji' back then. The view within the Pagoda was spectacular. However, I was pretty disappointed that photo taking wasn't allowed inside.)

不二桜 僕は来た時、桜はまだ咲きました。 しかし、そんなに大きい桜樹は桜が咲くとき、絶対に美しくなります。 'Fu Ni Sakura' When I was making my way to 'To Ji', the Sakura flower haven't started blooming. However, looking at the size of the Sakura tree, the sight will definitely be a magnificent one when the flowers started blooming.

	毎月の21日「東寺」で「弘法市」が行われています。 「弘法市」にはたいていの店の営業時間は午前８時ごろから、 午後４時頃までです。境内には、品物とか、服とか、骨董とか、陶磁とか、食べ物とか。。。約700店が並びます。 値段交渉可能な店も多いです。珍しいし、面白いですね。
During the 21st of every month, a flea market known as 'Gu Ho Shi' will be held within the compound of 'To Ji'. Most of the stalls will operate from 8am in the morning to 4pm in the afternoon. There are more than 700 stalls within 'Gu Ho Shi'. Things that you can buy here includes items like daily accessories, clothings, antiques, lacquerware, food... etc. The chances of asking and bargaining/getting an item at a lower price at this flea market was pretty high also. Doesn't it sounds interesting?
