saku-sakuKyoto is great because there are so many excellent public baths where you can even use the sauna for the price of a public bath! They also have semi-open-air baths, and because the water is so good, the cold baths feel great too!

黑大壮的杰尼龟‌Introduction to Kyoto Daisen-in Temple‌: Kyoto Daisen-in Temple is a historic temple located in Daitoku-ji Temple in Kyoto, Japan. It was founded in 1509 by the 76th generation monk of Daitoku-ji Temple. It is the main temple of the Northern School, one of the four schools of Daitoku-ji Temple, and is also the highest-level "special" branch temple in the Daitoku-ji Temple. ‌Special Landscape‌: The most praised thing about Daisen-in Temple is its dry landscape garden, which is known as the representative garden of dry landscape together with Ryoan-ji Temple. The garden design is exquisite, and the Zen philosophy is abstractly expressed with elements such as rocks, white sand, and trees. Among them, "Mountain Waterfall" is a representative work of the early Edo period. The water flow symbolized by white sand cascades down from the stone platform, showing the unique beauty of dry landscape. ‌Historical Background‌: Daisen-in Temple not only has a unique courtyard design, but also has a profound historical background. It is said that the tea saint Sen no Rikyu once held a tea party for Toyotomi Hideyoshi here, and it was famous. In addition, Daisen-in Temple was once the place where Ikkyu Sojun (the prototype of "Ikkyu-kun") revived Buddhism and promoted the tea ceremony. ‌Visit information‌: As a well-known scenic spot in Kyoto, Daisen-in Temple attracts many tourists to visit. Visitors can appreciate the unique charm of dry landscape and feel the profound heritage of Zen culture here. However, it should be noted that the commercial atmosphere in Daisen-in Temple is relatively strong, and filming is prohibited. In general, Kyoto Daisen-in Temple is a temple that combines history, culture and aesthetics. It is a must-see attraction for both tourists who like history and culture and tourists who love garden art.

M31***20The boss lady likes this very much. The kissing scene in "The Boss Lady Still Has Charm" was a bit awkward in the afternoon. It was mainly because the boss lady was too into the role and too active. She must be awarded an Oscar for Best Actress.
