Shirakaw District by Abdullah Ashari Via Flickr: Kyoto's most famous Geisha District, filled with shops, restaurants and teahouses, where geisha and geiko entertain their guests. Shirakawa District is my personal favorite as it's a little off the beaten path and less crowded than the main Hanamikoji street.

BEST TEA INFUSER THAT LOOKS ELEGANT

  The best in tea brewing infusers process is fairly straightforward, therefore it simply wouldn’t be to expect that some extremely innovative means to fix roll along. I am talking about, why screw up a great factor? That being stated, this can be a best example of excellent design it is not trying to reinvent the wheel. Rather, it’s just planning to function and performance well (and possibly look great while doing the work). If you value getting out of bed each morning having a fresh bag then you definitely certainly require the best tea infuser for brewing an ideal bag. The tea infuser is really a device which is often used for that steeping from the loose tea leaves in to the hot boiling water or milk. The tea infuser is perforated so that the loose tea leaves don't spill when you are brewing and to be able to have a perfect cup of aromatic tea. The tea infuser is synonyms to some tea bag that is dipped in to the hot boiling water or hot milk for that brewing process. Known as ‘CUTEA,’ the set includes a metal tea infuser, matte ceramic saucer, and matching ceramic saucer. The wide-mouthed infuser nests superbly within each ceramic piece. After brewing, simply pull the chain and drop it within the saucer to make sure excess water is contained rather of dripping on your counter or tabletop. If you want the taste of loose leaf tea over traditional tea bags, a tea infuser is what you want. The very best tea infusers minimize mess and simplify the tea-making process overall, while supplying scrumptious tea. There are many options, including brewing baskets, ball tea infusers, travel mugs with infusers, and teapots with the units. The bigger the basket or filter, the greater space there's for correctly brewing tea. Some consumers may prefer ball tea lobes due to their compact design, however their smaller sized size can mean a less flavorful bag. If you are looking for a teapot by having an infuser, search for one with glass that’s thick enough to deal with hotter water temperatures.   Read the full article

Me, myself and I in a photoshoot in #Kyoto #Japan as a #Geisha in Gion #GeishaDistrict . It took hours for the professional to make me look like this. I had my face painted including neck and nape (back of my neck) with the traditional cold white foundation. It was an experience that I will never forget. . #insta #instapic #tour #tourist #happy #PicOfTheDay #magnificientShot #Sexy #holiday #MyStory #WorldTour #vacaciones #holidayporn #OnTheRoad #HappyMoments #love #enjoy #family #fun #vacation #shopping #life #healthy #dream #igersspain #igersBilbao #igers #DreamVacation #fashion https://www.instagram.com/p/BwSB_QhgpPv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fgc9ub9u0cqb

Fun Under The Rising Sun: Kyoto

Story and Photos by Taylor Banks from Japan

I thought that writing these blog posts would be easy, but given all of the new things that I experience in Japan daily, I realize that there is simply too much to write and too little time.

It’s fascinating that I would say “too little time” when I have been here since March, but it remains true. Japan may be only a little over half the size of my home state of Texas, but there is so much to see and do.

To think that this is coming from someone who has over four months to explore Japan! You guys probably won’t have much more than a week in Japan if you do decide to come visit, and so I figured that I’d save us both time and tell you about the places that I have been, and that you absolutely MUST SEE!

Let’s talk about Kyoto!

You have never truly seen Japan until you have seen the old capital of Kyoto. In places like Tokyo and Osaka, the architecture and scenery is so modernized that you can hardly tell that you are in Japan half of the time, but Kyoto simply has traditional Japan written all over it!

I only got to spend a little less than a day in Kyoto with my aunt, but I still managed to visit a lot of amazing sites!

The Kinkaku-Ji (Golden Pavilion|金閣寺) or officially named Rokuon-Ji(Deer Garden|鹿苑寺) Temple is a holy place that holds relics of the Buddha. Its architecture reflects that of the Muromachi Period (1336-1573). Did I mention that the temple shines like gold? It is breathtakingly beautiful, and in 1994 it was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site.

The Sanjusangen-do(三十三間堂) Temple or officially known as Rengeo-in Temple is registered as a National Treasure by the Japanese government, and anyone who has seen it could attest to why. For one, it has been standing unchanged for 700 years, and it would have been standing for a hundred or so longer had it not been lost in a fire.

The second thing that makes this site so amazing is that it has 1,001 statues of the Buddhist deity, and every single statue is said to be a little different. Despite the fact that the newest statues inside of the temple were made in the 13th century, the figures look brand new and incredibly realistic. The stares of the guardian deities as you walk through are convincing enough that it may send a shiver of fear down your spine.

The Kiyomizu-dera(清水寺) Temple (The Pure Water Temple) is easily the largest and most impressive temple that I have seen in Japan so far! It is a signature World Heritage Site in Kyoto, and it has a history dating back more than 1,200 years! If you see nothing else in Kyoto, you MUST see this temple!

The Geisha Quarters! It’s pretty much self-explanatory isn’t it? There are four Geisha Districts in Kyoto. I got to take pictures around the area, and it looks like I wasn’t the only one. Several Japanese couples took wedding pictures there in kimonos. The traditional garb definitely matched the traditional scenery in Kyoto!
