Student Lounge "KI-ZU-NA" October Event "Daimonji Mountain & Ginkaku-ji Temple Hiking"

October 24, 2009

'KI-ZU-NA's October event was 'Daimonji Mountain & Ginkaku-ji Temple Hiking'. First, the participants wandered through the Philosopher's Walk near Kyoto University, and then climbed Daimonji Mountain. Daimonji Mountain is well known for "Gozan no Okuribi", one of the biggest traditional summer events in Japan. Although climbing up the mountain was hard, all participants were enjoying and chatting with their new friends.　Reaching the top of the mountain, all participants where impressed by the view there. After going down the mountain, we visited 'Ginkaku-ji Temple'(Temple of the Silver Pavilion) and had the chance to learn about Japanese culture. All the participants enjoyed interacting with their new friends.
