Weekend in Jindaiji

I spent my last Saturday going to Jindaiji. It was really great to be there when the leaves on the trees are colorful and starting to fall down which make me feel that the season is now autumn. I ate Soba at one of the shops there, and while I waited, I read the starting line of Basho's "Okunohosomichi". When I finished eating, I went out of the shop and went for a walk to where all the temples are, walking along the old fashioned street, the main feature of Jindaiji. I went up the stares of the street and entered a botanical park there. It cost me 500 yen. I thought it was a bit expensive for me to pay, but it was actually really nice being there with so many kinds of plants and trees in one of the best seasons in the year. I breathed the clean air, pondered on many thoughts as I walked, ate some ice cream, and out of all, I really enjoyed the nature. In the end, I thought it was worth the price. I went out of the park, and got some baked sweet potato and went home. It was a great way to spend my weekend.
