Takisaka-no-michi 滝坂の道

I left Todaiji, I went to Kasugataisha, then I headed to Takisaka-no-michi. It’s a part of Yagyu-kaido that people used to use as a shortcut between Nara and Yagyu in old times.
I expected there were lots of hikers because that day was the middle of “Golden Week”. But I met less than 30 people.
I was alone almost all the time. I felt something mysterious and spiritual.
I walked up the path paved with stones along a stream. I could see lots of small waterfalls and cascades. They were so beautiful.

東大寺から春日大社を経由して、滝坂の道へお散歩。
平日とはいえ、ゴールデンウィーク中だったので、ハイカーが多いのかと思ったけど、ひっそり。
自然との対話を楽しみました。
小川沿いのお散歩道なので、小さな滝がたくさん。
時々、石仏さまのお迎えがあり。

I kept on walking to Enjo-ji, then I came back to the city by bus.
