Today, we went to the Hikone Castle around JCMU, it's a beautiful
place, however I was a little disappoint about it. Because expect
the wooden building, there is nothing inside, I thought there would be more old
stuff inside. However, the windy is nice on the top floor of the castle. By the
way, the museum is closed today because of the renewing some part of it. This is
sad that I did not learn more about the castle. And compare with the castle
stuff in China or EU, they would have a lot of history stuff in the castle to
show people what this looks like and how people live in the castle. However, in
the Hikone Castle, I did not see a lot of history stuff that I am interested
in, although the castle is beautiful.
After the castle, we went to the traditional Japanese tea
ceremony. This is a nice experience for me, and it's the first time for me to
attend this kind of tea ceremony. The most impressive thing is we have to do “bow”
a lot. This is also the first time I drink a traditional Japanese green tea, it's
tasted great and I like it. However, the tea ceremony process is really
different from the process for Chinese tea. And the tea temperature really
scared me, it was so hot and it's much hotter than the Chinese traditional tea I
tried before. In Japanese tea ceremony, each time we got our tea, we should say
thank you to the person serve us the tea and do a “bow” for that and later say I
will drink before you to the person next me and say to the person who already
have the tea that I will join you now, for both we should do a “bow”.
All those experience is great and I really enjoy the time in city
Hikone which for me is like a traditional Japanese countryside.
