京都・建仁寺と大原へのバス旅行２ (Bus Trip to Ken'nin Temple and Ōhara, Kyoto -2-)

　バスは建仁寺から大原の里へ向う。駐車場で下車して約10分歩き、昼食会場の築130年の古民家「わっぱ堂」へ着く。以下、写真とその説明で紹介する。

After the visit to Ken'nin-ji, our bus moved toward Ōhara Basin. Walking about 10 minutes from the parking lot in Ōhara, we got to the lunch venue, "Wappa-dō," which consisted of a 130-year old house. Further explanation of the trip is again given below by the use of photos and captions to them.

「わっぱ堂」の庭。この和風レストランでは、主人が自然農法で野菜を、夫人が天然酵母パンを作り、夫婦で有機野菜をメインにしたコース料理を出す。2時間かけて、
いろいろな夏野菜料理を味わった。
The garden of "Wappa-dō." In this Japanese restaurant, the owner makes vegetables by natural farming, his wife makes breads by natural yeast, and the couple cook a course of meal, in which vegetables produced by organic farming are mainly used.
We enjoyed a variety of summer vegetables over two hours.

昼食後、さらに約10分歩き、寂光院を訪れる。寂光院は天台宗の寺院で、創立者は聖徳太子と伝えられている。平清盛の娘・建礼門院（平徳子）が、平家滅亡後に隠棲した所
であり、『平家物語』ゆかりの寺として知られる。写真は寂光院の石段参道。
After lunch, we walked about 10 minutes more to visit Jakkō-in. Jakkō-in is a temple of the Tendai sect, and Shōtoku-taisi is said to have been the founder. Here, Empress Dowager Kenrei (Taira no Tokuko), a daughter of Taira no Kiyomori,
lived a secluded life after the fall of the Heike, so that this temple
is known as the one related to the epic work of The Tale
of the Heike. The photo above shows the
stone-step approach to Jakkō-in.
