Alright, back with the field trip story last weekend! On the second day, we left the ryokan and then first we visited 報國寺 (Hokokuji - a temple's name, basically).
But I guess one attraction that you cannot miss here is the bamboo forest.
These bamboos are called Mousou bamboo, and they are the biggest species of bamboo. I forgot about the average heights of the bamboo; if I'm not mistaken my teacher told me it was around 40 m. Well, either 40, or 20. Either or, the bamboos are VERY TALL.
There are a lot of 竹の子 (takenoko - bamboo shoots) on the ground too :)
There's also a cave called Yagura, which is the tombs of the Ashikaga family.
We didn't spend a lot of time here because we still had to visit Tsurukagaoka Hachimangu, Hasadera and Daibutsu. And those are going to be in my next few posts!
