鎌倉の紅葉は12月初旬がピークと聞いたので、天気の良いうちに汚名挽回を期してもう一度獅子舞の谷に行った。これくらいの色づきが楽しめれば、文句は言えない。ポイントへは緩やかな登りを10分ちょっと行って勾配が少し急になったところだが、前回も今回も滑って尻もちという犠牲者がちらほら、足元は決して良くない。
次に覚園寺に足を伸ばす。こぢんまりとした境内が鮮やかな赤で飾られて、しばしベンチに腰掛けてそれを眺める人たちが多い。
As I learned that the peak for the autumn leaves in Kamakura was early December, I decided to get back to the valley while the weather was nice today. See the colors, and how can one complain with these? To the point where people watch the leaves is a little over 10 minutes’ walk of gentle slopes but it gets steeper just before getting there. Last time and this time too, the road was so muddy and slippery that I saw a few poor visitors fell on their buttocks.
After the Valley, I went to Kakuonji Temple which was close enough from Kamakura Shrine. The garden in their precincts was rather compact but flamboyant with red, and the visitors tended to sit on the bench and watch the garden for a while.
