点评:On arrival at Tenri Station, we transferred to bus 61 from Bus depot 1 at 9:13. Journey is 8 mins and we alighted at Tenri University at 9:21am. We walked for about 11 mins to Isonokami Shrine for start of trail. At this Shrine, we had a wonderful time watching the antics of the chickens especially two proud cockerels who were crowing away. The beginning of the trail is shaded with a wooden fence on one side typical of a countryside path. There are many sign posts along the way to indicate this trail. Soon we passed a local residential area followed by farm lands. We saw many plum trees plantations. There are rest stops and some toilets along the way. We also stopped at Yatogi-jinja Shrine where the main hall has a thatched roof, which is quite unusual. We also passed an honesty shop where we could buy a box of fresh strawberries for 100 Yen and popsicles. There is a fairly large toilet near to the former Takenouchi Moated Village. After that we walked towards Little+cafe to have our lunch of coffee and hot chicken and avocado sandwiches. The interior of the cafe has a stylish atmosphere with sofa seats for 4 people, table seats for 2 people, a counter, and an American vintage interior. We took away our sandwiches to eat at JR Nagara Station while waiting for our train back to JR Nara Station. This station is unmanned but there is a ticket machine. There is also a huge detailed map at the Nagara station listing 8 interesting places to visit near the vicinity of the station. So another way to experience a sample walk of the Yamanobe-no-michi trail is to arrive at this station and follow the trail shown on the map and leave by this station too. We took 2.5 hrs to walk this trail from Tenri Station to Nagara Station. We enjoyed our walk because the scenery along the trail is different and the walk is easy along flat roads or paths except for one slope.
翻译:抵达天理站后,我们于9:13在1号巴士站换乘61路巴士。车程8分钟,9:21在天理大学下车。我们步行约11分钟到达石上神社,那里是步道的起点。在神社,我们度过了一段美好的时光,观看了鸡群的滑稽动作,尤其是两只骄傲的公鸡啼叫。步道的起点一侧有木栅栏遮蔽,这是典型的乡村小路。沿途有许多指示牌指示这条步道。不久,我们经过了一片当地居民区,随后是农田。我们看到了许多梅树种植园。沿途有休息站和一些厕所。我们还在八刀神社停留,那里的主殿是茅草屋顶,这很不寻常。我们还经过了一家诚信商店,在那里我们可以花100日元买到一箱新鲜草莓和冰棒。在原竹之内护城河村附近有一个相当大的厕所。之后我们步行前往Little+cafe享用午餐,有咖啡和热腾腾的炸鸡牛油果三明治。咖啡馆内部氛围时尚,设有四人沙发座、两人桌座、吧台,以及美式复古的室内装潢。我们打包了三明治,在JR长良站等火车返回奈良站时享用。长良站无人值守,但设有售票机。长良站还有一张巨大的详细地图,列出了车站附近八个值得一游的景点。因此,体验山边步道的另一种方式是到达这个站,然后沿着地图上的路线行走,最后也从这个站出发。我们从天理站走到长良站,一共花了2.5小时。我们很享受这次步行,因为沿途的风景各不相同,而且除了一处斜坡外,其他道路都很平坦。
