Water lilies grow in water with round, floating leaves and large flowers. White water lilies symbolize peace, purity, pleasure and spiritual enlightenment.

スイレンは「水のユリ」と英語でも言うように、水の中で育つようです。たくさんの種類があるようですが、特に白いスイレンは平和、純粋、喜び、精神的悟りを象徴するらしいです。

A small well located within the garden, Kiyomasa’s Well (Kiyomasa no ido), is named after a military commander who dug it around 400 years ago. The well was visited by the Emperor and Empress while they were alive and has become a popular spiritual “power spot.” However, that is not the reason why this well became famous. The truth is that the site became famous after some TV programs featured it with people claiming that their luck improved when they used pictures of the well as background screens on their cellphones. I hope Nancy and Candice got the spiritual power, no matter what the truth is!

一番奥に、パワースポットとして有名になった「清正の井戸」があります。この井戸の写真をケイタイの待ち受けに使った人から、運気が上がったと言う報告が相次いだことをテレビで特集したのが、パワースポットとして有名になったと言う噂もあるようです。真実はどうあれ、二人もパワーをもらえたのではないでしょうか。

After making a visit to Meiji shrine, they were ready to head to the popular shopping district in Tokyo. They were shopping while walking leisurely along Takeshita Street and the back streets of Harajuku which are lined by many trendy shops, fashion boutiques, food stands and restaurants.

いよいよ、竹下通りでのショッピングが始まりました。アニメが好きなナンシーは、キャラクターグッズの店で興味津々、二人とも十分に買い物を楽しんだようでした。

Confections are part of the landscape and the sight of someone enjoying a succulent crepe as they stroll has long been a fixture along Takeshita street. So did they! After shopping, they enjoyed Teriyaki Chicken dinner at an Izakaya, Japanese style pub.

二人とも、定番のクレープを食べ歩きながら、袋いっぱいの買い物バッグを抱えて、すっかり竹下通りに溶け込んでいました！その後、居酒屋で焼き鳥を食べながら、みんなで東京の夜を楽しんだようです。
