Torii

Torii is a Japanese term for the word gate. The existence of a torii at the entrance is usually the simplest way to identify Shinto shrines in the traditional Japanese culture. The torii often painted bright red or orange.

Hachiko

At Sachiko's Little Kyoto, you'll see a dog statue and it's name is Hachikō. He was a Japanese Akita dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, for whom he continued to wait for the return of his deceased owner for more than nine years. He would wait at Shibuya station to wait for his owner's return until his last breath. Indeed, this dog is truly an example of loyalty and fidelity.

The existence of the Lucky Cat is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. That is why in Japanese and Chinese stores you'll see this figurine. The Japanese call this the maneki-neko.

Beside the Lucky Cat, you'll see 2 giant Daruma Dolls. We saw a Japanese Horror movie before and the killer in the movie was a doll so we were a bit nervous upon seeing the giant Daruma dolls because we remembered the movie and the scary face of the doll as well. The Daruma is a traditional Japanese doll, which in Japan has become a symbol of perseverance and luck.

Cafe Nara

In Japan, a city called Nara is a well-known place for great Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. There is a park where deers can be seen roaming around freely. In Sachiko's little Kyoto, you can see lighted man-made deer statues. According to my Japanese student before that these deers are so respectful. They were trained to bow as a sign of respect to the tourist whom visited them.

Kyoto Treats

This area is located right beside Cafe Nara where you can order Japanese food. They have a menu where you can choose and order your favorite Japanese food. You can also see a lot of red Japanese lanterns and lamp posts around.

As you walk up the stairways, you'll find numerous booths offering popular Japanese food like teriyaki, yakitori, okonomiyaki, tempura, and more.

Next to the Geisha Gallery is a reclining Buddha. It represents the historical Buddha during his last illness. He is lying on his right side relying on his right elbow while supporting his head with his hand.

Aside from the instagram-worthy picture of the lying buddha, you'll also see the dramatic landscape of magnificent mountains in front of the lying Budhha.
