The team responsible for developing the Zelda series is considered an extremely important development team in the entire Nintendo.
The person in charge of the third development team is Eiji Aonuma. Friends who are familiar with the Zelda series should know this name.
Starting with "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time", the entire Zelda series has been under the full charge of Eiji Aonuma, and it has been more than 20 years now.
Perhaps The Legend of Zelda is not Nintendo’s best-selling IP, but the significance of this IP to Nintendo is self-evident.
It can be said that the entire Legend of Zelda series can be said to be an important cornerstone of Nintendo's dominance in the world.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, and followed the team leader into the second floor with a feeling of reverence.
Chapter 2464 Lanshan
"I didn't expect Mr. Aonuma Eiji would come out to take pictures with us on the golf course. It was like a dream!"
"So I'm not the only one who thinks I'm dreaming?"
"Don't young gamers dream about producer seniors?"
"It's just a pity. It would have been better if we took the photo under the huge Zelda scroll in the headquarters."
"Just be content. If the administrative headquarters doesn't allow you to take photos, how can the development headquarters allow you to take photos?"
"I know, it's just a pity."
"It's a pity that the exhibition hall has not been repaired yet. Otherwise, we would be able to visit the exhibition hall this time."
"As for the exhibition hall, I'll have a chance to visit it in the future. After all, it's open to the public for exhibitions, unlike the headquarters this time, which is usually not open to the public for exhibitions."
"That's right. As for the exhibition hall, we can come and visit it after it's repaired."
"By the way, what series of patterns did the commemorative flower cards you received have?"
"I opened a Pokémon Red Commemorative Flower Note."
"Here is a commemorative flower note for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild."
“Is there any difference between the Breath of the Wild Commemorative Hanafuda and the Kingdom Tears Commemorative Hanafuda?”
"It feels like the types of cards are a little different. Breath of the Wild has the Four Sacred Beasts, and Tears of the Kingdom has special cards like the White Dragon."
After visiting the development headquarters, the other students were discussing enthusiastically what they saw and heard during the visit, as well as the commemorative gifts given to everyone by the group leader after the visit.
On the other side, Tsuchiya's eyes were a little dazed and she couldn't help but yawn.
……
"What's wrong? You look listless?"
The rest of the students left one by one, and Yushan Kazuto and his group got on the train to the next optional item. Seeing that Doma Mai still looked listless, Yushan Kazuto spoke.
"Ah? No?" Upon hearing this, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but speak.
However, just as he finished speaking, Doma Maibe saw several pairs of eyes cast on him. Ever since the tour was over, he had been looking listless.
"It's just that I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm a little sleepy now." Looking at everyone, Tsuchima Mai knew that she couldn't fool people anymore, so she said angrily.
"Didn't you get enough rest last night?" Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly.
He still remembered that last night, Domama sent him a message saying that she couldn't sleep.
Originally, Yushan Kazuto thought that it was just an excuse made by Doma Mai. When he saw Doma Mai yawning at noon, Yushan Kazuto also thought that she was just sleepy after eating. But now it seems that is not the case.
"A little bit." Tsuchima blinked and said.
In fact, when visiting the development headquarters just now, Doma Mai felt a little sleepy.
It was just the excitement in her heart that supported Doma Yui to complete the entire tour of the headquarters.
But after the tour, Doma Yui lost her support and fatigue took over again.
"Then let's rest in the car for a while. It should take another twenty minutes to get to Arashiyama now." Kato Megumi said.
Hearing this, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but look at Kato Megumi, nodded, then closed her eyes and rested.
Yushan and the others couldn't help but look at each other and exchanged glances. Then they lowered their heads and began to open their commemorative flower cards.
……
Arashiyama is probably the most famous natural scenic spot in Kyoto.
The cherry blossoms in spring and the maple leaves in autumn in Arashiyama are both so beautiful that they make you intoxicated.
In the past, when Kyoto was still called Heian-kyo, the princes and nobles would go boating on the Oie River during the cherry blossom or maple season to enjoy the scenery of Arashiyama.
In fact, it is similar now. For example, the Shinomiya family’s main residence in Kyoto is actually near Arashiyama.
Every April and November, the Shinomiya family holds a Guanlan Banquet, inviting guests to the Shinomiya residence to view the late cherry blossoms and red maples from afar.
It's a pity that none of these views were available in early October.
But there is no way, since Toyonosaki's school trip is scheduled at this time.
Moreover, even if it is not the cherry blossom or maple viewing season, Arashiyama is still worth a visit.
Moreover, for Yushan and others, coming to Arashiyama at this time might be a better experience.
During the cherry blossom and maple leaf viewing season, the entire Arashiyama is packed with people.
Unlike now, there are few tourists and it is much more relaxing.
From the fact that out of the six or seven hundred students in two grades of Toyonosaki, only less than thirty students chose Arashiyama as their optional project, it can be seen that there are indeed not too many people who come to visit Arashiyama during the non-viewing period.
Among these less than thirty students, many were influenced by Yushan Kazuto in their choice.
If this part is removed, there may be less than 20 students willing to visit Arashiyama in early October.
After entering the Arashiyama Scenic Area, Yushan Heren did not go to the Oyan River first, but instead came to the bamboo forest path.
Kazuto Hayama has visited Arashiyama Scenic Area many times. Hoshinoya Kyoto is actually also within the scope of Arashiyama Scenic Area. Hoshinoya Kyoto can be reached by rafting on the Oi River. Kazuto Hayama has stayed there several times.
Whether it is the cherry blossoms in autumn or the maple leaves in autumn, Yushan Kazuto has seen them all.
However, Yushanheren thinks that the most unique feature of Arashiyama Scenic Area is
It is the Sagano Bamboo Forest that can be enjoyed all year round.
The Sagano Bamboo Forest, also known as the Moon-Sifting Forest, probably got its name because the moonlight at night passes through the bamboo forest, like being sifted through a sieve, turning into tiny bits of silver.
However, some people say that the name Shayuelin is very poetic, but Yushan Heren disagrees. He can only say that this name perfectly describes the scenery of the bamboo forest at night.
We arrived at Arashiyama at 4:30 in the afternoon. The sunlight had weakened a little, but it was still bright.
But after walking into the bamboo forest path, the entire light seemed to dim a lot in an instant.
The density of bamboo in the Sagano Bamboo Forest is indeed astonishingly large, otherwise, the name "Shaiyuelin" would not have appeared, right?
Surrounding the bamboo forest path is a row of "walls" made of bamboo branches. Perhaps it is to protect the Sagano Bamboo Forest, or perhaps they don't want the Sagano Bamboo Forest to become like the Aokigahara Sea of Trees. In any case, the bamboo forest is enclosed.
From a distance, it looks like a "wall" made of straw mats, but when you get closer, you realize that it is actually bamboo branches.
Walking on the path in the bamboo forest, the air is exceptionally fresh. Taking a deep breath, you can even smell the fragrance of bamboo.
When the wind blows, you can hear the rustling sound of bamboo leaves, but it does not make people feel noisy. Instead, it makes people feel very comfortable listening to it.
Even Domama, who seemed a little listless at first, seemed to be revived after entering the bamboo forest.
Chapter 2465: "Arashiyama in the Rain" and the Origin of Saga
The deeper you go into the bamboo forest path, the more quiet the environment seems, and you can't help but feel a bit leisurely.
However, this is based on the premise that you are traveling with multiple people. If you travel alone, this secluded environment will inevitably make you feel a little nervous.
Every summer, the Sagano Bamboo Forest is a sacred place for courage tests. At night, it takes a certain amount of courage to walk into the deep bamboo forest paths alone.
However, the courage test in the Sagano Bamboo Forest can only be held late at night. The main reason is that this attraction is too famous, just like the Thousand Torii Gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, there are still many tourists even at night.
Even though it is not the season for cherry blossom and maple leaf viewing, there are still many tourists visiting Arashiyama. It’s just that compared to the popular time period, it is deserted at this time.
There are many famous shrines and temples around the bamboo forest trail, such as Nonomiya Shrine and Tenryuji Temple, which are very popular tourist attractions.
However, Yushan and his friends had already been touring temples for almost a whole day today, and they were really tired of it, so they chose not to go.
The bamboo forest path is not long, only about 500 meters in total. After walking out of the bamboo forest path, everyone still feels a little unsatisfied. After all, this kind of leisurely feeling is not common.
However, since they had already walked out of the bamboo forest path, they didn't plan to turn back and walk it again.
At the end of the trail is a T-junction.
Go left and you will reach the road leading to Arashiyama Observation Deck.
Although they needed to climb a mountain, after a quick observation, everyone seemed quite enthusiastic, so Yushan and others didn't say much and walked towards the trail leading to the observation deck.
……
"I visited Arashiyama for the second time in the rain... I occasionally saw a glimpse of light in the blur, which made me feel even more beautiful."
Passing by Kameda Park, everyone saw Yushan Kazuto muttering to a stone tablet in Chinese, which aroused their curiosity.
"Waruto, what poem are you reciting?" Fujinomiya Ningzi asked from the side.
"'Arashiyama in the Rain'." said Yushan Kazuto.
"It's not raining now." Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but say.
"It's the poem on the monument just now!" Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren rolled his eyes and said.
"So that stone just now was a monument? I thought it was a landscape stone." Upon hearing this, Domama couldn't help but blink and said.
Listening to what Tsuchima Yui said, Hayama Kazuto could only shrug his shoulders.
Because it was not finely carved and the words were engraved on a whole oval saddle stone, if you didn't look closely, the monument would look like a landscape stone.
"But I remember that the words on the monument seemed to be a little different from what you read, Kazuto-senpai."
Recalling the monument she had just seen, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but say.
Although she didn't look closely, Yuuki Asuna remembered that there were many words "Kyoto" on the monument.
Yuuki Asuna also learned Chinese, and Yuyama Kazuto didn't say "Kyoto" once just now, which made her feel a little strange.
"What you are looking at is the back of the monument, which records the list of the monument's initiators. What I am reading is the poem on the front. Of course, they are different." Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
Listening to Yushan Kazuto's words, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but blink slightly.
Asuna Yuuki can even understand the poems that Kazuto Hayama recites in Chinese, but as for Umi Doma, her understanding of Chinese is limited to the most basic expressions like "hello".
"Why does senior Kazuto want to recite poetry in Chinese?" After thinking about it, Tsuchima couldn't help but blink and said.
"Because that poem was written by a great Chinese man!" Yushan Heren said.
"Great Chinese man? Bai Juyi?" Tsuchimai couldn't help but blurt out.
Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but grin. It must be said that the Japanese still have a deep obsession with Bai Juyi.
From ancient times to the present, countless Japanese have admired Bai Juyi's poems.
Among them was Emperor Saga, who named Sagano.
Yushan Heren also admitted that Bai Juyi could be regarded as a great poet of his generation, but he would not be called a great man.
However, when thinking of Emperor Saga, Hayama Kazuto recalled some very interesting historical stories.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Do you know where the name Sagano comes from?" Yushan Kazuto said.
"Sagano? Is it related to the death of Emperor Saga?" Before the others could react, Touma Sanae had already spoken.
When people thought of Emperor Saga's name, they couldn't help but be a little surprised. They hadn't noticed before that there was another emperor whose name was so close to Saga's.
However, these surprised people do not include Rikka Takanashi. She is still wondering, is there a person named Emperor Saga in history?
"It is indeed related to Emperor Saga. The name Sagano was given by Emperor Saga." Yushan Heren said.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but blink slightly, but after thinking about it, they felt that something was not right.
After all, the name of Emperor Saga is a posthumous title rather than an era name, and the era name during his reign was Kōnin.
It would make sense if later generations named this area Sagano in memory of Emperor Saga, but Kazuto Hayama said that the name Sagano was given by Emperor Saga himself.
Seeing everyone lost in thought, Yushan Heren couldn't help but smile.
During the reign of Emperor Saga, the Tang envoy system was in place.
The most prosperous period.
