In contrast to the fisherman in the previous photo, some people prefer to do things the easy way. This is one of the popular artificial ponds stocked with fish at which people can enjoy fishing without the hassles of actually having to look for a good spot - and actually having to face the possibility of not catching anything.

An enclosed area with what looks to be tea being cultivated, with some nice blossoms in the foreground (as I recall, this spot is actually a bit further ahead on the route, near the long wooden bridge). The area south of Kyoto, particularly around Uji, is famous for top-quality tea - in fact, the city's name is synonymous with top quality green tea. You can even get green tea flavored ice cream at the shops in central Uji - highly recommended.
