📍Kyoto, Japan 🇯🇵

From Osaka, we continued our journey to the former capital of Japan, Kyoto.

There, we visited the Chion-In Temple

and walked from there through the beautiful geisha district and Maruyama Park to the Kiyomizu-dera Temple. 🏯

On the way, we had the chance to watch many Japanese people taking beautiful photos in kimonos, traditional Japanese clothing. 👘

We also had a great time visiting the Fushimi Inari Shrine, a Shinto shrine, with its countless traditional gates. ⛩️

We had a nice and leisurely walk along the Philosopher's Path from the Nanzen-ji Temple to the Ginkaku-ji Temple. 🥾

Finally, we visited the bamboo grove of Arashiyama, just outside the city. Thanks to the pouring rain, we had it almost to ourselves. 🌧️

Tips:

- Fushimi Inari Shrine: The lower area is very touristy, but the higher you go, the quieter and more beautiful the path becomes.

- Pizza Salvatore: Delicious lunch buffet right by the water.
