📍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.
