Arashiyama Sagano Romantic Train

avatar
Kirito_Young
We are going to Lushan in summer. The scenery is the lushness of ordinary summer. The open carriages will be very cool, but the diesel smell of the train is particularly heavy, and the experience is generally the same. There is plenty of time to play, and you must come in autumn; Not enough time to make a special trip.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple

Janwen
Kyomizu Temple, an ancient monastery hidden in the foothills of Kyoto, Japan, is like a hidden person who has come from the depths of the years, carrying a thousand years of historical frost, exudes a unique and charming charm. Step into the mountain gate of Qingshui Temple, the first thing that comes into view is the scarlet wooden structure building, under the light caressing of the sun, bright and dazzling, as if to tell the story of this millennium one by one. The ancient trees in the temple are towering, and the strong branches are intertwined, like a giant umbrella for this holy place, and the noise of the world is isolated. Moss spreads along the stone road, every step seems to step on the veins of history, soft and deep. Walk along the winding path and you can see the temple. The architectural style of the temple is unique, and the huge wooden platform that is suspended is like a miracle that grows from the cliff side. It is called the "Clear Water Stage". Standing on the stage, overlooking the railing, the scenery of Kyoto is panoramic. The mountains in the distance are rolling and rolling, and the clouds and mists are lingering during the rainy season, and the quaint houses are intriguing. In 24 years, I visited Qingshui Temple on a daily basis. The maple leaves were like fire, dyeing the entire mountain forest into a gorgeous red sea, and the Zhuhong buildings of the ancient temple were against each other, which was amazing.

Arashiyama

I would say this - it's a very popular place..) but I still come here every time and find something new for myself! Morning is the best time to visit.

Fushimi Inari Taisha

Nickolas C
My favorite site in all of Kyoto. The place is huge and the hike itself is more than 2 hours. There are lots and lots of torii. The place is popular but up there the more you go, the less busy it is.

Gion

avatar
Janwen
The Japanese attraction, the Gion, is Kyoto's largest geisha district and the most famous geisha "flower street" in modern Japan. The Edo Shogunate has a history of more than 300 years since 1665. A large number of traditional wooden buildings have been preserved. The style of riding in the 1930s is more than two floors. The houses on both sides of the street are more than two floors. The first floor is a shop. This time, I visited the Gion at about 4 pm and met the geisha on the small road. In view of the privacy, the Gion building is worth seeing.

Sannenzaka & Ninenzaka

The famous two-year-old scenic spot in the Dongshan District of Kyoto, Japan. The two-year-old scenic spot was built in the early 9th century and has a long history of more than 1,000 years. The antique two-year-old scenic spot attracted tourists from all over the world to watch the tour. There are many historical and cultural monuments and old shops here. Walking here, you can experience the unique ancient charm and historical atmosphere of Japan.

Kyoto Railway Museum

Suitable for walking the baby, just in Meixiao Road Park, the aquarium is going inside. It is divided into outdoor and indoor parts, and various models are displayed. It is indeed leading many domestic 😀 without an appointment for the steam train. There are many hands-on links in the indoor history, which is very child-friendly (≧w≦)

Yasaka-jinja Shrine

走遍天下XZ
Kyoto's Ohaka Shrine covers a large area. In a broad scale, it covers some small roads around branches and forks. There are many small shrines distributed, including large forests and lawns around, as well as many small restaurants, coffee shops and various snacks. Handicraft shops. Open 24 hours, another lively scene at night. This is not only a must-check-in place for tourists from all over the world, but also a place for local residents to take a leisure walk. At noon, there are a group of students, with lunch boxes on the grass, and noisy. The first time I came here was six years ago, and it didn't change at all, and I will definitely come again!

How to get to Kyoto from Tokyo?

The most economical, night bus, starting at night in the morning, but very tired. It seems to be around 7000. Basically, tourists use the Shinkansen, and you can see Mount Fuji on the road very clearly. It seems to be around 12,000.
