Day 2 of the 8-day free trip to Japan: A detailed tour of Kiyomizu-dera, Fushimi Inari-taisha, and Kinkaku-ji in one day

Kyoto, light rain on the 22nd, departing from the hotel in Shinsaibashi at 7 am, taking the subway and transferring to Kiyomizu-dera. After arriving, walk to purchase tickets and enjoy the temple, then step outside to admire the surrounding alleyways of the scenic area. Next, transfer by subway to Fushimi Inari-taisha for a visit, which is free. It started to rain, and I slowly made my way up to the peak at an altitude of 233 meters to pray for blessings. On the way down, I stopped by a roadside tea shop to have green tea and snacks for 40 yen, also taking the opportunity to dry my raincoat. The tea and snacks were very good. At 12 pm, I descended and then took the subway to Kinkaku-ji, followed by a transfer to bus 205 for 4 stops, paying 230 yen in cash for the bus fare, and then walked 700 meters from the Kinkaku-ji-michi bus stop to visit Kinkaku-ji. The temple is not very large, and I took a circular tour to take photos, watch swans, and enjoy snacks along the way, as well as to pray for blessings. I took bus 205 back the same way, and then the subway to Osaka JR station, which is directly connected to a large shopping mall with 9 floors. After shopping for 2 hours, I spent 15,800 yen on a pair of leather shoes and returned to the hotel in Shinsaibashi, and at 7 pm, I went out to explore the night market.
