Kyoto and Nara One-Day Tour CityWalk Complete Guide

🇯🇵Kyoto and Nara One-Day Tour🚗CityWalk Complete Guide👣 🌸Early in the morning, we set out from Osaka, driving towards Kyoto.🚗 The scenery along the way was picturesque, and after about an hour, we arrived at this ancient capital.🏞️ 🏯Our first stop was Kiyomizu-dera. This World Heritage Site and the matchmaking shrine of Japan made us feel the weight of history and the splendor of culture.🌼 Although there were no maple leaves to embellish the scene, it was still stunningly beautiful. Tickets can be purchased at the entrance; remember to bring cash for the amulets!🙏 🛍️Next, we visited Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka. These streets resembled the ancient streets in our country, with a dazzling array of trinkets and delicacies.🍡 The old machiya houses retained their traditional charm. If you're a fan of Hayao Miyazaki, don't forget to check out the Acorn Republic on Ninenzaka!🌰 🏞️Ishibei-koji is a relatively lesser-known street, but it's filled with a mysterious and quiet sense of history.🛶 The surrounding private homes and high-end restaurants give off a sense of exclusivity and luxury. Although there's a no-photography sign at the entrance, this place is definitely a great spot for a citywalk!🚶‍♀️ 🌸Gion's Hanami-koji was the filming location for 'Memoirs of a Geisha'.🎬 Geisha teachers still train here to this day. During cherry blossom season, we even encountered a few geishas walking with paper umbrellas, which was incredibly lucky!🌸 ⛩️Yasaka Shrine is a great spot to visit without needing a ticket.🌈 We got our desired health amulets here, which made us so happy!🙆 🦉The Senbon Torii gates at Fushimi Inari Taisha are not to be missed.🌏 Stepping into this place is like entering another world. The 'Senbon Torii' path is really photogenic, and we had a blast taking pictures!📸 We heard there's a New Year's wish festival in January, and we must come back next time!🎉 🦌Finally, we arrived at Nara Park.🍪 We bought a pack of deer crackers and fed the adorable deer. Meeting a bowing deer was just too cute! However, be careful of the deer with 'Under Investigation' signs; they can be a bit temperamental!😅 🚗After the one-day tour, we chose to take a chartered car back to Osaka.💨 This mode of transportation is both convenient and comfortable, perfect for travel enthusiasts like us.👭 If you also want to go on a spontaneous trip, why not try chartering a car!🚘
