Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ The Huajian Road in the garden is also near the hotel where you live, and it can be reached in steps. Sometimes it takes a few times a day. Huajian Road has always felt that the name is very wonderful, a bit romantic and a little fresh. It is said that this is a famous geisha area, but I didn't see much geisha ladies. There are many young ladies who wear kimonos. Huajian Road is also a scenic spot worth visiting. The layout structure is more traditional Japanese style and characteristics. There are also many snacks and dining places. Because the itinerary is slightly rushed, there is no more stops in Huajian Road.

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ The first monastery in Kyoto. Only by bus can you reach it. After getting off the bus, go all the way up, passing restaurants and small shops along the way. The scenery along the way is also very beautiful, not slow, come to the 3,000 courtyard, very simple doorway. Buy tickets for admission, take off your shoes after entering, and visit along the sign. The 3,000 courtyards are large, and all kinds of trees and red maples are quite spectacular. If you want to go all over the courtyard, all the viewing is in place, it feels like it will take more than half a day. The scenery is so beautiful that I will linger. You can also pray for blessings in the courtyard and buy Yushou. The first trip to choose to come to the 3,000 courtyard is a wonderful start. By the way, it was the peak lunch hour when I came out of the 3,000 courtyard. The restaurants at the door were all full, hungry, and quickly found another way out.

Renhe Temple, the imperial cherry blossom period here is much more than the general cherry blossom evening, can be said to be the last "flower see" in Kyoto. When more than 200 imperial cherry blossoms at Renhe Temple began to cherry blossoms and snow fell, it indicates that this year's cherry blossom season is really over. The cherry blossom sea here is like a gorgeous scene in your dreams, strolling along the walkway between the "Royal House cherry", which is a completely different feeling from the general cherry forest, as if it had entered a flower bush, surrounded by a sea of flowers. Looking up, you can see the towering five towers, standing above the sea of flowers, classical and solemn.

I booked the Katsura Rikyu I wanted to go to once and visited it. The garden was large and it was a garden that showed the whole thing full of the desire to entertain the people who came! There are many detailed plans to entertain the viewer, such as the distance to the calculated gate of a single tree at the end of the scenic fence spreading in the back of the ridge. It was very nice ♡

Do drop by if you are nearby in spring! The cherry blossom trees are plentiful and dense. Winds are strong too so be ready for petal rain!

The Yasaka Tower is the oldest building in Kyoto. In the Faguan Temple, the tower seen here is called the Yasaka Tower. Because it is under maintenance, it is closed and no tickets are sold. Even this can't stop us from looking at it outside the wall!

The tenth generation of Mitsui family, Mitsui Gaodong, first moved the ancestral residence of Mitsui family, and then moved the family's residence in Kyoto, the villa with a habitat hall and wooden house, to the gate, the main building, the Wanglou, and then added a tea room and a porch. The original design of the Mitsui Yabuya is basically completed. The original architectural design was designed by Ishiro Sasaki, who designed the Ping An Shenyuan in the Ping An Shen Palace. (Please refer to the previous travel photography for details). After the war, it became nationalized with the dissolution of Mitsui chaebols, and was designated as an important cultural property in recent years and transferred to Kyoto City for renovation and open for visits. As a tourist attraction in Kyoto, it may not be too conspicuous, but what such ancient mansion buildings can impress is not gorgeous and dazzling, but the traces of years and the precipitation of history.
