Inari Taisha Shrine Time: Open for sightseeing all day; Shrine visit time: -: Tickets: Free Website: The best theme for prayer is wealth and business. Bells for praying and making wishes. Yunluo is not a religious person, but every time he travels, he still goes to some temples to pray for the people he loves and the people who love him, which is also a way to express good wishes.
The beliefs of each country are different, and the customs of the beliefs are also different, but the piety you see is the same. Some people say that sincerity is the key to success, but it is better to say that when Yunluo and An Chuyu have a wish, Yunluo and An Chuyu will make more efforts to realize it, and then the realization will be in the near future. Believe it, believe that good things will happen.
Many people who come here probably saw this scene before they set off. You can tell where it is in Kyoto at a glance. I like this flower shop full of sunshine when I pass by Fushimi Inari Taisha. Fushimi Inari is not connected to other points. Take the bus back to Kyoto Station and then transfer to Kiyomizu Temple. It is very convenient to walk to the places you want to go.
Various stone paths mean that you have come to the most Kyoto-like place. Kiyomizu Temple Kiyomizu Temple was built in 1649, before Kyoto was established as the capital. It is a temple with a long history. It is located on the hillside of Otowa Mountain in the eastern part of Kyoto City. The Otowa Waterfall in the temple has three sources, representing longevity, academic success and smooth love. When praying, you can only choose one and drink only one sip.
Otherwise, the wish will not come true. The beauty of Kiyomizu Temple, reflected by spring cherry blossoms, new green and red leaves, is widely known as the representative scenery of Kyoto. The Kyoto Kanji Association also believes that Kiyomizu Temple is a typical representative of Japanese temples.

If you are like Yunluo and are not interested in temple culture, and come here mainly to see the architecture, I recommend the night cherry blossom viewing event at Kiyomizu Temple in spring. Yunluo came a week early and missed it. The temple here is full of cherry blossoms. It must be very charming under such a building at night with lights. Yunluo found that Yunluo was really full of emotions and came a week early.
Spring came very late in 2017, and the leap month in 2017 delayed the solar terms in the lunar calendar. After leaving Kiyomizu Temple, we will walk. It is recommended to follow the Google map, which can be done in one go. The route is the most Kyoto-like path.

Walking route: Kiyomizu Temple - Kiyomizu-zaka - Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka - Ishibe-koji - Yasaka Shrine - Hanami-koji Kiyomizu-zaka is a road near Kiyomizu Temple. It is also the approach to Kiyomizu Temple.
This street sells a variety of Kyoto specialties, such as Kiyomizu-yaki, confectionery shops, craft shops, etc. Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka Ninenzaka was built in AD. From Sannenzaka to Ninenzaka, you can go all the way to Nene-no-Michi, connecting Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Kodai-ji Temple. Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka are very famous neighborhoods in Kyoto, surrounded by old wooden houses and traditional Japanese shops.
Ishibe-koji is a narrow path that connects vertically to Ningning-no-michi. It is quiet, winding, and secretive, hiding several high-end restaurants. There is also a "flower lantern road" event in the spring night. Before night falls, the cherry blossoms in the lights bloom more ambiguously. The street at the entrance of Yasaka Shrine is a little surprise when you walk out of the cobblestone road.
The lights flickered, and I fell in love with it again. Yasaka Shrine Yasaka Shrine is a shrine located in Higashiyama District, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. It is one of the 22 shrines. It is the head shrine of about 3,000 Yasaka Shrines in Japan, and its nickname is Gion-san.

Pontocho. Kamogawa Pontocho is the most lively street in Kyoto, parallel to the Kamogawa River, extending from Kawagencho to Sanjo. Pontocho is full of izakayas, bars, and restaurants of all sizes.
However, it has cleverly maintained a unified classical architectural style and is one of the most charming old streets in Kyoto.

Phone: +---Website In the sun, the branches of the cherry trees hide the cuteness of the deer in the shadows. Yunluo imagined that if the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, the falling petals would blow on the lawn and on the deer.
The scene is so beautiful when I think of it, I feel that I can't miss it. I heard that the deer in Nara are not so docile and cute before I came. They are greedy and reckless. But Yunluo still thinks they are cute and likes them very much. The weather is really cold and the wind is so strong that Yunluo wants to run back to the hotel to sleep. I plan to take the Arashiyama train. Yunluo imagines that if the cherry blossoms are in full bloom there.
I was going to miss the best scenery again, so I decided to go there. Arashiyama is located west of Kyoto City.

It is the second most important scenic spot in Kyoto after Higashiyama. The Sagano Train is a small train dedicated to sightseeing along the Hozu Gorge. The starting point of the sightseeing train is Saga Station and the terminal is Kameoka. It runs km. ? The official website of the small train.

Yunluo's route: I found it very convenient to take the JR from Kyoto Station to Mahori Station (馬堀駅). This is the timetable of "Sagano" that I checked on the official website before departure. It is the most convenient route from Tokyo Station.
Or JR arrived at "Umahori Station" first. Below is the departure timetable of the sightseeing railway train that Yunluo took when he arrived, you can refer to it. Look at the spring, summer, autumn and winter of the Blue Mountain train in the poster, isn't it super **. Yunluo wants to say something again. The cold air blew away Yunluo's cherry blossoms. If I go again, Yunluo wants to choose Arashiyama where it snows in winter.
I found many photos of stations in Japan. Yunluo prefers to think of it as a feeling of waiting, although stations often mean parting. Cherry blossoms are pink on the branches, but Yunluo is one spring away from them. Build a house in Yodobashi to avoid the cold wind outside. Wander back to the residence. Even the most ordinary buildings during the day become warm at night.
In fact, Yunluo likes to wander around freely like this. When he doesn't want to see the scenery, he can just be alone on a strange street where he can't tell east from west or north. Good night, my last night in Kyoto.
I'm going to another big city. After the transition to Kyoto, Yunluo found that he still prefers the bustling city. Osaka should be more attractive to Yunluo. Maybe people who are afraid of loneliness love the noise of the outside world. Or maybe it's not that they love the noise, but they look forward to the feeling of being filled in their hearts. For example, Yunluo is used to turning on all the visible lights within his sight when he gets home.
Turn on the TV or the speakers to play background music. Even though Yunluo may not be interested in listening, it often makes her feel full inside. Yunluo admits that Yunluo may often feel empty inside. Now that I have gone too far, let's talk about Yunluo's Osaka, a city that Yunluo thinks she will go to again.

This is OSAKA daypass, I will rely on it for the rest of the day. Another photo of the station, I don't remember what I was thinking at the time.

The temperature is always cold, the water you drink in and out of the restaurant must be iced by default, there are ice cream vending machines in the streets and alleys, subways and light rail stations, and an ice cream dessert is indispensable after the meal. Anyway, the taste of matcha flavored things in Japan is really pure and amazing.
Yunluo, who was possessed by her period the whole time, lost her resistance. A warm afternoon. I went out for a stroll with my camera. Actually, I couldn't say I was just strolling.
