Occasionally there are stairs. Ninenzaka was said to have been completed in 807 and has 17 steps. Sannenzaka was built in 808, connecting Kiyomizu-zaka and Ninenzaka. This slope is the approach to Koan Pagoda (Taisanji Temple) where people pray for safe childbirth, and the Japanese pronunciation of "Sanning" for safe childbirth is similar to "Sannen".

Therefore, Sannenzaka is also called Sanning-zaka. At the bottom of Sannenzaka is Kodaiji Temple, where there is a big Buddha statue leaning against the mountain. Walking along, you will reach Yasaka Shrine in Maruyama Park, where some buildings are still under renovation. Once you enter Maruyama Park, you will enter a different world, full of the breath of life.

It was a really lively cherry blossom festival. There were crowds of people under the cherry blossom trees. Locals spread plastic sheets under the trees and started eating and drinking. There were also steaming hot snack stalls along the way. Not long after walking forward, we came to Zhienyuan, a magnificent building, but when Yunluo and Anchu met, it was already closing time, so they didn't go inside.

Not long after walking along Hanami-koji, we saw a "Gion Shinchi Kabuki Arena" where you can watch performances if you buy tickets. Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't watch the show, but took pictures of flowers for a long time near the ticket office. Further ahead is Kenninji Temple, which is not small. It's rare to feel quiet here. There are few people, the green trees are quite Zen, and the falling cherry blossoms are also very beautiful.

The picture below shows the Kamo River, which runs parallel to the Takase River. It looks like a very wide river. The next stop is the Takase River. It was a little dark at this time, but when walking towards the Takase River, I came across a large area of ​​very beautiful cherry blossoms on the roadside. I stopped to take pictures for a long time. The best thing about this street is that there are no tourists at all, only cherry blossoms and the orange street lights that have just been lit.

The picture below shows the Kamogawa River, which is parallel to the Takase River. It looks like a very wide river. The Takase River has cherry blossoms blooming along the river. The cherry blossoms in the dark night have a particularly mysterious beauty. The Takase River is very similar to the Shirakawa River in Gion, with small bridges and flowing water, lush cherry blossoms, and Japanese-style restaurants on both sides. You can see people dining in the windows shaded by cherry blossoms.

There were people playing and singing under the cherry trees. It was full of life. There were fewer people in Takasegawa than in Shirakawa, but only a little (the guides I read before said that there were few people, maybe because I went there on a weekend evening). We had dinner at the Gyoshin Sushi restaurant near Takasegawa. We waited for a while. All the sushi was made on site.

There was only a counter between the sushi chef and the diners. Once the sushi was ready, it was served directly to the diners' table. The fish was lifted up for everyone to see, and after a few cheers, they began to cut it. The chef asked Yun Luo and An Chuyu if they wanted to try the fish heart, and then served it on a small plate, with the little heart still beating in the plate.

Tamagoyaki. Slightly sweet, very refreshing. Salmon salmon~ Yunluo's favorite, eel sushi! Super delicious! 260 Luxurious sushi platter, the fish is very fresh. 261 After eating and drinking, continue the night cherry blossom tour. Of course, you can't miss Shirakawa Nandori, small bridges, flowing water, weeping cherry blossoms, geishas, ​​shrines, and traditional Japanese houses.

All the Japanese elements you can imagine are gathered here. 262It was completely dark at this time, and the cherry blossoms were dyed with various colors by the lights. 263It is not without reason that this place was rated as one of the most beautiful streets in Asia by LonelyPlanet. The only drawback is that there are too many people == 264There is a small shrine dedicated to "Tatsumi Daimyojin".

During the cherry blossom season, the lights around the shrine are lit up at night, which is called "Gion Shirakawa Evening Sakura Light Up". A couple taking wedding photos in front of the shrine. Two photos. 267 Gion, a famous place of entertainment and a geisha district since the Edo period. The gurgling water of Shirakawa. 3 The Biwako Canal, which we passed by on our way back to the hotel, is a small canal connected to Lake Biwa.

It is very close to Heian Shrine and the Art Museum. When I passed by on the bus during the day, I saw a cruise ship passing by on the river. The night cherry blossoms are very beautiful.

I wanted to get up early and head to Keage Railway, but I lost interest when I heard the sound of rain outside the window. I was so tired from playing yesterday that I stayed in bed for a while. I walked to Keage. I passed by the Biwako Canal where I watched the night cherry blossoms last night. Behind the cherry blossoms were the misty mountains. It was a completely different scene compared to yesterday.

It makes sense to call it the "inclined railway" because from a distance it looks like the entire railway is built on a small slope. 279 Keage Incline Railway was laid during the Meiji period. It is 582 meters long and is now abandoned and designated as a national historic site. When it was in operation, ships were transported on a track on a slope with a height difference of 36 meters.

Along the way from Otsu to Kyoto, there were two sections of Lake Biwa with a large drop in elevation. Railways were needed to assist the waterways in transporting supplies. There are about 90 Somei Yoshino cherry trees in full bloom on both sides of the 280 Keage Railway. The trail is short and you can walk along the railway while enjoying the cherry blossoms. Although it was a rainy day, there were still many tourists, and there were also groups of people taking wedding photos.

You can imagine how crowded it would be if it was a sunny day. The best position to take photos of the railway is, of course, to squat down and take photos of both the railway and the cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, this is a "too many people ruin everything" scenic spot. Even if there are only three or two unrelated passers-by, it still ruins the picture. I can't help but imagine if there was no one on this road.

How beautiful it would be if it was photographed, an abandoned railway, a quiet secret place... Next is the main itinerary for today, we will travel along the Arashiyama Line. Yunluo and An Chuyu first took the subway to Tenjin River Station, then went to Arashiyama Tenjin River Station and transferred to Arashiyama to Arashiyama. 289290291 Each platform of Arashiyama is very small, and there are no staff.

When you get off the train, you just give the ticket or money to the driver. The train only has a few carriages, or even one or two carriages, which is very cute. 292 The interior of the carriage is also cute. 293 I bought a 500 yen Arashiyama train one-day pass at Arashiyama Station, and I'll be relying on it for the whole day. 294 As soon as you get out of Arashiyama Station, you will see large areas of cherry blossoms and small shops all over the street.

Yunluo and An Chuyu, two crazy people who visit souvenir shops, couldn't help but go from shop to shop, which took a lot of time. Then they crossed the Moon Bridge to Nakajima. Standing on the bridge with an umbrella, looking towards the mountain, the majestic water vapor was quite shocking. 298 The overall feeling of Nakajima to Yunluo was that there were many cherry trees, but there were too few other elements except cherry blossoms.

Nothing special... I got used to it in Kyoto these few days. Simply appreciating cherry blossoms is no longer enough for Yunluo == 299 I took pictures of pigeons here for a long time. 300301302 After returning from Nakanoshima, I headed towards Tenryuji Temple. 303 Tenryuji Temple was built on the basis of a detached palace in Kencho 7 with Arashiyama as the background. It was converted into a Zen temple in 1868.

The garden in the temple, with the scenery of Kameyama and Arashiyama, combines the elegance of aristocratic culture with the mystery of Zen Buddhism, and is a special national historical site. 304 Due to different varieties. The cherry blossoms in Tenryuji Temple usually bloom earlier than other areas in Kyoto, making it a famous place to enjoy early cherry blossoms. Because of the rain, the petals have fallen all over the pond. 305 The garden landscape of Tenryuji Temple is very famous.

You must buy a ticket to enter. There are many varieties of plants. There are small signs indicating their names. When you come out of the Tenryuji Garden, you will be surrounded by a green bamboo forest. This is the famous Arashiyama Bamboo Forest Road (Sagano Bamboo Forest). The cover of lonelyplanet's "Japan" was taken here. 308309 The bamboo forest road is about 500 meters long.

The towering bamboo forest blocks out the sun. Standing in the bamboo forest, you can hear the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves. This sound has also been rated as one of the 100 most worthy sounds to preserve in Japan. 310 Because the train will pass through the cherry blossom tunnel on the way, Yunluo ran to the front of the carriage and waited for the train to pass through the cherry blossom forest. 311 It took much longer than expected in Arashiyama.

It was already afternoon when they set out on their return journey. Yunluo and An Chuyu continued to take the Arashiyama train towards Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. As the 312 train would pass through the cherry blossom tunnel, Yunluo ran to the front of the carriage and waited for the train to pass through the cherry blossom forest. After passing through the cherry blossom tunnel, they arrived at Utano Station and quickly got off the train to find the intersection to wait for the train.

It should be noted that there are mostly small houses on both sides of the railway, and there is no place for tourists to stay. You can only go around the railway and find a limited number of intersections. Only here can you get close to the railway and take pictures of the train. The 315 train passes through the cherry blossom tunnel. The 316 train passes through the cherry blossom tunnel and arrives at Utano Station. Get off quickly and find an intersection to wait for the train.

It should be noted that there are mostly small houses on both sides of the railway, and there is no place for tourists to stay. You can only go around the railway and find a limited number of intersections. Only here can you get close to the railway and take pictures of the train. On the way to find the intersection, I saw a large area of ​​cherry blossoms and gurgling water. There is a station called "Murataki" here.

Maybe it was named after the sound of the waterfall. I found the first intersection. I started to wait eagerly. 320321 succeeded in waiting~ I reached the second intersection and continued to wait. 323 succeeded in waiting~ I was satisfied after taking pictures of these two intersections, so I strolled to Narutaki Station to wait for the bus, and took the Arashiyama Railway to walk through the cherry blossom tunnel for the second time.

It was already late when I finished taking photos of the cherry blossom tunnel. Although there were Ninna-ji Temple and Ryoan-ji Temple on this route, I didn't have time to see them, so I decided to go straight to Kitano Hakubai-cho and visit the three most classic attractions - Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Hirano Shrine, and Kinkaku-ji Temple. When I arrived at Shirano Hakubai-cho at 3:30, Kinkaku-ji Temple was already closed. I had to give up.

We first visited Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, which has a very large courtyard and magnificent architecture. 331 Tenmangu Shrine enshrines Sugawara no Michizane, a 10th-century scholar who is regarded as the "God of Learning." The garden is planted with his favorite plum blossoms and a huge bronze bull as his animal guardian. The next stop is Hirano Shrine, which has so many flowers.

At night, Hirano Shrine gave Yunluo and An Chuyu a surprise. The beautiful lanterns were lit one by one, which was so beautiful that people were speechless. With the background of the torii and buildings, it was full of quaint charm. There are not only many flowers here, but also a rich variety of flowers. Today is the last day in Kansai, and I will fly back to China in the evening.

The weather was still gloomy. I had planned to just walk around the area in the morning, and I hadn't thought of bringing an umbrella when I went out. But when I got to Heian Shrine, it started to rain. I had no choice but to take a quick look at Heian Shrine and then hurried back to get an umbrella. However, when Yunluo and An Chuyu took their umbrellas and went out, it stopped raining.

This morning, we only visited two attractions near our accommodation, one is Heian Shrine and the other is Kinkai Komyoji Temple. Actually, we didn't intend to go to Komyoji Temple. Yunluo and An Chuyu wanted to find Okazaki Shrine (the legendary Rabbit Shrine) but they didn't find it, so they accidentally came here. As soon as we entered the door, we were completely shocked by the quietness here. There was no one!

The number of tourists we met was in the single digits. The most important thing is that the cherry blossoms here are extremely beautiful, quietly blooming in front of the temple, full of Zen. After visiting Hirano Shrine, there was probably no Arashiyama at this time, so we took the bus back to our accommodation. Yunluo and An Chuyu found a store near where they lived, and each had a bowl of steaming hot soba noodles.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

No one! The number of tourists encountered was in the single digits. The most important thing is that the cherry blossoms here are extremely beautiful, blooming quietly in front of the temple, full of Zen. During the seven days of cherry blossoms, Yunluo and An Chuyu experienced several stages of the life of cherry blossoms in just these few days. When I first came to Kyoto, there was a station near which the flowers were in full bloom.

Today, only three-tenths of it remains. There are also many fallen cherry blossoms in Guangming Temple, with one place colorful and another lonely. Jinjie Guangming Temple was built 1,000 years ago and is the highest-ranking temple in a Buddhist sect. It is the main temple of the Pure Land Sect. It is called Ziyun Mountain. It is also called Kurodani Hall, Shin Kurodani, and Shirakawa Zen House. It is said that the founder of the Pure Land Sect, Honen Shonin, was here.

When chanting on the rock on the top of Mt. Hiei, he saw the whole mountain of Shiyun shining in a bright light. So Honen Shonin came to Shiyun Mountain and built a thatched cottage and began to spread Buddhism. This became the first temple of the Pure Land Sect. When leaving Komyoji Temple, I magically saw a few branches of "red leaves".

At noon, I packed up my things and went out to take the bus to Kyoto Station. I forgot to take the "ticket" when I got on the bus, so I paid more for the fare. I had ramen at Isetan and went shopping. The underground floor is a special area for buying snacks, and foodies have a lot of harvest. Then I bought a Shinkansen ticket to Nagoya, from Kyoto to Nagoya.

It only took half an hour. The girl selling ice cream was really honest! She gave me a lot of ice cream! I missed it~~~ but it was really delicious! An Chuyu ate two~~ You can sprinkle a lot of different flavors of salt on it~~ Colorful~~~ There are many snow salt ice cream shops, don't worry about not being able to eat it~~ 16 Awamori is also a local specialty.

I drank some with dinner at night. It was a bit like shochu. The alcohol content was quite high. 17. Kokusai-dori basically sells similar things, but the decorations are unique! 18. Bitter melon is also a specialty of Okinawa. But it is really bitter. I still can't accept it. It seems like I am interviewing this store. There is a bitter melon-shaped chair at the door! 19. Buying candy!

The mouse fell into the rice jar~~~2021The entrance to Kokusai-dori~~22Family Mart, so many varieties! 23Okashi Goten~ is also very famous~ but after trying it... it seems to be just so-so~~ too high expectations.....24Is Japan very careful~~During the renovation. It occupied the blind path, so a temporary blind path was posted outside.

At 7:00 pm, I went to Makishi Market, which was a bit like a vegetable market~~~ Many stores were closed~~ I was wondering where to eat dinner. I found this one! An Chuyu was afraid of diarrhea from eating, so Yunluo forced him in! When we sat down, we found that many Japanese locals came to eat with their families! The store is so authentic that the staff can hardly speak English... The taste is great!

Okinawa specialty! Sea grapes! The taste is very special~~~29Fresh sashimi~~~We also ordered clam soup and awamori~~The store also gave us sashimi! 30After eating and drinking, we continued to walk around~~We saw a chip shop with a lot of people~~It also sold the peripheral products of the Three Chips Brothers~~~The taste was pretty good~31Allow Yunluo to show his true nature.

The first bus, Liantian Port. At the entrance of Kokusai-dori, cross the road and go to the Churaumi Aquarium! We arrived at 8:58~~ on time! 35 Tips for taking the bus: When you enter the bus, there is a small ticket machine on the left hand side. Take it and get on the bus~~ The ticket for Kokusai-dori should be numbered ticket 2~~ When you get off the bus, look at the display in front of you and see how much you should pay for the number corresponding to your number.

Just give the driver the ticket (International Street to the Sea of ​​Beauty, less than 2,000 per person) and we're at the Ocean Park! The world's largest ocean park! In fact, the Sea of ​​Beauty is only a part of it. There are also dolphinariums, turtle halls, etc. It's built like a zoo. You'll need to spend a whole day there. Remember to bring a nice notebook! There are beautiful stamps to be stamped.

The kids are watching so seriously! 4041 The baby was scared to death~ He didn't move at all~~~~ The highlight is this big fish tank! 44 There is a restaurant next to the big fish tank! A few people sat next to the big fish tank and watched from a distance! It's really great! ~45 Isn't it great! 46 The diver will bring the dolphin to stop by your table!

These guys swam over and lay down at my feet~~~Drunk~~~48Dummy face~~49Overlooking the big fish tank! 505152Dolphins are really naughty! When he swam, all the fish in the fish tank were happy! With his two Friends~~5354Manatee Pavilion~55Dolphin show! Great! 5657Tropical Fantasy Zone~You need to buy tickets~There is still something to see inside.

There are many shooting spots marked~~ The participation rate is still very high! 60 Observation Tower~~ I was blown into a fool! 61626364 You don’t have to walk up the long stairs! There is an elevator~~~ (It rained heavily... Prepare for the typhoon the next day...) 65 Pavilion is where you get off the bus. If you see someone standing on the opposite side, it is the station to get on the bus back to Kokusai-dori. (~^~)
