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.

This castle is very beautiful, and it is relatively small. There are not many tourists. It rained when it came. The cherry blossoms 🌸 just bloomed. It is very pleasant to stroll here. Your Excellency Tianshou, a cherry tree is so beautiful, and the surrounding environment complements each other.
