Arashiyama Sagano Romantic Train

Anonymous User
We took the JR line to Maju Station and then walked a short distance to Guigang Station. There are still many people who buy tickets. We bought tickets on Trip.com in advance and took a sightseeing train. If the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the scenery is still good. We got off the bus at Busan Station and left the station is the bamboo forest path.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple

There are many Japanese temples. This attraction is not very big for more than an hour. There are many snacks under the mountain. It is recommended to taste the matcha sweet tube. It is not bad. You can ring the bell on the mountain and buy some small souvenirs.

Fushimi Inari Taisha

Recommended, I suggest climbing the mountain. There are many shrines along the way, all of which are dedicated to different gods, many small fox statues, and many torii (the higher you go, the fewer people there are, so it's good for taking pictures). If you wear a kimono, don't climb the mountain. If you don't conquer Inariyama, it's a waste of time (be prepared to be very tired)🌝🌝

Arashiyama

Arashiyama, in Kyoto, is a stunning destination known for its magical bamboo forest, scenic river views, and historic temples. Walking through the towering bamboo groves feels surreal, while the Togetsukyo Bridge offers breathtaking landscapes, especially in autumn and spring. The area also has charming streets, traditional shops, and the beautiful Tenryu-ji Temple.

Amazing Experience in Kyoto’s Gion During AutumnVisiting Kyoto in autumn was truly a breathtaking experience, and Gion was the highlight of my trip. The combination of historic streets, traditional wooden machiya houses, and the vibrant autumn foliage created a magical atmosphere. Walking through Hanamikoji Street felt like stepping back in time, with the occasional sighting of elegantly dressed maiko adding to the charm.

Sannenzaka & Ninenzaka

The famous Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka scenic spots in Higashiyama District, Kyoto, Japan. These two slopes were built in the early 9th century and have a long history of more than a thousand years. The quaint Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka attract tourists from all over the world to visit and travel. There are many historical and cultural relics and old shops here. Strolling here, you can experience the unique ancient charm and historical atmosphere of Japan.

Kinkaku-ji

Super beautiful! Listen to my advice. If you come to Kyoto, you must come to Kinkakuji Temple! The weather was particularly good on the day I went there. It was snowing heavily the day before, but it cleared up on the day. The sky was particularly blue, and the Golden Pavilion became more and more golden. The whole environment was very quiet and super beautiful! Different angles will have different beauty! The point is that the ticket to Kinkakuji Temple is very unique. Don't lose it. You can bring it back and frame it in a wooden frame. See the last picture!

Kyoto Railway Museum

The Kyoto Railway Museum is amazing! As soon as I entered, the retro and modern design grabbed me. There are a lot of exhibits, from old steam locomotives to Shinkansen models. The interactive experience area is full of fun, and the children had a lot of fun. The staff is enthusiastic and professional. Although I don’t understand, I feel that the popular science is in place. It is very suitable for bringing children to learn knowledge

Yasaka Shrine

Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto covers a large area. In a broad sense, it covers many small shrines scattered on the small roads around the area, as well as large forests and lawns around the area, as well as many small restaurants, coffee shops, and shops selling various snacks and handicrafts. It is open 24 hours a day, and it is another lively scene at night. This is not only a must-visit place for tourists from all over the world, but also a place for local residents to take a leisure walk. At noon, there are groups of students who bring lunch boxes to eat and play on the grass. The first time I came here was six years ago, and it hasn't changed at all. I will definitely come again!
