ひよこ旅

Traditional crafts and other items are on display! Various events are also held here. There is a cafe on the first floor where you can eat light meals. It is a bright facility with an open ceiling. The interior is a bit complicated, so you may get lost until you get used to it.

Arashiyama is an iconic attraction in Kyoto, with its bamboo forest and the world-class cultural heritage Tenryu-ji Temple. You can take a train from Kameoka to Arashiyama and get off there. You don&#39;t have to go back and can enjoy the scenery and feel the nature along the way. It is a very good way to relax, and the journey is not very long, so it is suitable for children and the elderly to hike.

Kyoto is a famous &quot;thousand-year-old capital&quot; in Japan. Its urban landscape is full of Tang Dynasty style and charm. Many shrines, Buddhist pavilions and other historical sites are listed as World Cultural Heritage. Kiyomizu Temple is the oldest temple in Kyoto. It is surrounded by green trees. Standing on the Kiyomizu stage and looking far into the distance, the modern outline of Kyoto Tower and the thousand-year-old temple complement each other.

Tella

To get a feeling of serenity, I suggest early mornings or late evenings. It really is beautiful and the buzzing of the cicadas in summer make it feel like you&#39;re away from the city and in nature for a while. we even saw wild boar after dark.

Arashiyama

Mountain climbing

I was originally planning to take the bus from Saga and then return, but I overheard other tourists taking the subway directly to Kameoka and only taking the return bus. I found that I could experience it in one trip and save time. The weather was hot, but it was generally OK in the scenic area. When I got out of Arashiyama Station, I also had milky ice cream and fruit popsicles made by a grandfather using a Huawei watch. It was full of emotional value. Then I returned to the city of Kyoto. In this way, I basically visited several major attractions in one day!

Best Things to Do

学校🏫

Gion: Geisha phantom and capital meat grinder, Kyoto&#39;s most dangerous Ukiyo-e Is it worth going? If you want to dissect the dark fairy tale of Japanese aesthetics, it&#39;s worth it! But under the stone slabs of each flower-viewing path are tourists&#39; IQ taxes - this is the Disneyland of geisha culture, and you are a human ATM. 
Hard-core truth: blood and gold on the shamisen strings 
Chemical war on the back of the neck of the maiko: under the white powder is not the legendary &quot;swan neck&quot;, but the scar of collodion burns - traditional geishas need to use glue to straighten the neck lines. The young girl kneels in front of the mirror at 3 a.m. and uses a bone brush knife to smooth the skin texture, just for a 0.5-second glimpse in your lens at dusk. 
The indulgence system of Ichiriki Tea House: The private banquet behind the door curtain costs ￥300,000 per night, and what they drink is not wine but class sacrifice. But when you open the tatami secret compartment, the contract signed by the prostitutes in the Meiji period sleeps with this morning&#39;s credit card bill - a century of exploitation has never evolved, only the payment method has changed. 
The physical scam of Yasaka Tower: Internet celebrity photographers will not say: The best camera position is on top of the power distribution box in the back alley of Tatsumi Daimyojin. What&#39;s even darker is that the tower lighting is sponsored by Sharp, and the LED color temperature is adjusted according to the new mobile phone products of the season - faith has long been adjusted by capital. 
The cyber torture device of Shirakawa Tsutsumi: pressure sensors are installed on the stone steps, and hidden spray devices (officially called &quot;moisturizing system&quot;) are triggered when the crowd is overloaded. The &quot;poetic scene&quot; of your kimono being wetted by water mist is actually a sewer strategy of big data to disperse the flow of people. 

Anti-harvest survival guide (more important than booking Kaiseki) 
Morning attack on ghost theater: 
5:00 squatting at the back door of Gion Kobu dance practice hall**, watching the geisha with bruises on her eyes after removing her makeup ride a shared bicycle home 
6:30 rush into the **Kenninji** abbot garden, the sand sound of monks sweeping fallen leaves is the real &quot;Kyoto sound&quot; 
Unlocking the midnight secret path: 
- 22:00 climb into the **Shimbashi Shirakawa** restricted area in the dark (Google Map 33.995&deg;N, 135.768&deg;E), the century-old chimney is reflected in the water like a giant harp 
- Every Friday on garbage day, throw away the sake lees in the back alley of Inoue Brewery, and dig out the yeast that brewed the geisha&#39;s lip balm with bare hands 
Fatal peak staggering technique: 
-Standing at Yasaka Shrine with a transparent umbrella on a rainy night, watching the red lanterns turn into blood mist in the rain curtain 
- On the 10th of every month, on Geisha Emblem Day, follow the kimono delivery truck to the Nishijin weaving workshop and pick up the gold thread scraps from the tailor&#39;s knife 

Magical realism attack 
When you scoop up matcha shaved ice in the tea house, the &quot;geisha&quot; outside the window suddenly takes off her wig - that&#39;s a part-time cross-dressing job for a Ukrainian student earning ￥1,500 per hour. Even more absurd is the Hanamikoji vending machine: put in ￥5,000 to get a &quot;Geisha Breathing Air Can&quot;, scan the code to display the ingredients list
