[Kyoto/Autumn Foliage Spot] Feel the quiet flow of time at Kyoto's oldest Zen temple

[Kyoto/Autumn Foliage Spots] I'll tell you about some hidden spots! ! Here's what I'm introducing this time! "Kenninji" in Kyoto Kenninji is the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto, and its dry landscape garden, known as the "Ryōan Garden", is beautiful and very popular✨️ The leaves here are very beautiful when they are dyed red with autumn leaves, but unfortunately, on this day, they were still green, and it was a little different from what I imagined💦 By the way, this temple is also very strict about photography! Selfies (including taking pictures of the back) are generally prohibited. It's unavoidable that strangers will get in the picture when you take a picture of the scenery, but it's not okay to intentionally take a picture like that🙅♀️🆖⤵️ The security guard will come yelling at you with a very angry look😅 Be careful. . That didn't happen to us, but if you are caught (or rather, you will be caught if you take pictures like that), you will be kicked out 😅😅😅 Of course, it's fine to just take pictures of the scenery, but if you want to take pictures of people, I think it's better to avoid visiting this place 💦 Please save it and use it for your outing plans ❤️ . 📝﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ Spot details 📍Shozan Resort (Kitateiwa) 🏷️ Kinugasa Kagamiishicho, Kita-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 🕐9:00-17:00 *Lights up for a limited time during the autumn leaves season.

This ticket includes the admission fee at the designated location + sweets or admission fee at the designated location. The trouble is that even if you purchase the ticket online in advance, you need to exchange it at the designated location in Kyoto, and you can only exchange it on the day you use it. If you only exchange it in advance, the ticket will be invalid. Also, since it can only be used on the day it is redeemed, you cannot use one place on the day it is redeemed and the other the next day. However, I used it to light up Kenninji Temple and Momiji-en, which means that the entrance fee to Kenninji Temple is only 100 yen, so it is definitely a great deal. It's a bit of a hassle, but if you want to get a good deal, check out these tickets again next year! If you search for EXpress online, you will find that they sell a variety of tickets 🚅 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #Couple trip #Recommended for dates #Solo trip #Domestic trip #Travel with me #Photogenic spots #Girls trip #Domestic trip #Travel #Breathtaking views #Kyoto #Kyoto sightseeing #Kyoto trip #Amazing nature #Autumn foliage spots #Memories of traveling in Japan #0 yen trip autumn
