    "Very suitable for children to come to the first floor of the museum, there are many different kinds of trains, and there is also a hangar of the old railway station for visiting. The museum also shows the style of Japanese stations in different eras, and the place where railway fans must come. Especially recommended for the restaurant on the second floor, there are seats facing the railway outside the window, you can watch the tram while eating"

    "The attractions recommended by Japanese friends, there are basically no Chinese team tourists. Friends joke that it is a Japanese Hengdian, because there are many scenes for filming. If you are interested in ninja culture, don't miss the ninja fighting performance inside. Other fun projects are relatively naive. Meet many Japanese primary and secondary school students on autumn tours"

    "Jellyfish were great! Not quite as impressive in range of sea-life as Sumida under the Skytree, but worth a visit if you are only in Kyoto. Also has its own penguin colony!Kyoto Aquarium does have an outdoor pool area for dolphins and exhibitions that Sumida does not have."

    Highlights: On this land, the first aquarium was born. The rainwater that fell between the Tamba Mountains and the Ashi virgin forest turned into a clear spring, a small stream, and soon it converged into a large river, which finally emptied into the sea. The ecosystem that flows from the source all the way to the sea, and the symbiosis of various organisms, is reproduced in the aquarium. Also, the Kyoto Aquarium is more than just displays. Activities such as "close encounters", which are learned while playing, and explanations by breeders are also regularly held here. The goal of the aquarium is to create a comprehensive educational and entertaining facility that allows children living in Kyoto to get close to the water and the various creatures that inhabit it. At the same time, it also reduces power consumption through solar power generation and supports the breeding of rare species in Kyoto. As a representative facility of an environmental model city, it is committed to nature conservation.

    "Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ As soon as you come out of Lushan Station, it is Lushan Park. Lushan Park feels that there are not many people, and the park may be scattered. Lushan Park seems to have boating and other projects, so you can enjoy the whole scenery of Lushan. Since we did not take Lushan Park as a main attraction, did not study the route facilities of the park, etc., but hurried past and rushed directly to the next attraction. With time, Lushan Park is still worth stopping to enjoy. You can choose to take a break here. Breathe the fresh air, stroll leisurely, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the landscapes around. The continuous white clouds also add a bit of poetry and painting. A few steps away from Lushan Park is the moon bridge. After crossing the bridge, it is the commercial street with a human head."

    Highlights: Arashiyama Park is located at the point where the Hozu River Valley reaches the plains, and consists of three areas: Kameyama, Nakanoshima, and Rinchuan Temple. It is a famous place for cherry blossoms in spring and maple leaves in autumn. It has been popular with royal family members since ancient times. The Kameyama area is located in the hilly area of the southeast of Kokura Mountain. It is dominated by Korean pine, with cherry blossoms and maples intertwined, and there are mountain rhododendrons clustered together under the trees. The natural beauty is impressive. The path is surrounded by trees, and there are plazas, rest areas, observation decks, children's plazas and other facilities. On the west side is an excellent viewpoint overlooking Hozu Gorge, and on the east side is the cremation cemetery of the three emperors after Emperor Gosaga. The Nakanoshima area, as the name says, is a river island formed in the Katsura River. There are many pine trees and cherry trees on the island. Especially during the flower viewing season, many tourists come here to be very lively. In addition, you can often see leisurely anglers in the beautiful nature of the mountains on the opposite bank and Katsura River. Located in the Rinchuanji area on the left bank of the lower stream of Togetsu Bridge, the old Korean pine is the main body, and the tree-lined road with cherry blossoms and maples intertwined, forming an elegant scenery. If you have enough time, you may wish to walk along the Dayan River for more than 100 meters, climb a steep slope to the right, and you can see the monument to Premier Zhou's poem. The stele is made from the Kurama stone of Kurama Mountain in Kyoto. The body of the stele stands on a round platform stacked with large and small stones. On it, the poem "Arashiyama in the Rain" by President Zhou is engraved in Chinese.
