Arashiyama Sagano Romantic Train

Anonymous User

It is a very distinctive little train, a very old-fashioned little train, with wooden seats, but it is well managed, clean and tidy. The busy work of the station managers reflects their professionalism, which is worthy of our learning.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple

张家老飞侠

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.

Arashiyama

Lola Coveñas

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.

Fushimi Inari Taisha

永远喜欢古河渚

Recommended, it is recommended to climb the mountain, many worship gods along the way, are different gods, very many small fox gods, very many bird houses (the more people are on the top, the less people are, good to take pictures), if you wear a kimono, don't climb the mountain, do not conquer Inari Mountain is equivalent to white (be prepared very tired) 🌝🌝

Gion

Alberto.chen

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

uztzuz

The famous two-year-old scenic spot in the Dongshan District of Kyoto, Japan. The two-year-old scenic spot was built in the early 9th century and has a long history of more than 1,000 years. The antique two-year-old scenic spot attracted tourists from all over the world to watch the tour. There are many historical and cultural monuments and old shops here. Walking here, you can experience the unique ancient charm and historical atmosphere of Japan.

Kinkaku-ji

许杰 Anson

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

Anonymous User

The Kyoto Railway Museum is simply amazing! As soon as I entered, the retro and modern blended design took me down. Super rich exhibits, from ancient steam locomotives to Shinkansen models, have everything. The interactive experience area is full of fun, and the children have a super fun. The staff is warm and professional, although I don’t understand, but I feel that science is in place, super suitable for children to increase knowledge

Yasaka Shrine

走遍天下XZ

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!
