We only had a day to go around Kyoto due to our tight schedule and our ambition to see as much as we could in 2 weeks. This leg of the journey although short was my favorite; Kyoto has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. It is crazy how breathtaking these places are, no wonder it has 17 UNESCO world heritage sites. (picture above is at Kiyomizu-dera)
Shoren-In Temple
The ever so beautiful maple trees
Arashiyama - a place where mothernature and a little help from gardeners blend really well. Above is at the bamboo forest. This place is defanately worth a visit, at night the colourful lighing highlights the bamboo growth and also mountains. Day or night this place is magical.
Gion - Most famous for the GeishasStepping into the Kyoto, makes you fall into a daze, the beautiful architecture of the traditional shrine and temples; the peaceful arrangements of the garden blends in like a was still in the 1800. Then suddenly you will smell food... which will make you hungry... and wake you up from that daze...
Pickle shop - in Gion
The Candy Man - Hand made candy
After a long and tiring day of sight seeing our stomachs started rumbling,we step into Kyousuishin , a small and almost posh looking restaurant specializing in Kyoto ryori or Kyoto Cooking.
Squid and Tuna Sushi
Sliced Beef Nabe - Beef Stew
Kyoto Beef - Not quite Kobe Beef but still delicious
