Anonymous userОчень красивый маршрут, если ставить поездку в середину дня как раз можно отдохнуть и насладиться видами. Бронировать поезд заранее обязательно- день в день были билеты только на через пару часов. По распечатке в кассе нам дали обычный тикет, но можно было открыть линк на телефоне, мне было неудобно, я обратилась с распечаткой с номером бронирования в кассу.
贝小贝193I arrived here in early September, and the weather was incredibly beautiful. Every photo I took looked like a painting. Japan is home to many temples, but I feel this is one you can't miss.
Kiyomizu-dera Temple is Kyoto's oldest temple, having been burned down and rebuilt several times. In spring, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, making it one of Kyoto's most famous cherry blossom viewing spots. In autumn, the vibrant red maple leaves make it a prime spot for autumn viewing.
In 1994, Kiyomizu-dera Temple was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This temple, along with Kinkaku-ji Temple (Kinkaku-ji Temple) and Arashiyama, is one of Kyoto's most famous scenic spots, attracting pilgrims year-round.贝小贝193Visit Fushimi Inari Taisha, known for its Thousand Torii Gates and Foxes.
Fushimi Inari Taisha is a famous shrine in Kyoto, Japan. Founded in the 8th century, Inari is the deity of agriculture and commerce, and pilgrims come to pray for good harvests, prosperous business, and safe travel. It is one of the most popular shrines in Kyoto.
The shrine boasts a variety of stone fox statues, as foxes are considered messengers of the deity Inari. Ema with fox-like faces is a special feature.
The most famous feature is the dense cluster of vermilion Thousand Torii Gates behind the main shrine building, a symbol of Kyoto and even featured in the film "Memoirs of a Geisha." Hundreds of these vermilion torii gates form a path leading to the summit of Mt. Inari, interspersed with dozens of stone fox statues.RandomstuffsgGion is one of Kyoto’s most enchanting districts, where old Japan comes alive through preserved wooden machiya houses, quiet tea rooms, and the occasional sight of a geisha hurrying down lantern-lit streets. It’s beautiful both day and night, offering a perfect blend of culture, tradition, and timeless charm.KuMa_YLying serenely on the banks of the Hozu River in the western suburbs of Kyoto, Arashiyama takes its name from "mountain mist," and indeed, a thin mist often lingers in the mornings, like a veil covering the face, adding a touch of mysterious beauty.
In spring, Arashiyama's waters shimmer beneath the Togetsukyo Bridge, where cherry blossoms shimmer in the water. A blanket of pink and white cherry blossoms hangs down, weighing down branches. Occasionally, petals drift onto the river, drifting eastward with the current, like a scene from a ukiyo-e painting come alive. Visitors row boats upstream or stroll along the shore, mesmerized by this fleeting beauty. The Sagano train whirrs through the mountains, its windows framing a moving painting.
In late autumn, a different atmosphere unfolds. The mountains transform from green to red, layer upon layer, a vibrant display. The stone steps of Jojakko-ji Temple, blanketed in crimson leaves, rustle as they step, like the earth's own sigh. The bamboo forest path is deep and secluded, the rustling of bamboo tips like crackling jade, and sunlight filtering through the gaps creates a dappled, shimmering scene. The tranquility of this place contrasts perfectly with the bustle of tourists not far away. Movement and stillness, noise and silence, coexist in remarkable harmony.
There are temples in the mountains, and within these temples are monks. In the dry landscape garden of Tenryu-ji Temple, one or two monks can often be seen sweeping fallen leaves with brooms, their movements slow and Zen-like. They sweep more than just leaves; they clearly sweep the grime of our hearts. Occasionally, the long, deep ring of a bell echoes from the Great Compassion Pavilion, startling a few jackdaws, which suddenly fly off into the distance.
Drifting down the Hozu River, the water is clear and shallow, and fish swim and flutter. The boatman, holding a bamboo pole, tells legends of mountain spirits and water monsters in a raspy yet intimate Kansai dialect. A teahouse stands on the shore, where an elderly woman kneels to serve tea. The bitter aroma of matcha blends with the sweetness of wagashi, evoking a sense of tranquility.
The beauty of Arashiyama lies not in its dramatic heights but in its tranquility; not in its bustle but in its serene stillness. The scenery changes with each season, but the beauty of its tranquility remains constant, inviting one to forget the worries of the world and simply wish to become a wisp of mist in the mountains, a leaf in the forest, living with nature.mosy2018I went to this place for a walk.
It is actually the only way to Kiyomizu Temple.
It was like going back to the Tang and Song dynasties.
The buildings and scenery on the street have well preserved the style of ancient China.
I didn't expect that I could travel through Kyoto in a completely natural way.
There were a lot of pedestrians wearing kimonos,
both men and women,
and their hairstyles matched,
which was very eye-catching.
There was a scene every step up the slope.
Walk and rest and look at the goods in the surrounding shops.
It was very local and a very leisurely street.
The feeling in the morning and evening was completely different.
The lights were dim at night,
and it was still very beautiful.
People would not feel tired while walking around.
It was really great!
BiancaArielI was surprised that there were many foreign tourists after getting off at the bus stop. The direction signs stand out. There are security personnel wearing uniforms on the crosswalk at the entrance. Admission tickets are only available in cash. The size of the tourist area is not large, so you don't have to walk for a long time. The trees are well managed. I can't get close to the building, but I was moved enough just to see it from a distance. If I live nearby, I might come here for a walk every day.Saiks27It is a rail heaven if you’re a fan of trains. A very high benchmark on how train museums must be built and run, and is natural that Japan must have the best one considering the culture of train travel. My son enjoyed a lot especially with Shinkansen train models and huge small scaled track units where model trains ran for about 15 mins. Definitely a must do on visit to Kyoto.
