The weather was so nice that it was a picture-perfect day. I think it's a place you should definitely visit on a trip. There were a lot of Koreans in Osaka Namba, and almost none in other places. I visited Tokyo-Osaka-Kyoto in that order, and there was no racism, and there were even people who spoke to me in Korean, so I think I traveled with a smile! 😃 #KyotoTravel #Osaka

#OsakaTravel I'll introduce a good place to watch the sunset while traveling in Kyoto!! It's Kiyomizu-gojo Station 🤗 It's a view of the Kamo River, and many people were actually taking pictures on the bridge!! The sunset view was so beautiful 🌅🧡 It really felt like the Han River in our country ㅎㅎ There were a lot of people sitting around the river!! ☑️Location: Kyoto Kiyomizu-gojo Station ☑️Information: - It's along the Kamo River, so it's good for a walk around there!! - If you go at sunset, you can enjoy a beautiful view ㅎㅎ - It's good for sightseeing while going to Kiyomizu-dera😆 - There were sooooo many people..! If you go to Kyoto, make sure to go to Kiyomizu-gojo Station at sunset. It's really beautiful👍🏻

[Kimono Forest] Kimono Forest was so beautiful at night that I was surprised! The business hours are 24 hours, but the lights turned off around 9 o'clock..? Just in case, I think it would be good to take note~! I can only see what I can see, but I recommend going for a walk at night! It's a street with a lot of people during the day, but when I came at night, We could enjoy it alone, and it felt quiet during the day, but Kyoto, which was noisy with people, was completely quiet at night, so it was nice to feel the silence of Kyoto.😊 If it's near your accommodation, I recommend visiting😆

What happens when you go to Kyoto, Japan in early April 🌸 ⠀ = All the photos I just took are just so pretty 💗💗 These are photos from my album that I always open when spring comes, even though they were taken 4 years ago. Hehe💕 Since it seems like a lot of people are going to Japan to see cherry blossoms this time, I organized a little bit of my story about my trip. 🫶🏻 [My Kyoto day trip course] ✅ Arashiyama Station - Kimono rental - Chikurin Bamboo Forest - Togetsukyo Bridge - Kawaramachi Station - Ninenzaka - Sannenzaka - Kiyomizu-dera - Kimono return (10:00-18:00) (Total 8 hours) ✅ If you're going to see cherry blossoms, I recommend taking the Randen Train! There is a cherry blossom tunnel between Utano Station and Narutaki Station 🌸 (I skipped it because I didn't have time) 👘 I rented a kimono near Irashiyama Station : ) 📷 1️⃣ On the way to #Chikurin from #Arashiyama Station 2️⃣ #Arashiyama Bamboo Forest 3️⃣ #Arashiyama Park 4️⃣ #Kawaramachi Station 1A Cherry Blossom Tunnel🌸 5️⃣ Near #Yasaka Shrine 6️⃣ #Ninenzaka #Sannenzaka 7️⃣ - 🔟 #Kiyomizu-dera #Keishuji 〰️ The cherry blossoms bloom and fall at different times every year, so checking in real time is essential 🫰🏻 #JapanTravel #Kyoto #Kimono

#JapanTravel 📌Kyoto Ryokan Accommodation Full of Classic Japanese Feel ⠀ 📍Momijiya Honkan Takao Sansui Ryokan 📍Umegahata Takaocho, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto, 616-8292 Japan ⏰ Check-in 3pm / Check-out 10am ⠀ I chose a tatami room + ryokan accommodation that I've always wanted to stay in for my Kyoto trip this time🙂 ⠀ There must be many people who travel to Osaka and Kyoto together. If there were many Koreans in Osaka, Kyoto was less crowded and there weren't many Koreans, so it seemed better. ⠀ The Momijiya Ryokan I chose includes dinner and breakfast the next day, and you can use the outdoor hot spring for an additional cost per person! Be sure to use the outdoor hot spring even if it costs extra! The mountain view that unfolds before your eyes is really the best👍 If you only look at the cost, you may feel that it is a little expensive, but as soon as you check in, welcome tea and snacks are prepared, and dinner and breakfast are included, and even an open-air bath is provided, and after checking out, a sending service to the station is prepared, so I was very satisfied! If you are preparing for a trip to Kyoto, please refer to this🧡 ⠀ You can read the detailed review of Momijiya Ryokan on the blog😉👩🏻‍💻 #Kyoto travel #Kyoto ryokan #Kyoto accommodation #Kyoto travel✈️ #Kyoto hotel #Kyoto travel course #During Kyoto travel #Momijiya ryokan #Momijiya main building #Hot place #Hotel recommendation #Japan travel #Japan free travel #Japan accommodation #Japan travel🇯🇵 #Japan travel course #Japan travel✈️ #Places to visit in Japan #Ryokan #Ryokan travel #Ryokan hotel #Ryokan recommendation #Ryokan hot spring #Japanese hot spring #Japan Kyoto #Japan Kyoto travel

We visited Kyoto prefecture for a day trip and we saw several places: Byōdō-in Buddhist Temple in Uji City followed by Tea Ceremony (Chanoyu) at Uji's Taihoan Tea House and Fushimi Inari Shrine. We also went to the Japanese tea production where they made the tea in traditional way as well as the roasting unit which make unique and rich tea flavor. In the evening we enjoyed a traditional Japanese dinner at Kodaiji Hashiba. #2023travelwish

#OsakaTravel Arivaca Coffee, famous for its Kyoto Arashiyama cafe☕️ It's also called Ung Coffee Since you can see it when you walk from Hankyu Arashiyama Station, it's also a course you stop by during your Kyoto trip☺️ It's a cafe that many people visit early in the morning Most people drink ice cafe latte, but I also had a cup😍 I drank strong coffee while looking out from in front of Togetsukyo Bridge 📍8:00~18:00 #HotPlace #CafeRecommendation

#JapanTravel #Japan #KyotoTravel #FushimiInariShrine When visiting Kyoto, Japan, a place you must visit is the fox shrine “Fushimi Inari Shrine” in Kyoto. Fushimi Inari Shrine is a shrine guarded by sacred foxes, and before entering, you must rinse your mouth and wash your hands at the entrance. You can have your fortune told and they also sell souvenirs, so I highly recommend visiting!

#OsakaTravel If you like tripe, you must visit Hormone Chiba💚 Hormone means tripe, and you can eat it by part like a course, and since the staff will grill it for you, it's easy to eat☺️ Since it's a popular place for both tourists and locals, I recommend going early and waiting in line before opening time👍🏻 Jinjjinjjin!!! You have to eat a glass of beer here ✔️Grilled tripe course 2,800 yen per person 5 kinds of salt-grilled, 4 kinds of seasoned grilled, yaki udon or soba You can also add it as a single item, but I thought it was perfect because you can eat more for the price and eat it as a course😍 If you like tripe and large intestine, I recommend you visit once when you go to Kyoto❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 📍17:00~23:00 Closed on Tuesdays #HotPlace

#Emotional Accommodation #Japanese Emotion #Japan #Ryokan #Kyoto There are various accommodations in Kyoto, the old capital of Japan, but let's sleep at a ryokan, an emotional accommodation where you can feel the Japanese emotion. To be honest, ryokans are expensive... But shouldn't we, students who are short on money, experience a ryokan? So I went to find a ryokan that is cheap and good value for money. It's called Kyou no Yado Kagihei in the center of Kyoto. It's adjacent to various tourist attractions and provides free Wi-Fi in the guest rooms. There's no spa or bathtub in the private room, but there's a bath on the second floor, so let's use it. In particular, the breakfast is really delicious!!! Be sure to eat it!!! If you're looking for an emotional accommodation with a traditional Japanese feel at a low price, I recommend this place.

It's a place that looks like it came out of a Ghibli movie ✨ If you walk along the path of the bamboo forest Chikurin located in Arashiyama, Kyoto, you will come across this place ☺️ Recently, this place inside Chikurin has become a popular photo spot rather than Chikurin itself :) 📍Kyoto City Arashiyama Chikurin How to get there: Get off at Nonomiyaeki stop on Kyoto City Bus No. 71 or 72 Local address: 竹林の道 #Kyoto #KyotoTravel #KyotoHotPlace #Japan #JapanTravel #Chikurin #Arashiyama #JapaneseEmotion #PlacesToVisitInJapan #GhibliEmotion #Ghibli

#EmotionalAccommodation #KyotoTravel #JapanTravel #KyotoAccommodation 📍Japan Kyoto, First Cabin Kawaramachi Kyoto accommodation First Cabin Kawaramachi Sanjo has capsules on the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th floors. There are separate floors for men and women. You can eat or talk in the lounge on the 2nd floor. What I liked about First Cabin Kawaramachi Sanjo was that it was quiet because there were several floors and not many cabins (capsules) on each floor :) In particular, the grand piano and bar in the lobby were really cool!

🥢 Kyoto Station ※ Atmosphere: Western restaurant ※ Price: 1,340 yen (yen/hamburger steak, omelet rice) ※ Crazy. Highly recommend the omelet rice👍🏻👍🏻 ※ I couldn't take a picture. You should definitely try the tomato salad. ※ Wheelchair and stroller accessible #Japanese restaurant recommendation #Japan travel

#Overseas travel 1. Kiyomizu-dera If it's your first time to Kyoto, you should definitely visit Kiyomizu-dera. The trees and temple scenery are amazing, and it's a great place to take pictures while walking slowly. It's one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites, so I recommend visiting early in the morning because there are so many people! 2. Kinkaku-ji It's located on the opposite side of Kiyomizu-dera, and you have to transfer buses once to get there in about an hour. It's said that the pavilion was burned down by a monk's arson, but it was rebuilt in 1955. The splendid golden building reflecting on the water is really beautiful. The admission ticket is in the form of a talisman, so it's good to keep :) If you walk one stop back when you get on the bus, you can sit down! 3. Ginkaku-ji Personally, I liked Ginkaku-ji more than Kinkaku-ji because it felt more gentle and feminine. It's a great place for a quiet walk, and the garden is made up of sand and moss, which is very impressive. It's a truly healing place... I highly recommend you visit.

Kyoto, a famous tourist destination in Japan, is decorated with cherry blossoms during the cherry blossom season. I hope you experience Kyoto, where not only famous tourist destinations such as Arashiyama and Kiyomizu-dera, but even the streets you walk along become beautiful places!! #CherryBlossoms #CherryBlossomViewing #CherryBlossomSpots #CherryBlossomViewing #Japan #Kyoto #KyotoTravel #HotPlace

Kifune Shrine is located in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. Though it's far from Kyoto Station, it's located in the mountains and is a popular shrine, especially among women, as a power spot for matchmaking. One of the most popular things at this shrine is the "water fortune telling." By floating a fortune slip in the holy water that springs from the stone wall, you can see the contents of the fortune slip float up, which is fun.

There are many famous shrines and temples in Kyoto, but the one that stands out the most is Kinkaku-ji Temple. The exterior walls are covered in gold leaf, and the way it shines golden is a spectacle that is rarely seen in Japan, a country with a culture of wabi-sabi. However, it is not obnoxious and somehow it blends in with the surrounding scenery. #Kyoto #Kinkaku-ji Temple

Kyoto Station is the gateway to the ancient capital of Kyoto, one of Japan's most historic cities. Numerous forms of transport, including the Shinkansen, various conventional train lines, express buses and local buses, pass through the station, with many people coming and going day and night. As a tourist destination, the station seems to have a particularly good selection of facilities for tourists, such as lockers. #Kyoto #KyotoStation

Atago Shrines are scattered all over Japan, and its head temple is located at the summit of Mount Atago in the northern part of Kyoto City. As it is the final destination of the Atago Mountain climbing, it is visited by many climbers as well as worshippers. It is characterized by its solemn atmosphere on the grounds, which makes it hard to believe that you are at the top of a mountain, and its abundant nature. #MountainClimbing #AutumnFoliage #Kyoto #Shrine #MountAtago

There are many historical sites on Mt. Atago, and this Kuromon gate is one of them. At first glance, it looks like the gate of Atago Shrine, but it is actually the gate of the former Hakuunji Temple. This gate is a remnant of Mt. Atago, which was once a syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism. Its jet black presence is striking. #MountainClimbing #AutumnFoliage #Kyoto #Mt.Atago

Mount Atago is a sacred mountain located in the Kiyotaki area in northern Kyoto. It is famous for being the head temple of all the Atago shrines in Japan, located at the summit, and is visited by many climbers and worshippers. The mountain trail is the approach to the shrine, but it is a fairly steep climb, so some preparation is necessary. Nevertheless, if you climb it, you can stroll through Kyoto's rich nature. The scenery is especially beautiful during the autumn foliage season. #AutumnFoliage #Kyoto #MountainClimbing #MountAtago

Kiyotaki is located at the bus terminus in the mountains in the north of Kyoto City. This mountain area is centered around the Kiyotaki River and is known as the trailhead for Mt. Atago. It is far from the Kyoto city area, so it is a quiet place surrounded by nature. When the autumn leaves reach their peak, people, mainly hikers, visit this secret autumn foliage spot. #AutumnFoliage #Kyoto #Kiyotaki

Mt. Atago, a mountain in the north of Kyoto City, is known as a mountain of faith. Many people have visited the mountain since ancient times, and there used to be a teahouse that served as a rest area. Most of those buildings have now disappeared, but they remain as historic sites that tell the story of the area. The remains of this teahouse are now used by many people as a rest area. #MountainClimbing #AutumnFoliage #Mt.Atago #Kyoto

Flower water fountains were held at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in Kyoto🌸 It seems that about seven other shrines were holding flower water fountains at the same time. When I visited, there weren't many people there, so I was able to take photos smoothly! Please come and visit! #supporttourism

I've introduced it before. It's Keihanna Memorial Park✨ It's in the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture, very close to the border with Nara Prefecture. It's not that well known, but I think it's a very beautiful place♪ Especially during the autumn foliage season🍁, from mid-November to early December, the area around the pond in the Suikeien Garden is beautiful✨ Admission is 200 yen for adults, 100 yen for elementary and junior high school students, free for those over 60 years old who can prove their age, and free for preschoolers. Access: 9 minutes by bus from JR Gakkentoshi Line "Hosono" Station or Kintetsu Kyoto Line "Shin-Hosono" Station. 14 minutes by bus from Kintetsu Keihanna Line "Gakken Nara Tomigaoka" Station #Kyoto #AutumnFoliage #TourismSupport #TourismSupport#BreathtakingView
