Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ The Huajian Road in the garden is also near the hotel where you live, and it can be reached in steps. Sometimes it takes a few times a day. Huajian Road has always felt that the name is very wonderful, a bit romantic and a little fresh. It is said that this is a famous geisha area, but I didn't see much geisha ladies. There are many young ladies who wear kimonos. Huajian Road is also a scenic spot worth visiting. The layout structure is more traditional Japanese style and characteristics. There are also many snacks and dining places. Because the itinerary is slightly rushed, there is no more stops in Huajian Road.

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ The first monastery in Kyoto. Only by bus can you reach it. After getting off the bus, go all the way up, passing restaurants and small shops along the way. The scenery along the way is also very beautiful, not slow, come to the 3,000 courtyard, very simple doorway. Buy tickets for admission, take off your shoes after entering, and visit along the sign. The 3,000 courtyards are large, and all kinds of trees and red maples are quite spectacular. If you want to go all over the courtyard, all the viewing is in place, it feels like it will take more than half a day. The scenery is so beautiful that I will linger. You can also pray for blessings in the courtyard and buy Yushou. The first trip to choose to come to the 3,000 courtyard is a wonderful start. By the way, it was the peak lunch hour when I came out of the 3,000 courtyard. The restaurants at the door were all full, hungry, and quickly found another way out.

We were pretty shocked that this shrine is small. You get a view of the surroundings if you pay the entrance fee of 500yen to enter. The gardens are very well maintaned and really quite pretty!Worth a visit only if you have alot of spare time.

The Nishi-Honwan Temple is the largest wooden complex in Japan, with buildings and fascinating gardens built from the 1st century. The majestic posture of the Yuyingtang and Amituotang in the courtyard is magnificent. The remnants of Fushimi City's Tangmen, Japan's oldest Beineng stage, Bai Academy, Black Academy, Feiyun Pavilion and other buildings tell the present people about the gorgeous Taoshan culture.

The landmark of Osaka city. One of the best place to see the mable leaf. Explain the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. You can imagine how he felt when he stood on the top floor of the castle, while looking at his kingdom.

Came on June 9, 2013. Kiyomizu Temple is a must-visit attraction in Kyoto. The landlord shrine in Kiyomizu Temple Scenic Area is also not to be missed, because this is the most famous place in Japan for marriage! Here, you can see many young girls in kimonos, flocking here to pray for God to give the best, is an interesting landscape. In fact, the landlord shrine is also a monument, the main hall, the palace and the main entrance are "important cultural wealth", with the important historical value and artistic value recognized by the state, it is worth seeing.

Renhe Temple, the imperial cherry blossom period here is much more than the general cherry blossom evening, can be said to be the last "flower see" in Kyoto. When more than 200 imperial cherry blossoms at Renhe Temple began to cherry blossoms and snow fell, it indicates that this year's cherry blossom season is really over. The cherry blossom sea here is like a gorgeous scene in your dreams, strolling along the walkway between the "Royal House cherry", which is a completely different feeling from the general cherry forest, as if it had entered a flower bush, surrounded by a sea of flowers. Looking up, you can see the towering five towers, standing above the sea of flowers, classical and solemn.
