Day 2- Kyoto (Arashiyama Area)

























The above is a picture of our hostel, K-House@ Kyoto and the old Japanese house just opposite our hostel. It is old and new Japan sharing the same street!

After a 2hr day trip from Kyoto to Himeiji yesterday, we decide that for today we shall be having a full day sightseeing around Kyoto. One good thing to get is a 1 day bus pass which will allow you unlimited rides on the bus and its easy to navigate the bus system.


First-Stop: Around and at Kiyomizu-dera Temple















The path from the temple is lively with food stands, souvenirs shops and Japanese sweets for you to savour.






Second-Stop: Nishiki Market

After the temple tour for half the day, we head off to Nishiki Market for lunch.





Third-Stop: Golden Pavillion - Kinkakuji Temple,


























Third- Stop: Ginkakuji "Silver" temple
