Kyoto, sometimes called “The Walking City”, has plenty to see on foot. Today, we took a tour of the eastern side of town and its temples, including a walk along the Philosopher’s Path.
The first stop was Chion-in, whose San-mon gate (and ringing bell) are the largest in Japan.
Below is Nanzen-ji, Zen Buddist temple and its ancient aqueducts.
Later on, Hōnen-in, Ginkaku-ji, and smaller temples with their peaceful landscape gardens and beautiful scenery made for a relaxing, contemplative day.
At night, we took a stroll around Gion, where geishas are sometimes spotted, and indeed we were lucky enough to see some in the busy streets!
Indeed serene. Beautiful
Such beautiful architect and are those lilies? The landscaping is so serene and comforting. Wow got to see Geisha girls don’t they look like porcelain dolls. Enjoy love ya both God bless
