The whole city is a historical site...temples, gardens, the houses, the layout of the city itself.. I'm only sorry that I had not studied or read enough on its history beforehand - would have given the visit another depth.. great place.
 |
| Family run place - Totally home made - the most delicious ramen in the world! |
 |
| Colour explosion! |
 |
| Ryoanji temples's rock garden - there are total of 15 rocks but from any one view point in the garden; can one see all 15 of them at once (meaning that humans are not perfect and ought not to be greedy trying possess all..) - but it's meaning is free for your own intepretation. |
 |
| The palace isn't interesting at all - just looked really good at this precise time of the day when the sun started setting.. the landscape absolutely luscious |
 |
| Boat-shaped pine tree; one of the famous 5 pine trees in Japan - much, much more interesting than the kitch golden palace |
 |
| Fishiminari Shrine - never ending tunnel of orange Torii gates - average of 2 hours takes to go around them all.. worth it everytime!! |
 |
| The gates are gifts from the believers of the religion |
 |
 |
| They just looked so good |
 |
| Arashiyama bamboo forest |
 |
| Ramen, oden.. boat restaurant comes to you |
