Nijo castle
Friday, June 28, 2019 This was our last day in Japan (technically not – with a post midnight flight). Again, I carried my camera and rushed to a early morning stroll alone with the intention to quickly cover Nijo castle…
Ginkakuji Temple (銀閣寺)
Thursday, June 27, 2019 It was drizzling and raining intermittently and I self-appreciated myself for stretching yesterday with many sight-by covering many sight-seeings as it could have been tough to cover with the rain (The rain forecast worked). As we…
Kinkakuji Temple (金閣寺)
Wednesday, June 26, 2019 Yes, still same date after doing Fushima Inari, Arashiyama and continues to Kinkakuji temple due to rain forecast for next 2 days. This is one of the most visited place in Kyoto after Kiyomizudera. This zen…
Arashiyama (嵐山)
Wednesday, June 26, 2019 We took Hankyu-Kyoto line to Katsura station and then Hankyu-Arashiyama line to Arashiyama. It was the same day after the morning visits to Fushima Inari. Next 2 days forecast wasn’t that promising, so had to get…

Shore-in temple

Chion-in temple (知恩院)
Wednesday, June 26, 2019 To give a break to the recurrent visits to my family (and to use my ultra-active way to explore), I went to Chion-in temple and Shore-in temple after an early breakfast. Early birds do get catch…
Ninen-zaka street and Yasaka Shrine
Tuesday, June 25, 2019 After the visit at the time of closing the Kiyomizu-dera temple, its too perfect to not to follow the crowd and follow the small stone stairs street, to see the real authentic views of Kyoto. Its…
Kiyomizu-dera temple
Tuesday, June 25, 2019 Post lunch, after letting the sun slide little to the side from the head, we took taxi to Kiyomizu dera temple. One of the most visited, poster celebrated temple of Kyoto. Our timing couldn’t be more…
Nishiki Market (Nishiki Ichiba 錦市場) & other eateries – Kyoto
Tuesday, June 25, 2019 Nishiki market is a super narrow, mostly crowded, old but full-of-charm street stretched nearly a kilometre near Kawarmachi Station. Its mainly for food and related. Here, many places requested photographs should not be taken. Its open…
Kyoto Day 1 – Marumaya Park
Monday, June 24, 2019 The more exciting part of the Japan finally started. With a big grin (that I no longer need to worry about the small room and secretly praying my Kyoto destination has a better one), checked out…
