Activiteiten in Kioto

Fushimi Inari Taisha was a magical place. So beautiful for pictures. We went early evening before it got dark and it was perfect as not too many people. Highly recommended in Kyoto.

A swift ride up the river gorge. Try and get a seat on the RHS for better views but it’s only 20 mins and lots of tunnels so it doesn’t really matter. And be sure to get the river boat back down, it’s the best way back down. You don’t have to book in advance, just get the special direct bus from outside the train station, rock up and ride. Loved the whole thing - about 3 hours total round trip.

刚结束一场持续很久的病痛，整个人虚得连走路都发飘，住进这家酒店的几天，慢慢把精气神养了回来。它能让你褪去一身疲惫，让灵魂在静谧中得以诗意地安放。所有的灯光都是柔和的暖调，不会晃得人头晕，床的软硬度刚好能托住腰，不会躺久了发酸，餐食都是温温的、好消化的清粥小菜，连空气里的味道都是淡的，不会刺激到敏感的呼吸道。我每天慢悠悠在院子里散散步，看墙角的野花慢慢开，坐在屋檐下晒晒太阳，连脚步都放得轻轻的，不用急着赶康复进度，不用逼着自己快点好起来，偷得浮生半日闲，在此寻得久违的从容与自在。那几天我完全顺着自己的节奏生活，没有任何催促和压力，身体恢复的速度比预想中快了好多。

My Perfect Kyoto One-Day Walk (Tested & No Crowds!)*> 7:15am Start at Fushimi Inari Taisha! Go early, the 1000 Torii gates are empty and the light is magical for photos. Hike only to the middle, view is already amazing.> 9:30am train to Kiyomizu-dera, walk down Sannenzaka & Ninenzaka - super photogenic streets, rent a kimono here! > 12pm Hanamikoji & Yasaka Shrine in Gion, you might spot a Geisha!> 1pm Lunch at Nishiki Market - must try Tamagoyaki and pickled snacks.> 4pm End at Kamogawa River for sunset, locals sit by the river, very relaxing.> Tip: Buy JR 7-day pass, save a lot! I booked all tickets via http://Trip.com, easy QR entry.

Go here if you want to explore street food in Kyoto. These two alleys have food stalls and restaurants to fill your cravings for dango, daigaku, kobe beef, wagyu burger, matcha ice cream, etc.It's a good sidetrip when you're going to Yasaka Pagoda and Yasaka Koshindo Temple.

We enjoyed our time in this railway musem so much that we came again the next day! Tickets sold on tripcom are same price as walk in tickets, so easier to book online from app. There's shinkansen driving simulator you can join, but you need to register for the slot the night before , booking starts at 8pm on its website.
