Kyoto Autumn Walk 2014


I joined an autumn walk around Kyoto last year and we saw some really nice places. We all met first in Arashiyama and walk all the way central Kyoto.

We passed by several temples and shrine but unfortunately, I lost the list of names that I made. So please enjoy the tour.

On our way to the Golden Temple, we passed by this area

I think this is the Saga-Arashiyama railroad.

Near the Golden Temple , we passed by a parking area and the trees are around it were very beautiful.

After lunch we continue our walk to the next shrine. It was a small one , mostly local tourist but it was beautiful. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can remember how to get there too.

The entrance to the temple or shrine(?). Unless you get inside the main hall , you don’t need to pay to enjoy the lovely trees outside.

We continued our walk and on our way we passed by another big temple.

This area is not open to the public but they opened the door, to allow visitor to glimpse at the garden.

It would be nice to have a picnic under these trees.

We walked more or less 20 km around Kyoto that day. The weather was great, the company was great. It was an amazing day.
