Ohayou Gozaimasu!

The third place I have planned to check out is Kyoto!
I’m really looking forward to this city. It looks amazing!
Here are a few things that I hope to do:
- Go to the Kyoto International Manga Museum
- Take part in a Japanese tea ceremony
- Go to the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji)
- Visit the Nijo Castle – particularly the Nightingale Floor
- Go to Gion – the Geisha district
- Visit the Fushimi Inan Shrine
- Be inspired by the Kyoto Imperial Palace
Has anyone been to these places? comment below and let me know what you thought 🙂
Or if you have been to Kyoto and know of other places that would be great to visit, let me know as well
I think my month away will go far too quickly and I’ll want to stay forever…

I want to hear all about the tea ceremony!
I have heard it is really hard to be part of a proper tea ceremony. I managed to find someone in Hiroshima who will show me how it is all done though which will be awesome. I’ll make sure that I post about it.
The Fushimi Inari shrine/mountain is amazing. No places like it. Just rows and rows of torii from bottom up to the top.
You should definitely drop by Kiyomizu temple as well. I think it’s one of the most scenic temples in Kyoto and you can get a great look at the city ^_^
Thanks for letting me know about the Kiyomizu temple 🙂
I’ll make sure I get to it.
