Kansai  Kyoto

From Osaka Station to Kyoto Station needs about 45 minutes to the local JR train, 540 Yen. Or by train from the railway Hankyu Umeda-Osaka Station to Karawamachi-Kyoto, which is 390 yen cheaper. JR train ride when the train departs and Hankyu when returning back to Osaka.



To get around in Kyoto is the most convenient and inexpensive is to ride the bus. We can buy a 1 day bus pass in the existing machines in the city bus terminal in front of Kyoto Station, bought at a hostel place to stay in Kyoto, or just buy the bus driver for 500 yen. All locations, mostly temples, can be reached by bus, but some places take a long time to achieve it. As the location of the Fushimi Inari Shrine. By bus it took about 50 minutes but with only a 6-minute train from Kyoto Station, 140 Yen. Up local train JR Nara Line (Track 8-9-10), which stops at both stations Inari Station. And the temple entrance is tucked in front of the exit station.

Kyoto is famous for the number of unique Shrine from each other. Fushimi Inari Torii gate is famous for its rows are arranged lined. Each Torii is donated by individuals or companies. Installation contributor name and year written on the pole every Torii. The article looks if we run from top to bottom.

The next goal is Arashiyama and Sagano bamboo lines located in western Kyoto. This area is also accessible by bus but would prefer to save time by train from Kyoto Station to JR Sagano Line (Track 33) about 15 minutes to Saga Arashiyama station, 230 yen. Arashiyama, the actual current draw when the cherry blossoms bloom or autumn when the leaves of the trees turn yellow and finally red before falling. Tourist area with a variety of souvenir shops and restaurants are located around a wide river with bridge. In addition it is also visited by many is the bamboo forest paths or known as the Sagano bamboo forest.

Back to Kyoto Station and headed straight to the Temple Kyomizudera by bus No.100. There are 3 temples are most often used as an icon of Kyoto, namely, Kinkakuji Temple which is gold-plated, with a row of Fushimi Inari Torii, and Temple Kyomizudera interesting because of the location of the temple on the hill. This place will be very interesting in the autumn when the leaves become colorful. From up here we can also look toward the city of Kyoto. The ticket is 300 yen. Not much to see here other than the temple itself with the background of the city of Kyoto.

Kyomizudera temple, we walked down to get to the Gion area. Towards Gion Higashiyama area which must pass through a small street with a row of stalls with traditional Japanese buildings.

Gion is the evening entertainment district known as the Geisha district. Especially in the afternoon before the evening, we will meet some Maiko or geisha who are beginners runs at a brisk pace. Geisha are traditional Japanese entertainers who must master a variety of dances and how to entertain his guests food and beverages. With a soft-spoken and awake.
