Kyoto is one of the most popular cities to visit in Japan, and every day is filled with tourists, and some of the most popular attractions are even more crowded.
But Kyoto rewards every early riser.
Taking advantage of the fact that I live in Gion Shijo, I left my hotel for Ninen-zaka at 5:00 a.m., and there were about zero pedestrians on the street.
The Yasaka Tower on Ninenzaka is usually a huge pile of people at a glance.
Yasaka Shrine. The torii at the entrance is the largest stone torii remaining in Japan.
This goshintsui next to the Tadamori lantern is known as the “water of power” and witnessed three waves of Japanese people bringing their own dozen of mineral water bottles to catch the spring water here.
Japanese crows are really big and black and not afraid of people.
There are 30 million deities in Japan, and in order to make sure that everyone has something to eat, they have subdivided themselves into various vertical areas. The shrine on the other side of the road put up a banner advertising itself as the place to cut off bad karma and make good karma.
The Japanese seem to really like hydrangeas, and many families have some planted in front of their homes. Of course, I like it too. The flowers are long, big and come in many different colors, so who wouldn't like a flower that's so delightful.
Exploring Arashiyama again. The first time I visited Arashiyama, I asked a Japanese friend why it was called Arashiyama. She said it seems to be called Arashiyama because the wind often blows from the mountain.
I even booked a Sagano Retro Train online and traveled through the mountain.
There were still people rafting on the Katsura River, but it didn't look too intense.
