For one full day, we went to one of the tourist’s highlights of Japan, a city full of Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, beautiful gardens and buildings inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, beautiful girls dressed in traditional Japanese kimono, … If you want to fully enjoy the beauty of Kyoto, you would have to spend weeks, maybe even months in this city. We had only one day to do it and just the journey from Tokyo to Kyoto and back took us about six hours by Shinkansen. So we visited the most famous shrine Fushimi Inari-Taisha for its thousand red gates. Then we went to the Nijō Castle, which at the time of our visit was mostly covered because of reconstruction. Finally, we went to the famous Gion district. If you wonder what exactly means to be a geisha, you’ll find out in the last part of the video. We had the opportunity to see Kyoto out of the high season, in the winter. Therefore, we look forward to visiting this interesting and beautiful city in the spring, when it will be full of sakura cherry trees in bloom.
